    Server was phenomenal. Drinks were terrible- had to tell the server how to make a French 75 which is a pretty typical drink and it came back on ice- never happened that way before and then when was remade, it tasted like flat lemon water. Substituted fries for a side salad which was a few pieces of lettuce. So paid $35 for crab cakes with some lettuce on the side. Disappointed overall other than our wonderful server.

    My wife and I enjoyed an early Saturday brunch at Summer House. She had the blueberry pancakes and I had the 3-egg breakfast. The food was well prepared and very tasty. The portions were large. We shared a huge cinnamon bun to end the meal! The service was excellent. We will return.

    Our server was really nice. But she was busy and the service was slow from the beginning, food was average. Dirty plates not removed. There are so many places in this area, I’m not sure I would pick this over the other restaurants.

    Salmon nachos were too salty. Nacho/wontons didn’t hold the toppings well. Very mediocre.

    Had an amazing experience here. The food was seasoned perfectly and enjoyable. And the huge cookies are a must. So many flavors to try we did sea salt chocolate and a wild bananas. Very soft and chewy. Highly recommend
