    Happy Mother’s Day! The experience started out rocky with service. But Zach and Jonathan came to the rescue and fixed it all. We had a wonderful lunch or brunch and you can’t argue with that!!!

    Mother’s Day brunch was perfect. Great food, great ambiance, and great service. My daughter had so much fun playing all the games and wants to come back and “bring dad this time” 😂

    Made reservations for what was marketed as a special “Mothers Day Brunch” and when we arrived they had a 2 item brunch menu and one of those items was a specialty cocktail. I should have looked at the menu beforehand, but when it’s marketed as a specialty brunch , I’d assume they would have more than 1 option. The drinks were fine and we went to another restaurant after. Just felt very misleading. Great place for dinner though, they need to stick to that.

    Nothing like we were led to believe as far as an eating experience. Noisy, impersonal layout, poor music, mediocre food. Just drive by don’t even think about dropping in.!

    Although I had made the reservation with a birthday celebration, no one knew about it. Appetizer took forever then the meal came out. I sent it back explaining to the waiter to take it back. He was rude saying I didn’t need to give him so much information. Used to be my favorite. Will not return!
