Always a great choice for dinner (or lunch). We've never had a bad meal or experience here. Everything--food, staff, service, ambience--is outstanding. Prices have ticked up, but that's happening everywhere.

My son took his 85-year-old mother (me) out for new year's day brunch. Enjoyable ambience, great service. The buffet was interesting, but not too fresh, as we came late: B+. Courtney, who waited on us, as well as being very kind and efficient, was lovely, and had a delightful sense of humor: A+. We would certainly go there again.
