Salmon was delicious, two had the special stuffed chicken which they really enjoyed and one had the spicy Asian pasta which she thought was very good. Our waiter Jose was amazing, friendly and knowledgeable. Love the atmosphere and the scenery.

Great brunch deal and decent food. Issue was the service and us having to ask four times for them to turn the heaters off. I'm not exaggerating when I'm telling you I had to take my sweater vest off and just wear a black undershirt to be able to stay there.

My wife and I went to brunch to celebrate her birthday. We were seated next to the fireplace which provided a pleasant ambiance. The brunch included a pastry and coffee before the main course which included choice of mixed drink ( we chose a mimosa). We also had several choices for desert. The apple strudel was delicious.
