We had a great time. It was my birthday our server, Anna was absolutely great, she made us feel right at home with her professionalism and expertise; and the fact that she has been a server there for over 40 years was just amazing. On a scale from one to 10 I will give them a 10, if you wanna place to impress your guest and eat some good food go to the Sundail restaurant.

We had an outstanding brunch at By George! From the excellent service to the delicious food, every part of our visit was a pleasure. The ambiance was wonderful, and the building’s stunning architecture made the experience feel extra special. It’s the kind of place where you want to linger, enjoy your meal, and take in the beautiful surroundings. Highly recommend—we look forward to returning!

I booked my reservation at lazy Betty expecting wonderful food and service of a Michelin star restaurant. What I found far exceeded any thing I could expect. The elegance and complexity of each dish was astounding. When something was more simple they didn’t try and deliver it with unnecessary drama but instead with a recipe that reminded me of simple home cooking even though it was so much more. Every dish was phenomenal and elevated what was sure to be an already fantastic meal and made it into a stellar one. The truffle risotto and the Alaskan halibut were the two stand outs for me mainly because of the story told with the risotto and the taste of the Alaskan halibut. I had the non-alcoholic pairing and every drink was a perfect match for the dish. And finally Bryan did a fantastic job making the night special with his perfect descriptions of the dishes and all staying on top of service. The general manager has got to be proud of such a stellar crew and a kitchen who has earned their claim to fame

Whiskey Bird provides a consistently excellent brunch experience. The food is always wonderful (I'll say it again - get the fried chicken burrito and ask for a side of Texas Pete) and the servers are welcoming and helpful. We'll keep coming back!
