This has always been my favorite spot for brunch. Unfortunately they have raised the prices by quite a bit and the quality is down. Service was as excellent as ever.

We made reservations for this restaurant after church on a Sunday and we were celebrating brunch. It was very noisy when we first got there, but everyone seemed happy and it wasn’t overwhelming. We noticed immediately that the former brunch menu was no longer and they had a smaller menu. However, it was adequate and tasty. Service was excellent. I would recommend the food and the restaurant.

Mr. D's is a restaurant where the price tag far outweighs the experience. While the bartender was friendly and attentive, the overall atmosphere felt cold and impersonal. The food, mediocre and extremely bland, was the most disappointing aspect. The high prices simply don't justify the quality of the dishes. If you're looking for a place to spend a significant amount of money, there are far better options available.
