Amazing brunch for new years. I had to drop rating a bit because when we arrived at 10:52 the lady wanted us to go away for ten minutes as they were not quite open. It was wet and windy out. She relented and let us wait in the porch. She could have easily let us sit. After that everything was amazingly presented and tasted amazing.

It was NYE so lots of leeway being given here for any gaps in quality, timing and service. The cost though was high for the quality of food received even for a 3 course meal. The steak was great and served as ordered (rare etc). The halibut was very over cooked. The lobster in shells was light on lobster heavy on spinach. Drinks were ok but reasonably priced as was the wine. Service was very friendly but took sometime to receive items but again giving leeway due to it being NYE. Overall I’ll be back to try again on another day.
