Plano has a no smoking ordinance for all restaurants. On 1/7/05 at 6:30 pm my guest (an out of town cousin) and I smelled strong odor of cigarette smoke while dining.

The kitchen tends to be more ambitious than talent allows. The items requiring the simpler preparation tend to be the best. Caveat: if it sounds exotic on the menu, don't order it! I particularly like the weekend brunches, and can even excuse the pretentious Park Cities crowd with their cellular phones and demanding attitudes. The space is very comfortable and the staff is friendly and helpful, allowing you to enjoy a relaxing meal. less
