   Sitting on the veranda on a beautiful SO CAL day! Service was friendly, prompt, and courteous! I love the fruit and vegetable plate as a courtesy starter. My french toast with potatoes was delicious!

   Beautiful view. Service needs a lot of work. Salad came out after entrée, no refills on water or coffee and some sides were forgotten and brought out after meal was done.

   The food this time around was good but not the best we have had it on previous occasions. I feel like I’ve had better omelettes for the price of $17. The strawberry pancakes were the best dish we had. French toast was good but the mascarpone cheese was a bit rich for my daughter. The service was very slow. Our waitress didn’t come out once to see how our food was or if we needed anything. The only time I saw her was to ask for boxes for food leftovers and a check. She took forever to even get the boxes and check. We waited about 10-15 min between each. I was sadly disappointed this time around, but will give it another shot. You can’t beat the views, definitely recommend a walk around the pond and into their lovely garden which has a pretty path with waterfalls and flowers, and plants.

   Always an excellent experience when we have lunch or brunch at the veranda. Service is so friendly and attentive. The concierge is always so friendly and pleasant. The grounds are beautiful and it’s just a very serene and relaxing experience.

    Perfect setting! This place would be amazing with an espresso machine. Everyone got something different and we all loved our meal! The service was not what we expected as our server never came to check on us or refill our waters/drinks etc. but the ambiance was lovely. Recommend!
