    Easter brunch was very limited in number of choices, and the food was not good, although it was very expensive. This place has acquired a strip joint type of atmosphere, which is very different from how it was before. Thumbs down.

    Took my mom out for Easter brunch and couldn’t have been happier with everything! Very nice selection of food from pasta, poke, tacos, salads, and great meat selections! A very nice selection of cakes for desserts as well! Will be visiting here again soon

    While we enjoyed the food, we did not enjoy how the staff was dressed. Our whole group felt uncomfortable by the provocative nature of the girls uniforms.

    Bland steak and baked potato - despite big portions & good service you need to lower your expectations
