We came for the Sunday brunch menu. I was excited to try the eggs Benedict with crab cake (most expensive item on the menu). Sadly it was a disappointment the breading on crab cake was over powering and taste nothing like actual crab. The hollandaise sauce lacked any flavor and the potato patty underneath wasn't any good. My husband shared his French toast dish, which helped but it lacked flavor as well. Overall, the service was good but it couldn’t make up for lackluster flavor of our brunch dishes .

My daughter and I had brunch. I had the Green Goddess omelette which was excellent!!!! perfectly done with all my favorite green veggies! My daughter had California Grilled Cheese which was wonderfully cheesy and decadent. We truly enjoyed our meals and the friendly attentive service. I hope they expand their hours.

This was a pop-up experience meal that was put on by the Pond House as a 3 course meal. There were unexpected extras of appetizers and entrees. Some were a few extra dollars. Service was very good and not rushed. The food was excellent and portions were substantial. We haven't been there in a long time and missed it greatly!! The Pond House is a local landmark and quality restaurant we'd be happy to return to more.

I'd go back. The food and drinks were good even though the portions were small. I vegan options were very tasty and much appreciated. The service was pretty good but I would have ordered another drink if our server came back to ask. It was busy though.

This was an exceptionally delicious meal. Valentine's Day and our anniversary justified the extra expense and the calories. And well worth it! Special appetizers were outstanding as were the entrees. Our server was on point and had a good personality. We orders Halibut and Lamb chops as our entrees and were not disappointed.

I rated our service as poor. First we had to wait 10-15 min to be seated for our reserved table, then after waiting at least another 10-15 min we had to ask someone for our server. The food was good to very good, but the poor service kept it from being a perfect brunch experience. It should be noted the the restaurant was not filled-there were several empty tables.

Went to a pop up dinner and the food was amazing and greatly portioned for the pre-fix menu. Probably some of the best fish I've had in a while and I'll be on the lookout for next time they do this. They also do brunches on the weekends so looking forward to trying that.
