    I was very happy with the level of service we were provided. I was celebrating my Mother’s 75th birthday and our waitress as well as the hostess did a great job making my mother feel important. When we seated the hostess offer to take coat check our coats so we could feel comfortable while we sat and dined. Our waitress had a great sense of humor and was very accommodating with our special dietary restrictions. I really enjoyed our time dining at this restaurant and will come back and dine again.

    We've been away for a few weeks, but this morning we returned to Epoch, our favorite Sunday brunch spot. Food was excellent. Generous portions. Staffers greeted us with familiar warmth. An incomparable Sunday morning experience!
