   Considering it was Easter brunch and busy, the restaurant staff was ready for action. We were seated promptly and the wait staff very pleasant. Lots of “managers” making sure all went smoothly. Large variety of fresh fruits and salads and seafood. Nice selection of hot entrees. No rice or mashed potatoes , one potato casserole dish, but all was tasty. Desserts better than most buffets and we shared samples of many choices. Will for sure go again next time Easter brunch is in the plans.

   We visited for Easter Brunch and, as expected, it was very busy, but the service was excellent, and the variety was impressive, featuring delicious prime rib, braised steak, lamb, potatoes, fish, and more, alongside a tempting dessert selection of sliced cakes, green tea mochi with red bean filling, donuts, cupcakes, cookies, macaroons, and soft serve ice cream, complemented by wonderful bottomless mimosas, sodas, and orange juice, resulting in a total bill of $194 that included an 18% mandatory service charge.

   have been to this Sunday brunch multiple times in the past. Always great food and never shortage any of the items. This is the first time that one of their best item ran out before closing. The prime rib has always been great especially for a buffet. However, on this visit, the prime rib ran out before 1 pm. Our reservation was 12:30pb for 7 people. Most of us didn't get any prime rib. Instead the restaurant brought out what they called grilled rib eye that was paper thin and claimed it was the same as prime rib. The meat may be the same, but prime rib is not grilled but roasted as a whole roast and sliced to order. As mentioned, been to this sunday brunch multiple times in the past and prime rib never ran out. I think the restaurant is trying to cut cost.

   Unfortunately, not worth $60/person. The eggs and bacon station didn't have heat so food was cold. Great service but not worth the price. I did se e that they were very much into refilling everyone's mimosas. So guess worth it if you drink that but we didn't and had to request coffee refills a couple of times.

   I love coming here with my husband & our friends to enjoy the seafood brunch! My husband & I don't brunch often, so it seems a bit pricey to us, but we also don't drink. A few of our friends do drink & they offer bottomless mimosas, so I can see that making up for it being a bit pricey. We will be back!

    Disappointed today. Expected Dungeness Crab but they used snow crabs today. The prime rib which is usually well prepared was served "blue". Overall quality of food was lower and the food was not quickly refreshed.
