    Went for the brunch. Excellent. Large variety of food choices. Everything was fresh and constantly replenished. Our server, Kristin, was pleasant and on top of everything. The only thing we would have preferred some of the food to be hotter, but overall it was delicious. Would definitely recommend and we will be back. You should definitely try it.

    The food was pretty good. Some hot dishes were lukewarm warm or cold. Pastries and food variety was great. The floor felt greasy and slippery when going through the restaurant. Server was in good spirits. Good not great experience.

    Although we had to wait a little bit for our table to be ready, even though we had a reservation, the both they put us in was wonderful and unique. The food was delicious especially the bread pudding for dessert. You don’t wanna miss that!

    Food was mediocre, thus very overpriced. Had to ask for various missing silverware. Waitress and service was not up to par. Waitress not attentive. Servers obviously inexperienced. Food portions not generous versus the cost. Underwhelming experience. Disappointed. Just not worth it.

    We love this restaurant and usually go early during Happy Hour. If the weather is favorable we like to sit outside on the lakeside. They always have good food and service. They have fun cocktails and good food.
