    I was pretty disappointed in the Mother’s Day brunch for $30 a person, each time we went up to the buffet many of the dishes were gone and waiting to be refilled. I guess that it’s a buffet, and stuff has to be replaced. But I just don’t feel that it was worth $30 a person.

    This was a good experience for Mother’s Day. The food was good and the restaurant looked nice. Our server was just ok- it took 10 minutes from the time we were seated for her to realize we were her table. Then she was just lack luster. We left taking about how a business owner can have everything set up so nice but the employees have to give the customer experience. Loved that my wife got a little complimentary flower. Would have been nice if the waitress would have said happy Mother’s Day or just been in a better mood. She didn’t do anything wrong after she really we were her table, just seemed like she didn’t want to be there. She got 20% anyway on the tip because you included it. Honestly I go anywhere from the old school 15% up to 25%+ if I like the individual- she would have been a 15% exactly.
