“Our first visit was their Easter brunch and were we so pleased!!! The food was outstanding!!! Short ribs were the best I’ve ever had. The butternut squash raviolis were delicious, the prime rib and omelette stations were so good too. The dessert bar had sooooo much to choose from and we really enjoyed it.
