Every Monday to Thursday from 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM, kids 12 and under can craft their own pizzas at the official pizza counter with our chefs for $7.95 plus tax (gratuity not included). Or opt for our tableside option, and have all the ingredients delivered to your table for the whole family to get in on the fun!

No surprises here. It’s pricey for the quality & quantity of the food served. Not crazy about the kale salad, needs another green to cut the bitterness. Burgers & other sandwiches, standard, nothing to complain about, nothing noteworthy, fries a bit weak, droopy, not piping hot. Sound level, through the roof. But it’s an attractive dining room & service is always friendly & efficient. Best part, amazing cookies & bars to take home for snacking later.

My wife and I enjoyed a nice early Sunday brunch at Summer House. We started with the warm cinnamon bun. It was large enough to share and quite tasty. We both opted for the blueberry pancakes and a side of breakfast meat. We each received three dinner plate size pancakes. They were fluffy and delicious. We took half of them home. The service was top notch!

My friend and I sat off to the left of the area where you check in for a table. There's more natural light and less noisy. The main dining area is much noisier. We wanted to be able to talk.

Please consider closing off the kitchen either by a glass wall or solid wall. The noise level is ridiculously loud and destroys any enjoyment. Why you would expose people to loud clanging dishes is beyond comprehension.
