We're locals so we've been here before and know they are better than today. This place is famous for their Sunday Brunch muffins, which were small and flat today. Portion sizes were smaller than usual. The service was slow. Our waiter had laryngitis and could not talk. There seemed to be some confusion overall. The manager was defensive and uninterested...

We met our GrandDaughter, a UNC-Charlotte senior, for lunch during the Christmas holiday. The food was good as was the service. The menu for lunch was unexceptional. Nevertheless, we enjoyed ourselves and never felt rushed to finish our meal. We plan to return. This is a good place to relax and enjoy. More

We used a coupon and the service was nothing to brag about - worthy of a 15% tip. But she brought the bill and she had added a 20% tip. I asked for the manager and he did not express any concern or interest. I told him that I did not like being ripped off and would not be back.... More
