    Celebrating my mom’s 102nd birthday! Wait staff and hostess were all so attentive and patient. We had plenty of time to visit without being rushed. Food was fantastic.

    Great lunch especially if you are in the art museum district of Fort Worth. We sat outside by the reflecting pool. It was lovely and our server was terrific.

    Noise was an impediment to discussion. Anything you can do to dampen it? Textiles on reflective walls?

    We were disappointed both the pear salad and the sandwich were unavailable. Service was great and we enjoyed our time today.

    Very pretty spot for lunch, and the food is good. It has gotten noticeably more expensive since just a couple years ago, and portions are small. Best for birthdays or other special occasion.
