"Had family Sunday brunch. I have to say hands down one of the best times we have had really good food I mean really good!! Service was amazing. You have to try this place it's a great place for family friends or just a day away with an awesome view of the river and trees."

"Views are spectacular if you have the chance to sit near one of the windows with view of the river or even on the terrace outside. Good stop just a few minutes before the entrance to Sequoia National Park. Food was reasonably good."
