We were told upon arrival that only the breakfast buffet was available. We were told no menu service was available although brunch and lunch menu is shown online from 11-2. We would have left but had limited time to find another restaurant. After our meal and as we were leaving, other diners were ordering off the menu and being served lunch offerings.

Items included: biscuits and gravy, real scrambled eggs, bacon, French toast, smoked salmon, various pastries, and fresh fruit. It was a nice variety. We were seated quickly and greeted immediately. Our bar order took a long time, but we were able to immediately access the buffet. The food was fresh and tasty. Not the most luxurious buffet I've ever seen, but enough to feel satisfied. The atmosphere is casual dining.
