This was the first time me and my girlfriend dined at The Love and it will definitely not be the last. We had reservations to sit in the dining area but the vibe was so great at the bar we chose to dine with the amazing bartender Willie! Drinks were made to perfection and his food recommendations were on par. This will be my new spot to dine with friend or even solo!

Mendenhall is one of our favorite restaurants but we hadn't been to their Sunday Brunch in years. We will definitely be returning soon. It is one of the best brunch buffets I have been to. Great variety- a raw bar with shrimp, oysters, smoked salmon and more, a salad bar, an omelet station, soup, side dishes for the omelet, pasteries, a prime rib station and a huge dessert table that featured bananas foster. You also get mimosas and coffee, tea, or soda. But the true bonus you get at Mendenhall is the service and the welcoming atmosphere. They make you feel special from the time you enter to the time you leave. Andy is a remarkable server (I always ask for him) and our used dishes were cleared as soon as we left to go to the buffet for a refill. Very attentive and so very pleasant. Had a wonderful experience..
