    Enjoyed our Easter Brunch. There was an excellent variety of food options. We found that most dishes were not warm enough, yet they were still quite good. The service was friendly and efficient. As always, the water views from Isle of Capri were amazing. We would recommend this restaurant, especially to those visiting from out-of-town.
