                                                          The service, while pleasant, was painfully slow. Tea came out just warm(they did remedy this) and one meal was also not hot. But, they did compensate us as we were not willing to wait longer for a hot meal. Overall it was very nice

                                                          Sunday brunch was unhurried and pleasant. The door was delicious.

                                                          We had a lovely waitress. She was informative, I forget her name, a lady 50-60ish. Food was well prepared and tasty.

                                                          The surf and turf with Japanese scallops and wagyu was divine. Probably the best scallops I've ever had. The hearts desire oysters with homemade balsamic pearls were a burst of flavor. The el diablo cocktail delicious. The server we had was wonderful and accommodating. All in all it was our 2nd time there and will continue coming back!
