Our server was attentive and friendly but not intrusive. Our food was very good (salmon, burger and crab cake) and recommend all of our dishes. Particularly when you taste the side dishes you understand that the kitchen really knows what it is doing. Be aware that this is a restaurant in a hotel so while it is decorated nicely, it is still cavernous.

arrived for a 10am reservation and did not get service from our waiter Jude, for 40min; had to ask another server about where our table staff was; thankfully Brandy brought us our drinks and continued to provide back up service. I enjoyed the food and the small plate offerings, I just wished our service was more consistent.

Had a great brunch on New Years Day thanks to Richie. The food was great and the buffet well stocked. We enjoyed everything from fried chicken to doughnuts and delicious cocktails. For a Sunday brunch, I was surprised at how NOT noisy it was. And also, I’m not sure if was saying goodbye to 2022 or what, but as I made my second trip up to the buffet, the people around the restaurant looked happy and seemed to be genuinely enjoying themselves- I’d like to think it was the ambiance, helpful staff that pointed me to a delicious dessert I hadn’t tried, and all the rest of the great food.

I’m not sure why a reservation was required, however, I have no complaints about the service not the food. The amount of food was definitely a 10 out of 10. My best friends eggs weren’t cooked how she asked, but they were more than happy to fix them for her.

We had a beautiful table by the fireplace. Just loved it. It was late so we skipped apps. We'd been there before and ordered our favs, the lasagna and the Sunday dinner. Both were excellent!! Oh and bread given with pesto dip was delicious. We shared a bottle of Sauv Blanc, and it was really good! I want to find it and buy it. Our waiter continued to fill our water and add to our wine glasses as needed. We can't wait to return!
