Reviews

Brad Barbour

Totally awesome lunch!

We both had the hot Turkey Sandwich, with homemade mashed potatoes! Definitely a winner. But make sure you save room for dessert. The coconut cream pie was excellent, as well as the BlackBerry pie.

The summit is an amazing place to enjoy a meal anytime of day. While the menu is relatively small everything I've tried so far has been delicious and affordable. The restaurant is almost always busy yet the staff are regularly pleasant and attentive.
