            Service was quite good, Patty was our server and she was very welcoming. Food and Ambience was quite good, the place was underrated and definitely needs more attention. Worth trying

            The food was good. No complaints. The card on the table clearly states drip coffee and tea anre included with brunch on Sunday. When our waiter arrived, we asked which teas were included and he named about 6 different ones. On our bill we were charged for our 3 teas. When we asked why, he said the card was actually wrong and they are charging for coffee and tea while they are under renovation. Not sure what one has to do with the other. Not sure why he lied that 6 different teas were included and then charged us for tea. We felt this was rather shady and won’t return.

            Called in to inquire foe special seating. Although they do not do reservation they did congratulate us on our anniversary. The seating could have been better as an area where there are larger groups. All in all a good place to come to . As well they did reach out to advise the day prior of the ongoing renovation and makes as aware what was not available while the renovations where taking place .

            We’ve been before so we know what to expect. A good variety of food choices. Food was good. Service was excellent. The only criticism is the dessert table. Perhaps more custom and less grocery store taste. 😀

            Checked out Hot House (which is my mom's regular brunch spot) for Winterlicious for dinner with a friend on a Wednesday evening. Margarita night. The Winterlicious menu was fabulous (I'm a vegetarian), but we also ordered Bruschetta off the regular menu, which was divine. Our server was lovely, and prompt, but never made us feel rushed. The Kitchen was kind enough to make an exception and let me order an additional Veggie Wellington to take home at the end of the evening. After looking at the regular menu and taking into account my Winterliciious experience, even with some unsightly construction curtains, I would definitely come back again either to try weekend Brunch or for Dinner.

            Christopher was really nice to us. He even took the time to let us know how long our meal would be to deliver to us.
