    Phil G was our server for Easter Sunday brunch with my family, and he provided exceptional service. As expected on a holiday, the restaurant was quite busy, but Phil remained attentive and accommodating throughout our visit. He was especially mindful of dietary restrictions, prioritizing safety for a member of our party with celiac disease. He explained that the restaurant takes significant precautions to avoid cross-contamination, including having a manager personally deliver gluten-free dishes. We enjoyed a variety of dishes—Oysters, Tuna Poke Bowl, Crab Special, Steak Bowls, and Blueberry Pancakes—and everything was absolutely delicious.

    I ordered a gluten-free dinner, the salmon, rice and asparagus, and I had a reaction afterwards. I’m thinking that the sauce might’ve had gluten in it. There was a family with children that made a mess and the floor was never tidied up. The guy that came to clean the table just squirted cleaner on top of the crumbs and smeared it around. Our server was not attentive. I had to go find another server to tell our server that we are ready for our check after waiting 30 extra minutes.

    Came here for the Easter Brunch. The adults and children all enjoyed themselves. The Easter bunny experience is great! The children were very happy and excited to see the friendly bunny. My only complaint is that the restaurant puts the photographer in a bad lighting spot for the camera. The restaurant should put the photographer in an area that has a better lighting and better space.

    a change in the menu got the cooks confused and my side dishes didnt come out. But once I mentioned it to waitress I got my side order. Then the manager came over to apologize and took the price of the meal off and gave me a free dessert. This is going above and beyond. I just wanted my rice and beans. All the food was delicious.
