We had lunch reservations for Easter Sunday brunch - probably not the best choice to try a place for the first time.

We were seated 25 minutes after our reservation time. The place was so crowded, the (very) elderly couple we were with didn't want to sit at the bar to wait (no seating if they did want to sit) and the other options were nonimal.

The food was mediocre, with the majority being 'warm'. The only exception was the mashed potatoes - they were fabulous! The serving line offerings were constantly being refreshed so there was no shortage of food. A wide presentation of desserts was offered but the ones I tried came up short (note - I am a professional pastry chef so take it for what it is worth).

The highlight of this visit was the wait staff - they were friendly, attentive and personable. It didn't matter if the food was just above edible, they made up for it.
