    Staff and servers were friendly, live jazz music was nice as well. Food was OK nothing crazy special lacking flavour for like 80% of the items. I wouldn’t really say it’s worth the money I’ve been to a better all you can eat brunch that has included drinks in the price. I was also charged extra for some guests who couldn’t show up and when I called to change the reservation the host did not let this be known to me. Then when last by the manager they said that they did inform me. I don’t like when people are not honest to make it seem like I am in the wrong. Definitely will not be attending again not a good lock when establishments blame the customer for their lack of communication.

    That was the best Easter buffet brunch ever. The food was excellent, service was great and compared to Some of the classic hotel easter brunches the price was better. We will turn this into an annual tradition

    We had a terrible experience. We were really excited to try the jazz brunch and the food as it looked wonderful on their website. Unfortunately, the service was so bad it made the entire brunch disappointing and when we left we were still ready for more food. No one should ever leave an establishment hungry because they can’t get service to order more. We actually had a reservation for Easter brunch that we have cancelled after today’s experience.
