    Delicious food made from scratch - love it! The brunch has tons of options - there are even single dishes that are part of the buffet that you can order to the table - for example - I had a very yummy chia seed pudding with fresh peanut butter and berries. No-el did an awesome job as our professional customer service ambassador!

    This was only my 2nd visit, but my wife has been 4 times. We dined there for Valentine’s Day. It was full, but everything was running smoothly. We liked everything! We got the bread basket, tuna tartare/cucumber appetizer and the arugula salad with butternut squash. All were excellent! The amount of dressing was perfect and let the tastes of the squash, pomegranate and other yummy bits come through! We both had the Moist Brisket entrees with 4 different sides. Everything was good. At first I thought the brisket was too salty, but realized it was licking up the juice from the pickles cucumber and onion garnish. Separately, they were great, but the saltiness detracted the flavor of my first piece of brisket. The rest were not affected. We were stuffed and brought most of the sides home. I’d also add that the Arnold Palmer I ordered was also excellent and had an impressive presentation and clearly separate portions of tea and lemonade.
