We had another wonderful brunch at Tchefunctes. We sat outside and enjoyed the overcast day and breeze. The food was amazing as always. The servers, management and chefs all made the experience phenomenal. The lives music is always a treat. The only noise was the screaming kids from the Anchor below but we enjoyed the view more than we didn’t like that. Thank you for another amazing experience!
