Then had to wait 5 minutes for her to return with clean silverware that she grabbed off another table. By then my food is cold and my sister's meal finally arrived.

"My new favorite weekend brunch place. Sitting by the window, we had spectacular views of so many types of aircraft. Our server was delightful and attentive, even when she was so very busy.
