Great food and great service. I especially loved the Eggplant Parmesan (Sunday special). The manager checked on us twice during our visit to make sure everything was enjoyable.

Deerfield does not disappoint. Our family tradition of Brunch with Santa continued this year. The food was delicious, the service was spot on. They were both attentive without being overbearing. Thank you for giving the opportunity to keep a treasured transition going!
