"Came here for their soft opening and took my mother here for her birthday dinner. The location is gorgeous, they definitely did some great renovations with the place. They are a sister company of Cheesecake Factory, so there are a lot of similarities. The food portion is giant and you will definitely not be able to finish it all. You can share them most of time. They also have an extensive and diverse menu as well. They also do not take reservations, but the restaurant is pretty large and has a good amount of seating, inside and outside. I really love the chicken and waffles for brunch it's massive portions but also delicious. I would recommend that. The Pot Roast Cheese fries are a lot and the meat is tender, but my favorite would be the double stuffed potato spring rolls, it's like mashed potatoes in eggroll form. They are super good and probably not healthy for you, but worth a try. I wasn't too much of a fan of the french dip sandwich however. Their pastas are good and the fish and chips are good as well. The salad is too much for one person, I also wasn't too much of a fan of the southwestern salad, too much going on not much salad. The dessert is where it's at, the strawberry shortcake is amazing, and so is the butter cake. I would completely just come back for dessert. I enjoy the appetizers and the desserts the most each time. I haven't quite found a lunch/dinner entree that is parallel to the other foods."

"I have here on a Sunday afternoon in Feb. Although everyone was not completely satisfied with his meals, we had a great time, and all 9 went home feel good. Why? It was because of our server that was excellent, and she went out of her way to close with only one hour to pick us up. The kitchen was perhaps in the shut-off mode, which was waiting for the Entrees a little long, and some articles were not available. Our nice server made the best of the situation. We had starters buffalo wings, crabs and mac cheese with braided beef. The first 2 were great, but the divers for the crab dive were too few for our big group, so we asked our server for some chips. She has graciously followed us to bring the best old bay chips with or without diving. I didn't taste the mac mix bc it sounded strange. Three out of four who tried it didn't like it. It is great to go with a large group so you can try new things and share appetizers without filling too much before your actual meal. Most of our entrees were very good after others in the group. Two people who ordered burgers (photo below were very happy, and the sweet potato fries tasted, I can say they were delicious. The crab cake was a generous size and I did not hear any complaint from, without doubt, the best cook at the table. The children's dishes looked good, and there were no complaints from the 2 picky eaters. Two of us ordered chickens Curry (see the photo below). Big mistake like ordering Fessant Au glass in a seafood restaurant or pork ribs in a Japanese steak house. Nevertheless, the chicken was tender and the broccoli was good. Only the sauce was missing, hey, but what's in a name? If I never had REAL Curry Chicken, I wouldn't have been disappointed, would I? One person had steak who looked very good, but, was reportedly cooked. Nevertheless, when presentation and appearance are excellent, this dish and all others deserve an A. Desserts were all delicious and cheap from pecan pie to ice sunflowers, and not to forget the delicious cheesecake. Most of us agreed to come back, maybe for brunch or Sunday dinner, but a bit earlier next time. (It seems that people have seen the photo I have taken from the tables and chairs (over 18,000 times). So go out and fill the seats, not you!"
