First time dining here for my husband and myself. Our server, Wyatt was very friendly and helpful in explaining the menu and offering suggestions. I had an Orange Martini and my husband had a Buffalo Trace Old Fashion, both were very good. I enjoyed the Shrimp Ceviche as a starter and my husband had the B+V salad. We were served a complimentary Burrata with asparagus which was delicious. A very nice gesture.

My mom and I have been doing Mother’s Day brunch here for the past 4 years and it never disappoints. From the food to the service to the drinks. I love that they always change up the menu. My lemon drop martini was 🔥 We always enjoy it and will keep the tradition going.

We attended the Easter brunch. Buffett was over priced for what it was. Also food was cold and constantly running out. Service was very good, but food was disappointing and over priced.

We had a wonderful experience! When booking I added a note that my son was allergic to peanuts. I honestly never expected anyone to notice but when we got there, a gentleman came to our table and let us know he saw the note, told us everything that was safe to eat and what was not and even said the chef had our food aside in the back that was safe if needed. Food and service was awesome! We can’t wait to go back.
