    We love this place for brunch! We were greeted warmly by all of the staff; even the piano player smiled at us as we sat down. Great food, good service.

    We come here 6-8 times a year. I’m a sucker for the lamb chops if they are cooked medium rare. My wife usually orders the filet mignon or ribeye. Our Waitress Aubrey who was one we haven’t seen yet did a fantastic job. It’s nice that our past waitresses and hostess/ Manager stop over to say hi and to see how our dining experience is going.
