    Food flavors and presentations were great. Service was friendly and attentive. Sitting outside on the 3rd floor deck just added to an excellent experience.

    due to good reviews we decided to try maggies. unfortunately the food turned out to be mediocre. we had steak and eggs and a biscuit and decaf coffee. the coffee did not have a good flavor and was watery. the steak had some flavor but not too much and was kind of dry. the chimichurri sauce on it was so bland you could almost not taste it. the home cooked potatoes were good, nice and crispy but they only gave us a few. we ordered the eggs over way and they were okay but nothing special. the biscuit had no flavor and was too doughy. however, the service was excellent, everybody was smiling and had a good attitude. too bad the food didn't measure up.

    Booked this brunch for Mother's Day. Great food and cocktails. I had the steak and eggs. The French toast folks were having looked exceptional. The service was extremely good. My mother-in-law lives in SLT and had never been there. Can't stop talking about how wonderful it was.

    We celebrated an anniversary and a birthday. The food was amazing. Our server was knowledgeable and very friendly. Would not hesitate to return on a future visit. We were visiting the area from the Midwest.

    It’s off-season so they only had one waiter on staff and he was hustling but still do not get the same service. I was just trying to check out and get home to let my dogs out and I was waiting 30 minutes for my check.
