    Sunday brunch was a mixed result. My fried eggs were undercooked, the hash browns were cold, and I had to ask for butter for my English muffin. On the other hand, my date thoroughly enjoyed her meal.

    We took our grandchildren for dinner on Saturday night. The restaurant was filled with standing room only. We were seated shortly after our reservation time. Unfortunately, the restaurant did not have sufficient wait staff for a full house. As a result, there were noticeable gaps in service. Our waitress was friendly but clearly pressed. Fortunately, we had previewed the menu before we were seated and were able to place our dinner order along with our drink order. The food was well-prepared and tasty.
