Our waitress was very busy but somehow managed to take care of everyone at the door and at the tables. She was extremely polite and patient even though some in our party took a long time to order. The food was very good and served fairly quickly. I will be back.

This place was cute. We did the weekend brunch buffet and followed with the spirits tour and tasting. Brunch was just ok, nothing spectacular. The tour was fun and informative, I would recommend it. Our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable!
