Our table was ready for us at the reserved time. Excellent service, all of the food brought to our table was appealing in presentation, at the right temperature, and very tasty. The manager (owner?) was very interested in our satisfaction with our experience. This was my first visit, and I will definitely be back.

Met up for a girls brunch and had soooo much fun. We started with a pitcher of mimosas and it didn’t disappoint. From there we ordered a lit bit of everything and shared. The beignets were with berry compote yummy, apple pie French toast, wings, and a traditional breakfast platter. All really good. Our server John was great as we were catching up.

We love our Eden December brunches with Santa and the beautiful holiday decor. The food was especially good this year. Seafood bisque, sausage, and eggs benedict are always favorites; the salmon teriyaki was great, and the carving station beef was so much better than usual. The desert selections never disappoint and there are so very many options. Service was excellent...a major improvement since our last experience on Mother's day. Thank you chefs and staff for the wonderful food and service!!
