    My husband and I had Christmas Day breakfast there as it was included as a special for staying the night at the Langham. Customer service was outstanding as everyone was attentive and courteous. The food was good and hit the spot for breakfast. I did wish there was more combination plates so that the items I wanted didn't need to be added. There was an all you can eat brunch option but I was afraid I couldn't eat that much and it wasn't worth the $59 for me. Very much a family atmosphere in the restaurant which was fine. The view of the hotel and pool was nice and the restaurant was beautiful as everything at the Langham was just amazing. We would definitely come back to have a nice meal.

    Fourth time coming here, it was my best friends birthday so we were celebrating! Waited a little over 10 mins for someone to help our table, ordered flights and appetizers which was overall excellent! Deviled eggs and spinach artichoke dip is always a must here. I personally had the southern fried chicken with brisket and it was delicious! Got my cream corn and Mac n cheese for my sides and they never disappoint. Ordered a cornbread to go but it was a little dry :( , our waitress was the best and they even gave us a cornbread as complimentary for attending us late. Thank you , we’ll be back!

    Delicious, stupendous, fun-filled evening with convivial personalities always attending to our needs. Owner Kari is delightful and you will have the warmest hospitality warm welcoming while noshing on the most delicious choice of grub!! No slacking here; food is beautifully prepared by co-owner Kevin with farm fresh to table delights, whatever is in season and at its peak of freshness. Hubby and I so highly recommend and we don't say that lightly- we aren't always the easiest to please with all our fussy requests. None ever needed here as we will take each and every dish just as Kevin prepares it. Hoping they can host our daughter & future son-in-laws reception!! Can't imagine on giving their guests anything short of delightful and scrumptious selections!! Check schedule as they often are hosting weddings, parties, and such with no wonder why!!
