The brunch in general was mediocre. Overcharge for beverages. The service was awful--perky waitress but not attentive to anything. We had to ask for everything--including refills for coffee. The only place I know that automoatically charges 20% for parties of 5. We went there for a birthday and they brought out the pastry w/unlit candles since they said they would otherwise go out. The ambiance for brunch was sparce and lifeless-no music, etc. Felt like a ripoff.
