    Delicious Easter Brunch and very professional and friendly waite staff. One disappointment is that PSI is no longer a BYOB because they have obtained a liquor license. They do offer a corkage fee but at $40 per bottle which is just too expensive for me.

    We had a wonderful experience celebrating our anniversary at PSI. From the moment we walked in, the service was top tier. The piano playing was beautiful. The food was fantastic and fresh. The garganelli was one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had. Thank you for making our anniversary special.
