    We were seated promptly with no wait time. Roman the server was friendly and patient. We had a couple “special” requests and he took care of them without a hitch. Food was delicious and several staff members spoiled us with attention and great service.

    The mates d was not pleasant! We arrived on time requested a booth waited for it while otw to being seated he said we were only party of 2 and the booth was needed for larger parties. We asked why we had been given the booth and then he finally seated us. Never had such an experience there in the past just not nice. Never saw this gentleman before.

    Wish we would have known that Mother’s Day dinner was going to be a buffet. It was a surprise when we got there and especially attending with kids, it wasn’t the best selection or value for them.

    We made a reservation at your place for Mother’s Day unexpected to have a choice from the menus. Once we arrived. We were told that the only have puff face style serving at a whopping $58 per person. This is absurd. I would have never eaten there with my family if you would have advertised this in advance, you never even posted it or told us on the phone when we called, this screw your customer this was totally uncalled for and I highly doubt it. I will return to your place for a while. I understand I could’ve just left, but we had nowhere else to go so we decided to stay and the food choices were not that great risotto was awful and you ran out of tiramisu, I could go on and on it was just an overall very disappointing experience and I would have never doubts that you would screw the customer like that with an only buffet style menu very disappointed

    We came for Mothers Day brunch and everyone loved it! Something for everyone on the buffet and everything looked and tasted fresh. We had an outdoor table that was wonderful with the umbrellas. Staff were very attentive and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We will be back!
