    Went for the New Year’s Day Hip Hop DJ Brunch and it did not disappoint! Tried the housemade donuts (cranberry orange & espresso martini), and they lived up to the hype 100%! Seriously, if we weren’t so full, I would have taken a couple of the orange-cranberry ones to go! Then we had chicken & waffles and the pastrami hash. The chicken was incredibly crispy and the hash was delicious- lots of peppers & onions to complement the pastrami. Music was loud (we were right in front of the DJ) with some great selections! Service was excellent as well. We will definitely be back!

    Very good We all had a lovely time . Plenty of tea w honey. I even saved the small honey jars. They were so cute. I will recycle them and use them again. I couldn’t seem to think they would go in the trash. We all ordered from menu. You could get the buffet but choose to order. I had the veggie quiche. Delicious. Everyone one else was happy at our table. Nice relaxing atmosphere. ❤️❤️💜💜Happy New year All

    We can't recommend Mile Marker One enough! It's always been a summer favorite of ours, but we just ate lunch in one of their very cool igloos on the water, and it was fantastic. Along with a table for 4, there was a cozy sitting area for 2 people provided. The service and food was the usual excellent, and the view! Their was even music tapped in. We didn't want to leave. Thank you for putting these igloos on the deck so we could experience everything we love about Mile Marker in the winter too! A+
