Deerfield does not disappoint. Our family tradition of Brunch with Santa continued this year. The food was delicious, the service was spot on. They were both attentive without being overbearing. Thank you for giving the opportunity to keep a treasured transition going!

We all ordered egg dishes and they tasted very good. 1 of the 4 orders came out incorrectly. The coffee was served lukewarm. It's a very nice place. Service is slow even when it is not crowded at all. We did not complain. I would return
