    I took my Mom to the Mother’s Day brunch and it was excellent. Food was fresh and delicious, our server was excellent and the live music was just loud enough to provide a lovely ambiance. They used to do buffet style but they changed it to a brunch menu with unlimited portions. I loved this approach because most of the food was prepared fresh and it didn’t feel overwhelming like a buffet. Also, I appreciated that this approach would reduce food wastage. This was a fantastic experience and we will be back next Mother’s Day!
