    The food was excellent and the mimosas were bottomless... what's not to like? :-) I loved the CG Benedict - two poached eggs on cheesy biscuits with thick, candied bacon. I usually don't like thick slab bacon, but this was outstanding! I also highly recommend the donuts. *swoon* Although the dining room was pretty full, it wasn't noisy and the tables were far enough apart to allow for conversation without broadcasting to everyone around you. The staff were helpful and friendly which made it a relaxed and fun event. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will definitely be back. It was a great way to start the new year!

    Amazing. The taste was wonderful, every dish was very good. The wine also is so good. Cocktails are good, but not amazing, presentation of cocktails is quite normal. But the food, attention and wine was so good. I definitely recommend it. The taste the Christmas menu and was so good. And the pasta with cheese for my little one also wonderful
