    We had a wonderful brunch today. We were disappointed in the noise level unfortunately where we sat. But this is still one of our favorite places to eat and the staff is wonderful!

    We were at Summer Place for brunch. It was our first time there. We hade the bacon and the deviled eggs for starters. The presentation of the dishes is elegant. For entrees we had the quiche and it was quite delicious as well. And best of all the restaurant is non-profit, benefitting children with autism and Downs Syndrome. We will definitely return.

    Beautiful restaurant, service was fine, but the food… incredibly disappointing. Despite the great view, will not return. What a shame their food doesn’t match the view.

    This was my first time attending Simmer Place for Brunch. The occasion was my early birthday celebration. I was disappointed with my meal. The Summer Place omelette was bland and my diced potato was very salty. My two guest enjoyed their short rib hash but stated they felt it was a bit underwhelming as well. I was hoping for the same experience that I have had during previous dinner experiences but this time Summer place missed the mark . It was also very crowded and loud where we sat that I struggled to hear the person sitting next to me. My food was nothing to write home about this time!!!
