This has been our go to place for years. Lately it's been going downhill.This morning we went for brunch. I ordered the omelet which used to be best in town. This time the eggs were so thin it was like paper, the ham seemed to be sliced sandwich ham super thin, the laid on top cheese was like Velveeta slices very coagulation. The potatoes and biscuit were cold and no chance to spread the frozen butter. Service which is normally top natch was horrible. Waiter took our order and never showed back up until time to pay tea glass was empty never refilled.such a shame it's gone downhill I had hopes it would be a staple.

So relaxing and the food is amazing!! Ordered the special, ribeye steak and was one of the best steaks I've had! And I'm not much on steak but I ate the entire thing during my lunch hour hahaLove the environment as well. Live birds and the pond are beautiful to take in.

It's basically just my favorite place in town. Take a stroll through the nursery with your lady, then share an appetizer sampler or full lunch.Best bacon wrapped jalapenos I've had

Would highly suggest this place for kids because of the fish pond and the ambience. I’m gonna be honest. This was some of the worst food I’ve ever had for brunch. The food came out two minutes after we ordered it, and it was all pre-fab dried out and I’m pretty sure the scrambled eggs are powdered.

This was a date night for my husband and I.Hostess was very kind. Music was live and it was great! Loved the garden atmosphere with the coy fish.But the service and the food was not very good. The server who took our order was nice, but not once did he check on us between the time we ordered our food and stopped him to ask for the check.. so we never got a refill on our drinks. A separate guy brought our food and he was not friendly. Did not ask if we needed anything. Left the food with us as if he was in a hurry. So I walked to the server station myself to grab the ketchup my husband wanted. The food was okay... Mozzarella sticks were the best thing we got. We had also got chips & queso. The queso tasted like nacho cheese from a can. My husband got a burger. Not seasoned well and not cooked to well done the way he had asked for. I got the crème de la crepes. It was basically an expensive taquito dish. Very basic and very bland.Don’t think we will return... I wanted this to be so good. I was excited when walking in and seeing the atmosphere and meeting the very kind hostess. But it just went downhill from there.

I think it's a hidden gem of Midland. I visited the city so many times for work but it was the first time I have been there. Food was great, service was blazingly fast. It was a tad pricy that's why I knocked off one star. But still highly recommend it
