    Even though it was Mother's Day we were greeted and sat within 5 minutes of arrival. The restaurant was packed and sold out for most of the day so that was an impressive start. Our waitress came to our table within 5 minutes of us sitting down. Went over the brunch menu and took our drink orders (mimosa and sangrias included in brunch which is a huge plus). The steak had to be ordered from the waitress so it could be cooked to your desire. I have to say it was excellent. The knife was cutting it like butter and the taste was superb. Temperature was perfect. Everything I ate was great. went through the buffet line twice and never was there an empty platter. Overall we thought the brunch menu and pricing was a bargain and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a Sunday brunch.
