Did not expect to have a sampling of EVERYTHING on the brunch menu…what a pleasant surprise. The speed in the which dishes were served was just right, serving staff very attentive. The mimosas and margaritas were great! Definitely put this restaurant at the top of your list.

We have been to this restaurant many times. The food is consistently good one of the quieter, restaurants around with real table cloths. Although they serve the food fast. There was absolutely no rush. They have European manners in that they don’t clear plates until everybody’s done. another example of how they don’t rush you.
