"Easter brunch was delicious and well staffed. All the waiters were very nice and attentive. The food was amaaaazziiinnnggg. 10/10 would recommend for any catering service or hall. The setting was beautiful and the music was very nice and light. The Easter bunny came around and took pictures with the kids and made multiple rounds with a candy basket.
