    You can't ask for a better Holiday Brunch. What a treat!!! Outside: the Detroit Christmas Tree, people ice skiing, and families gathered around Adirondack chairs with fire pits. Inside was some of the best service in the downtown area. Our waiter, Adam, knew what we needed before we did. He was attentive but not overbearing. My husband and I make it a point to request waiters who we deeply appreciated. Adam most certainly made the list. The food was lovely. I will say the plates were small for the portion. The pancakes were a hit with the little one. The oldest enjoy a burger. He wanted me to talk you: UPGRADE TO THE TUFFLE FRIES. Kevin enjoy the salmon bennies. I had the steak and eggs which was delicious and cooked to perfection. Both the restaurant and the waiter are going to be an annual tradition.

    We tried 6 dishes plus dessert (pavlova) and everything tasted great. The service was also great, never had to ask for a water refill, very attentive. The music was a little loud, but not terrible. Will definitely go back!
