The bar is really low! This restaurant food does not deserve the 4.5 star rating! It is at best 3 star. We ordered sliders, medium rare steak and fries, and salmon with Parmesan risotto. We got cold sliders, a well done steak with no seasoning or flavor, a tiny piece of salmon with some sort of cold bourbon sauce on top of it and a mushroom risotto instead of Parmesan. The food quality and appearance was awful! The service was very good, crazy price for the value and quality given. You should pass!!!!

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re so sorry to hear that your meal didn’t meet expectations—it's disappointing to know we missed the mark on the quality and presentation of your dishes, especially with the mix-up on your order. We’re thrilled to hear that the service was good, but we recognize that the food quality and value are just as important.

This was our second visit. Our first time was great but this time just okay. Our appetizers and food came out with little time lag which was the best part. The entrees were so-so. After the meal was complete, it took a long time for our waiter to come to the table. I actually had to yell his name as he was walking by. Even paying the check was an extended time.

Sandra was awesome! We were greeted warmly upon entering. She explained the brunch menu to us and immediately took out drink orders. Food was delicious! This was my third visit for brunch and my husband’s first. I had the power omelette and he had the chicken and waffle.
