    2 guests in a group of 4 had tested positive for COVID the morning of the reservation, called early to cancel and was told all 4 would be charged a late cancellation fee. So much for understanding. Recommend finding other restaurants in the area. They just lost 4 repeat customers.

    The mother's day brunch food was delicious and we enjoyed the different dishes and options. It was a bit chaotic in the dining room, the wait for a clean plate was long and a bit confusing, and the wait for the check was not so enjoyable. Otherwise, this was a wonderful experience and one that I would definitely repeat and recommend.

    The Mothers Day brunch was disappointing. The whole place was extremely busy and we had to wait 15 minutes past our reservation time, no big deal, we didn’t mind waiting for a table to clear up. The food was very good and the buffet line moved quickly, which was appreciated. Our waitress was attentive but the larger tables took up a majority of her time so I did have to ask for refills on our drinks. We also got served our check rather quickly and once we paid, it was assumed we would be leaving our table even though we had not finished our plate or visited the desert table. I didn’t appreciate feeling rushed after having only been seated 15 minutes. The whole experience was fine overall but certainly not worth $85 a plate. I don’t think I would go back.

    The food was very good and the staff was excellent. The mother's day brunch was rather expensive and the line to the brunch buffet was too long. Tandem did not manage guest seatings adequately and thus many people arrived in the line at the same time.

    The food was as always excellent! However the staff really needs better training. When we first arrived we were very hungry so asked for some bread. The fellow delivering the water, said he wasn't sure about that, and we would have to wait to ask our waiter. I was surprised he didn't offer to get the answer from the waiter or other staff himself, but nothing was done to answer the questions. This continued on and off throughout the night, although our primary waiter was excellent.

    Food was excellent although a bit on the salty side. Choices were limited due to graduation weekend and that may have pushed prices up. Server was attentive even if the restaurant was packed. We were here before for brunch and it was also very good. Highly recommend.
