    Brunch was very good. Large portions, great presentation. Only thing off was where we were seated by hostess. The place wasn’t busy, and they had all tables immediately next to one another so conversations were a bit awkward.

    Delicious food, quick service. Loved the igloo, but do wish it was a little easier to eat in. Would be ideal for apps and drinks, but 8 of us were happy and cozy for lunch! Very warm!

    Sat in the loft area, which is our favorite section because it is much quieter & a cozy corner. Food was excellent as always. I had the seafood pasta, which had a generous amount of seafood & a light sauce. My husband had steak which was large & cooked just how he liked it. Service was excellent! Been here several times & will be back again because everything is consistently good!
