    First time here and loved it. Food was excellent, atmosphere was bright and lively. Mr Stern made a point of coming around to each table to see how we were doing. Honored our reservation on time. Loved the little touch of putting a tiny light in each drink to make them glow. Brunch menu had a wonderful assortment to choose from. Only down side…slightly pricey for the amount of food you get. But I do understand food prices are out of control. And it was noisy, we sat next to a birthday party of ladies that certainly enjoyed themselves. Not the restaurants fault, just made it difficult to carry on a conversation. We would definitely return.

    It was our first time there. We were in the area trying to buy a sectional for my wife. We have been separated since the end of December and I never, in 5 years of marriage, took my wife to a restaurant of this caliber. Although it was pricier than I’m used to it was worth treating my wife to your fine establishment. The food was above expectations and the service was superb. I felt like it brought the best out of me. So, thank you for the wonderful experience. God bless!
