We had drinks and Sunday Brunch on their outside deck. Th brunch drink menu is primarily juice or coffee flavored combinations and they are perfect for an alcoholic drink at 10:30 on Sunday morning. The brunch food items are bigger than you might expect and they were very well done and tasty. The service is always excellent. If you are visiting soon you may still be able to pick up a bottle of their Octoberfest Whiskey.
