    Went for a Holiday Brunch. Beautiful decorations. All staff very friendly, attentive and professional. Our waitress was great - I THINK her name was Allison. I love Brunch buffets - they are hard to find since COVID. So nice to see they offer that here. A nice selection of different breakfast and lunch items. As well as desserts. Price is very reasonable. Beautiful view on the water. Food fresh and very good. Have been to this restaurant before - would definitely recommend it.

    Food as well as service were excellent! Plenty of time between drinks and courses. Did not feel rushed. Would recommend for any occasion or just a dinner for two.
