                                                    We had a very enjoyable meal here tonight. We had a table with a view of the waterfall. Prime Rib was a delicious special entree. The restaurant was very busy.

                                                    Great brunch deal and decent food. Issue was the service and us having to ask four times for them to turn the heaters off. I'm not exaggerating when I'm telling you I had to take my sweater vest off and just wear a black undershirt to be able to stay there.

                                                    My family and I went to dinner and had a great experience. Service was top notch and everything we had was prepared as requested. Highly recommended!

                                                    My wife and I went to brunch to celebrate her birthday. We were seated next to the fireplace which provided a pleasant ambiance. The brunch included a pastry and coffee before the main course which included choice of mixed drink ( we chose a mimosa). We also had several choices for desert. The apple strudel was delicious.
