    We had an excellent experience, the service we received was 5-star. The waitress who was helping us, named Sarah, was very attentive and helped us with the menu. She was always attentive to us, super friendly, kind, and very respectful. We highly recommend this restaurant. The location is also very nice and family-friendly.

    I wish I would have been informed ahead of time that it would be buffet only on mother's day. Basic buffet food and outrageously overpriced. The entrees would have been a way better experience.

    I was disappointed at the Mother’s Day brunch. The prime rib was chewy and horrible. The chicken was overcooked and so was the cod. Was not worth the $58 a person.

    The buffet is one of the best I've been to. The food was excellent. The service was very good and the ambiance, although crowded, was still quite good.

    The brunch was delicious. Everything was so fresh, nice selection, especially of desserts. The line set up needs some work. Maybe having the omelet stain at the end or a different area would be better. It really holds up the line. We revived cold coffee with little straws (like you get with a cocktail) to store the coffee. Took us by surprise considering the quality of the linens and silverware and the overall esthetics of the table and restaurant. We asked a bus boy for fresh coffee and spoons. Then it was perfect :) and but pricey for a limited brunch buffet. Coffee wasn't included. It was $135 For 2 people. Not sure if that is the going price for Sunday brunch at this restaurant or if it was bc it was Mother's day.

    Our service was fantastic. We went for my parent’s anniversary. My brother was in attendance, and his diet is a pain to work around (he can’t have eggs or dairy). The server was so patient and accommodating!

    My family had dinner last night on Saturday. It was busy but service was great. Our server was Heidi, she was very friendly and attentive and very accommodating to any requests we had. The food was delicious and we had a great dinner out.
