    Always excellent food and service. This has been my "go to" place for business lunches for years, but I've also enjoyed some memorable (and delicious) family celebrations down through the years here.

    Although the food was good, I didn’t realize it was “- set, serve yourself ,” brunch food only. I’ve eaten here before enjoying excellent food and service, however, although the restaurant was not crowded, it took 15ish mins for the server to come to our table, granted she only had to serve drinks, no food, and never came back to check on us. I had to flag her down for another drink, and we were left w/empty water glasses, until the server came back with the bill.

    Everything was great! Our server - Austin was attentive and informative. Due to an accident on 495 part of our party of 8 was delayed. Unlike a recent experience at a chain restaurant where everyone had to be present, we were immediately seated. We didn't feel rushed. The food was very good. The menu very flexible and included a prix fixe option. The design of the restaurant is conducive to virtually private dining. The desserts were large and my carrot cake was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    The food was good, and the wsiter was great , but the dinner menu is lacking. The salads don't offer anything interesting, and there is only one hand-held entree. For those with smaller appetites who don't want steak, the options are minimal. The lunch menu offers more choices for those with smaller appetites.

    Excellent meal and our server, Jennesis, was very attentive and lovely to interact with. She was very helpful with several special asks we made and the overall experience was relaxing and very good. The only downside is the noice level can be very loud, but the good food and service overcame it all. Looking forward to going back.
