I chose this restaurant again as I was so impressed with last year’s Christmas Brunch. I believe the menu was the same this year but my wife and I tried different items. We enjoyed our time again and will probably make it again next year. The cornmeal pancakes were delicious! I had a side of ham which left me wanting more! My wife had the Charmant Breakfast with sausage links. She was very pleased with the scrambled eggs, sausage links and GF toast. I couldn’t finish my corn meal pancakes so took the remainder home. I’m not as big of an eater as I once was. The two pancakes for me were quite filling.

Great views of the Christmas lights in the park behind the restaurant. Valet parking was a great option since there was no parking nearby that was open when we got to the restaurant. Was really turned off that they were serving free samples of THC marijuana drinks in the lobby and had them on their menu. Don’t know if we’ll be back.

We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your meal, the excellent service, and the beautiful views of the Christmas lights. We're also glad that the valet parking was a convenient option. We understand your concerns about the THC-infused beverages. Sensi, the local company offering these drinks, has an affiliation with the Weber family, which is why we proudly support them. We always strive to offer unique, locally sourced options to our guests. We appreciate your feedback and understand your perspective.

We actually had to ask manager for them when he asked us if we wanted dessert? unfortunately put a damper on our experience. The food was very good and would recommend it to friends.

We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the food and had a great time at the bar with the team after the concert. It's wonderful to know the bartenders and manager were able to provide excellent service that night. We sincerely apologize for the delay in your drink service during dinner. This is certainly not the level of service we strive for, and we’ll address this with our team to ensure we’re more attentive and efficient in the future. We truly appreciate your understanding and your thoughtful recommendation to friends. We’re looking forward to welcoming you back soon!
