Sunday brunch buffet was delightful. The wait staff were attentive and friendly. The variety of food choices was great - eggs, omelets, waffles and pancakes made to order. Several meat sides plus potatoes and yummy corn grits. Fresh fruit. Lox and cream cheese (no bagels tho). Housemade granola, pastries and two kinds of chocolate cake. Mitch, gently played the piano in the background.

Visit the Courthouse for lunch several times every summer. All the food is very good. Salad dressing and desserts are homemade and delicious. Love the coconut custard pie!

My scallop dish while delicious, wasn't really all that warm, nor were my potatoes. My Husband's lobsterpot pie was piping hot. I believe that my dinner sat a while waiting for his meal.

A special place with delicious food and reasonable pricing for brunch. Nice touch with guitarist playing. Although they seemed short staffed for the buffet, they were very accomodating. Would like to try dinner there in the future.
