I never leave reviews but I would like to save anyone else from having the same bad experience we had. We went on a Sunday morning for brunch. No one was at the front to seat us, we finally flagged down a server and they told us to take a table. We waited a good 10 minutes for someone to come, we waited another 5 minutes for water. My husband had to ask for ice 4 times before she brought it. Right as we got our food, a guy on a guitar started playing, which initially we were excited about. It was worse than a bad karaoke bar...he could not sing and it was turned so loud, we could not talk. My son and I had very greasy food, my husband's was a little better. Mimosas were made with syrup, told to us my the waitress. No juice at all. As we were leaving the owner was at the front and my husband said politely that the guy couldn't sing and it wasn't enjoyable and he asked my husband if he could sing?? It is a beautiful setting, but everything else was a total disaster. Worst restaurant I have been to in a long time.

We had an incredible meal here out on the patio. I ordered the pork chop and it was done perfectly! It was juicy and delicious. The veggies and yuka mash had the best flavors. We paired dinner with a bottle of Justin and had carrot cake that was divine! Tiffany told us it was the family recipe and was so light compared to the typical heaviness that carrot cake is. It was a perfect evening! Thank you Tiffany - you were the best!
