The tuxedo sundae is outstanding and the star of the show. The filet mignon is another highlight. The atmosphere is beautiful and conducive to conversation. Servers are attentive, personable, and delightful. It is a perfect spot for a brunch with wonderful fresh cinnamon raisin muffins and lemon poppyseed scones. The hot brown is a great choice.
