    We had a very enjoyable meal here tonight. We had a table with a view of the waterfall. Prime Rib was a delicious special entree. The restaurant was very busy.

    Salmon was delicious, two had the special stuffed chicken which they really enjoyed and one had the spicy Asian pasta which she thought was very good. Our waiter Jose was amazing, friendly and knowledgeable. Love the atmosphere and the scenery.

    Great brunch deal and decent food. Issue was the service and us having to ask four times for them to turn the heaters off. I'm not exaggerating when I'm telling you I had to take my sweater vest off and just wear a black undershirt to be able to stay there.
