   It's very nice to be able to hear live music while having dinner. However the food is by no means exceptional whatsoever. The service is very good. The restaurant needs a more eclectic dinner menu.

   Made online reservations for options jazz lounge for the live music. We were happy to learn you can order off the main restaurant menu until 9pm. (condensed after that). the server found us a non alcoholic bottle of sparkling wine off the menu and the food was wonderful. We had carpaccio, and sushi combo and mushroom gnocchi for mains. Only critique would be not the greatest seats in the house which were by the main entrance with a slight draft coming through occasionally. Will be back!

We are glad to know you enjoyed your experience with us - the Carpaccio, Sushi Combo and Gnocchi have been quite a draw with our guests!

   Dinner options were solid and food was delicious, in particular the gnocchi dish!! The new budha bowl was also very good! We enjoyed the cauliflower bites as an appetizer, great flavour and the new desserts, strudel and chocolate pecan donut cake were fantastic!! Our server Deborah was fantastic and right on point, she even remembered us the next night and came over to say hi. The only disappointment was breakfast, I had classic benedict and my poached eggs still had some runny whites.

   It is really time for a menu change. I don't eat meat and the only thing on the menu that appealed was the asparagus - that was good. I wanted a desert too - carrot cake would have been a fav but having had before and found lack-luster, I decided not to. I won't visit again if the menu stays the same

   The server Jerome was helpful, polite, and professional. He provided us with impeccable customer service. The food was delicious, yet a little overpriced. The joy killer of the night was our seating. Despite a great number of vacant tables, we were seated beside an emergency exit, in front of an empty cart and a TV which I was showing ridiculous programming :(

    We haven’t been back to Perspectives restaurant since chef Michael Blackie left. We were very disappointed. We’d always enjoyed the Birch tree decor, but the service and the food were not up to par this time. This was a birthday brunch for my adult daughter. It is highly unlikely that we will return. Sawdust biscuits, coffee and water not refilled, food not hot, no special breakfast beverage menu, seating less than optimal considering we made a reservation well in advance… just to list a few things…

    Food was a bit pricey (but this was expected). What I did not expect at that price was that the food and presentation was not spectacular. I had the salmon benedict -- English muffin was cold (possibly not toasted?), hollandaise was somewhat flavorless, presentation was mediocre. Wife had scrambled eggs -- toast was cold and un buttered. Coffee service was poor -- I had to flag someone down to get a second cup (well after my cup was empty) -- I may have had a bit more but it was not worth the effort. I was expecting top-notch -- this did not provide; at bets it was on par with lesser hotel restaurants.

    The overall quality of food was good, sushi excellent, ambiance good, service very good. I ordered the sticky tawfy pudding for desert. It could hae used more sauce, (it was a little dry and been hot vs. warm). I did not complain - my bad, as I am certain that the excellent servers would have remedied.

    Not sure if I missed the information or if it’s just not shown anywhere, but they don’t serve lunch until 2pm. I ended up going somewhere else for my birthday lunch as breakfast wasn’t on my pallet. The staff were super friendly and understanding as to why we were leaving. Also seemed silly to book a reservation for an empty restaurant, the server even made a funny face when I said I had a reservation.

    The portion sizes received were quite small and we felt that the price we paid didn't feel right. My dad ordered the chowder soup, which came in a bowl that was very hard to eat from and there was only about a cup and a half of it. Then I ordered the club sandwich with fries and Caesar salad splits and received less than a Cup of both!!! We ended up going somewhere else afterwards since we were not full.

    We went in for brunch, expecting the wonderful buffet that they had in the past. Unfortunately, over COVID they took out the buffet, but the brunch page did not reflect that was the case. Regardless, the brunch menu looked to be fairly appetizing. We ordered the classic eggs benedict, as this is our go-to and favorite breakfast item. To say it was bland is an understatement. As a chef, I was appalled. In all the years I've had, and made hollandaise, I simply do not understand how that degree of lack of flavor went under anyone's radar. If you put that eggs benedict and a piece of cardboard next to each other, the cardboard would have made your palate sing. Oh, and the english muffin was burnt for both of our benedicts. So, the blandness combined with that lovely lingering char flavor meant all you tasted was burnt bread. Kudos for making your own english muffins. Just don't burn them. That said, the eggs were poached perfectly. But the hollandaise? Wow. Someone needs to get a lesson on how to make one properly.

    Perspectives Restaurant and Options Jazz LoungeResponded on November 4, 2022Good day WestendChef, Thank you for choosing the Brookstreet Hotel, and taking the time to provide us your feedback regarding your brunch experience. Our apologies that the hollandaise on your eggs benedict was lacking in flavour, and that the english muffin was over toasted. We will be sure to share this feedback with our culinary team so it can be addressed. Best wishes and we hope to see you again in the future!

The live jazz was wonderful, although at times a little loud. It was my birthday and I was treated well. Overall an awesome first birthday experience.
