    First time there for brunch, food was awesome, tasty and filling. Menu items/Flavors were not something you normally get at a brunch location, sophisticated and delightful. Staff was attentive and efficient, pleasant and very nice, great atmosphere. Will be going back soon.

    Great server- knowledgeable with good recommendations. Food was very good except the dessert. Beverages were good (fly flew in my glass inside in the winter which was odd but the team took care of it). It was a little loud only because of several large parties. A little pricey for what it is but we’ll be back to try more.

    From the moment our party walked in to the minute we left we were surrounded by warmth. We were welcomed by multiple friendly employees including both the hostess and manager. The restaurant was tastefully decorated for the holidays. We were promptly shown our table where our wonderful server Jill met us. It was clear right away this was going to be a very positive experience. She had answers to all of our questions and her expertise and knowledge of the menu was apparent. The menu was thoughtfully designed and well executed. Each choice was more surprising than the next combining the old with the new. Service, ambience, and food is the standard all others should be measured. The Granddam is the total package!

    Dinner had lots of interesting combinations that was delicious. Great attentive service, and not rushed. The wine list is really nice. The perfect place for a date, or special occasion. My only negative was limited top shelf alcohol choices due to the seasonal menu changing including bar drinks. We’ll definitely come back again. RK
