Honestly, the best brunch I’ve ever had by far. Everything was so nutritious and well prepared. Plus, the restaurant is located in an early twentieth century mansion, which gives you the impression to be back in slower times.

Went for lunch and it was fantastic. Had deviled eggs and shrimp and grits for apps. Then had crab cakes and side of seafood crepes for dinner. EXCELLENT!!
Decor is very vintage...but it doesn't take away from the food and the service was good. I appreciate a team that stays on top of drink refills...always a bonus!!

I struggled with the rating for this restaurant. Cute, quaint, cozy. Interesting menu, good variety. I ordered the seafood Alfredo. It was ok, but not over the top. A friend of mine ordered the lamb. She reported that it was flavorless and rubbery. We agreed that we would go back just to see if we would have the same experience. I love supporting local businesses and allow them the grace of having an off day.

I googled to find a restaurant near the area I was in. One of the places that came up was Grand Finale, in Glendale. I remembered a co-worker telling me about this place being nice and the food being good. Since it was only 2 miles away, I called to see if we could get in and it was a go. The restaurant was located on the corner and I almost passed by seeing the name etched on the window. The parking lot was small and little tight, filled w/ cars. I don’t know if they share the lot with another business because when I walked in, it didn’t appear as though a lot of people were in there. To my surprise, the place is a lot bigger on the inside than on the outside because I kept walking back and started seeing more and more people. I can only describe it as being quaint w/ the exposed brick walls, artwork, and empty bird cages. There were a lot of good sounding meals to choose from along with many variations on crepes. Homebaked bread was brought to the table. I didn’t partake but was told it was warm and soft. We all got their house salad with avocado dressing. They make all their dressings in house. Although the dressing was good, it could have been a little stronger in flavor. Companion One chose the rack of lamb w/ mango chutney with the side being a spinach and cheese crepe. The crepe was enjoyed but it was felt the lamb itself was lacking in flavor and little too tough. Perhaps it needed to be medium instead of medium-well. The mango chutney was good as well as the lemon drop martini. Companion Two ordered the scallop, shrimp, and lobster linguini. It was tossed in a parmesan sauce with red and yellow bell peppers. Companion Two couldn’t find the lobster and requested extra parmesan. I also ordered the linguini dish. I appeared to have more cheese than Companion Two and I had a whole lobster claw. I found the linguini to be good with a nice amount of seafood. However, we both felt there could have been another dimension to the pasta dish. Perhaps a few capers or maybe sun-dried tomato. I also had the pomegranate margarita which was good though it was served straight up in a martini glass. Is it still a margarita or would it just be a martini? Hmmmm. The waiter mentioned that they are known for their desserts. I could see why judging from what another table ordered, some sort of puffed pastry and ice cream dessert-enough to be shared. Most of their desserts involved ice cream so I when with the limelight pie since I was taking it to go. For the price ($8.50) it could have been a bigger slice, but it was good. Nice and tart with a crunch from the hazelnut crust.
Bottom line for me: I enjoyed my meal and the atmosphere. I would go back at some point and try something else.
Limited menu, lots of fish options, not usual salad dressings. It was quite different from other restaurants. Beautiful building. Large deserts for a good price.

They just announced they are closing permanently after 46 years and I'm holding a $100 gift certificate. What now?
Amazing place. Wish it would reopen.
