The food was delicious, the service was wonderful, and everyone was attentive but not overly so. We celebrated our 52nd wedding anniversary there. When we arrived at our table it was laced with rose petals. Rachel, our server took our picture and we were given a petite cheesecake to share, which she put and lit a candle on. Very nice!

Excellent food and quite affordable brunch menu. We had the kids in tow and while they didn't have a kids' brunch menu, my kids loved "The Wethersfield" and "The Glastonbury." My only quibble would be to maybe create a kids' brunch menu because the portions are enormous; still, the prices were so reasonable that we didn't mind paying full price even if there was a bit of leftover food. A huge hit overall - we'll definitely be back!
