We went for the Christmas buffet. Our server seated us at a booth in the bar next to a foosball table, which has been used almost the entire time we were there. That was very annoying, but the host told us it was the only table available despite there being other open tables. The buffet itself was not very good.
We had a great time at this place and would definitely go back. The service was lovely (we loved Anastasia!) and the food was solid, if not exceptional. This is a great spot if you are looking for straightforward brunch, great service, and homey vibes.
Our group of four had a pre-concert dinner where the food was very good and the waiter and other staff gave us excellent service.
The Thanksgiving buffet was just adequate. The turkey was not good. Veggies just ok. Bread was standard Parkerhouse rolls. Mashed potatoes good. Desert offerings inadequate. Soup the best of all offerings.
This is my second time coming here for the Thanksgiving buffet, and they never disappoint. The turkey is delicious—juicy and full of flavor. All the food is excellent, you can really taste the quality in every dish. The atmosphere is great too, cozy and welcoming, perfect for enjoying this special day. I'll definitely be coming back next year!
This is becoming a neighborhood favorite. I've been there for brunch (the wild mushroom toast and chocolate chip pancakes are amazing), lunch (tasty tomato soup and loved the salad I had, also delicious fries), and now Thanksgiving dinner. This meal was as perfect as any I've had at a restaurant for Thanksgiving. I don't know what the secret behind that cranberry sauce is, but it's the best I've had. My only disappointment was no pecan pie...my favorite. But the pumpkin pie was delicious. I don't know how, but the noise level is minimal. Full of people but never the crazy noise levels I'm used to. It was great. Good cocktails too! We'll be back lots.
Overall, the experience was a positive one. The Thanksgiving buffet was somewhat limited on selection, but the quality was really good and food was much better than places we've eaten for Thanksgiving in the past. The salmon was a miss though, it was dry and overcooked. Desserts were very limited too. I would consider going back to try their normal menu.
Attended the wedding of a few friends in their upstairs room which was really well appointed.

Staff tries hard but food is really mediocre. The lighting and decor makes the restaurant feel like a hotel dinner. Its fine for breakfast and lunch but not worth it for dinner.
Anastasia was amazing! Delicious breakfast and fast service. Will be back!

The place was almost empty on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Telling. The main annoyance was there were multiple flies that would not leave our table! I mentioned on the way out and the hostess said yes they have a problem. Well, fix it! It's ridiculous to be expected to put up with it. I will never go back.
Nice quiet weeknight restuarant with nice views outside. The food is average. Eat here for the atmposphere but not the food.

Service extremely slow - 45 minutes to get our dinner. Server did comp us a glass of wine. Food was average and folks working there seem dispirited. The owners need to pay more attention and improve this place at this terrific location.
