   Youthful, bright, happy light-filled barn that caters to all ages and stages. Very congenial staff and exceptionally friendly management. Food could not be better. Healthy, interesting, hearty, and delicious - this menu suits meat eaters and vegetarians alike. Gluten free options and all allergies taken seriously. This is a lively , lovely, delectable hangout that we return to week after week. Great Food !!!!

   Overall, I would not recommend going to the brunch for $50/person. The value is okay if you order two alcoholic drinks and can eat a LOT but most of us (table of 9) probably did not eat $50 worth of food and we’re all 25-30 range. The food itself was hit or miss. The buffet options were all quite good but almost all the a la carte options came out cold and many were mediocre in taste (the beet salad was bitter and rather tasteless). As for the service and general experience, this is where they really lost us. I would have rated a 4/5 overall if not for how rude and inattentive our server was. The whole table noticed it. The server never told us her name, never explained how the brunch worked, and eventually we just got up ourselves to wander around and figure out the buffet. We were a 9:15 reservation (earliest you can get) and it still took well over 20 minutes for our whole table to get coffee. Only one person at the very beginning was asked if they wanted milk and sugar and then we had to keep calling someone over to bring it for others at the table or later on during the brunch. Our server did not come around very often, and was also noticeably rude with specific members of our table. No clue why. Biggest disappointment: when booking a reservation I was asked if I was celebrating anything and what. I said yes, two birthdays including one on the actual day. There were no acknowledgements of this (candles, a small discount, icecream). If you’re going for a birthday don’t expect anything special or you’ll be disappointed like us :( My last comments: They book reservations that overlap at the start/end minute. For example, ours ended at 11:15 and they had a table of 20 booked for 11:15 start. We were kind of finishing our drinks and chatting a bit but unfortunately had to leave at 11:17 on the dot lol. Just nice to know logistically beforehand. Also, the early bird reservation policy is strict. When they say WHOLE table seated before 9:30 they mean it.

   The food was great, the service was super & the value for what you got was perfect! I have eaten here before & had a similar experience which is why I invited my sister and niece to join me for lunch.

   Delicious food and excellent deal on the Monday ($12 small pizzas and $7 pints). The soup of the day was mushroom soup and that was very tasty.

    We were seated quickly and served right away. Our waitress was very inviting and informative about the menu. Food quality was good.
