    We visited after the theater. Lots of variety to choose from. I had brisket dinner, others had Mac and cheese, everyone was satisfied. The matzoh ball soup was delish as was the chicken soup and chilli appetizers.

    We were happy with our Sunday brunch experience from beginning to end. The food was tasty and came out in a timely fashion. Other than having to flag our waitress down for coffee once we were completely happy. Will definitely return there for lunch or dinner sometime.
