Truly a fantastic place. Staff were all very friendly, helpful without being overbearing and answered questions about the menu. They seemed genuinely pleased at how much we liked it. The cream of barley soup was outstanding! Add a bit of live acoustic guitar music and a dog-friendly deck with sheepskin chair covers to take the chill off, and you've got a recipe for a perfect brunch spot.

My husband and I both enjoyed our food. The hamburger and sandwich were both delicious. They also have a changing table in their restroom. The waitress was nice and the guests were also patient with our little 4 month old.

Stunning location, in winter faux fur covers line the chairs, blankets provided and fantastic patio heaters & a breathtaking view of Taquitz peak and the mountain. The brunch was perfection, there is nothing they don't have and bottomless mimosa's in at least 15 flavors. I did Hibiscus and it was lovely. Terry Jo played and sang in a beautiful Joni Mitchell vibe. And honestly one of the highlights was they exceptional care given by all staff members, thank you all! And last enjoy the puppies allowed on the patio. Thank you Tommy's for a beautiful Anniversary Brunch!

What an amazing place for a brunch Buffett. The environment is spectacular and the service was just perfect. As far as the food, it was so damn delicious. We're from Vegas and the food on this spectacular Buffett was the best ever. Live music and bottomless mimosas. What an exciting way to start the day.

Wonderful brunch buffet, great music from Terry Jo, super friendly and attentive service, we will be back!

Delicious variety of homemade muffins offered when you first arrive. Cute little outdoor patio. Coffee is hot. Delicious breakfast foods

The staff was exceptional! An expansive food variety for brunch! Awesome champagne flavors! We had a lovely surprise brunch experience! They do add a 3.5 C.C. processing fee. Worth it! Thank you Tommy's Kitchen! Above and beyond! ...
