    It was Eastern Sunday and I made our reservation at 11:15. When we arrived my wife was told they couldn’t find the reservation but could seat us in the bar area in about 15 minutes. My wife went back with the reservation on my phone and they seated us right away however…it was in the bar area at a table meant for 2 but we were a party of three. With the buffet in the main dining area we had to pass through the crowded bar each trip which was tight. I was surprised the champagne and mimosas were included but not the coffee we wanted with our desserts. Overall, great service made up for the reservation mixup and bad seating.

    The Sunday brunch is a great value at $28! Selection is extensive with fruit, meats (roast beef, ham, burnt ends) and dessert delivered to your table. There is also endless juice, champagne and mimosas. The Eggs Benedict were perfectly prepared. All the pasta offerings were good--hey it's an Italian restaurant! There were enough lunch items to make it a brunch.

    The food and service was great. Love the old school feel where the owner goes around to all the tables to talk to the guests. Why don't more restaurants do that anymore? What a great way to add a personal touch and learn about how your team is doing!
