We frequent this spot for lunch and dinner but the brunch is consistently poor and getting worse. This is our third and last time coming for brunch. There are limited to no other options in the area so it’s disappointing that Sunday brunch is an afterthought at an otherwise very good restaurant

Decided to try the Eggs in Purgatory. Great choice! I normally do the Gran Ma French Toast---which is pretty hard to not order every time. Great place to dine. This is not your dad's 19th hole. And great way to end it all is relaxing out back.

We have had much better meals here....recipes seemed to have been changed. Also my biscuit was not very fresh, was dry and hard like it had been sitting under a light for hours. Will definitely try again and hope that it was just a one time thing.

Steaks were fantastic and the heated salt block is a unique experience. The side dishes, risotto and Mac and cheese lobster were served cold and therefore were not great. Otherwise the flavors of both sides were good.
