    We loved our experience. We've been several times, this time we went for mother's day and my daughter's birthday. The server was excellent, he always attentive but let us take our time. The food was excellent. I'm a chef so the bar is high. The atmosphere was wonderful, they had incredible live music.

    The eggs Benedict were amazing. We camped the breads which were all really good. The monkey bread is better than dessert. Waldorf salad didn’t disappoint. Service was great as well. This place did not disappoint.

    It’s always a great experience when the hostess is as friendly as Alicia, it just sets the mood to the whole evening to be greeted so warmly and kindly by competent people. The service was great, the food was phenomenal as usual and the ambience is the best in the city. We love this place

    We waited 30 minutes before our server came over to us which was frustrating. My chicken was completely undercooked and not edible. As someone that frequents this restaurant, I was very disappointed and will be hesitant to return.

    Great food; very slow and inattentive service. We order fish entrees and salads and they were great! However, we barely saw our server and it took a long time to get our food!
