Sunday brunch did not disappoint. The server was engaging and not stingy with the mimosas. For a buffet brunch the food was great quality. The restaurant was clean and well taken care of.

I have to say, my faith in this location has been restored! I reserved a table for our annual ladies ornament exchange. We were served by your waitress, Laura. She was very attentive, sweet, accurate and quick with our orders. I’m honestly impressed. She made us feel like we were the only table she was serving. Mind you, this was on a Sunday afternoon during brunch. Thank you so much Laura for your amazing customer service! Because of you we will certainly be back! And quite possibly for our 2025 exchange!

This is our second time enjoying this brunch. The food is excellent, big variety of everything, Mexican, Italian, seafood, desserts, American. I wish they had a salad bar with more choices. The ambience was fantastic. Big part of it was the live band playing. Bossa Linda set the place on fire with their music. Service was excellent, we had Alejandra as our server and she was very attentive. Overall , great experience. Maybe they should have a dress code to make it more elegant. Some people were dressed very nicely with long dress and tights and others were in shorts and flip flops, not for the queen mary . Especially if you are paying $120 plus tip per person.
