    Paid $80 a person for 2 tiny pastries, soup and 3 raviolis. Also was there for nearly 3 hours because there was only one server working.

    Reserved for advertised brunch buffet for my grandmothers 89th birthday. 6 people. Waited 10 minutes at the hostess stand without seeing an employee, had to ask the Delta front desk staff to find someone. Despite a reservation, staff had no idea we were coming and were unprepared, which led to an even longer wait while they figured out where to seat us. Brunch has been cancelled, no longer offered. We’re adaptable, this isn’t in itself a huge deal. 20 minutes to get coffee and water. Asked for Baileys for coffee, never arrived. Finally asked after waiting another 10 minutes, was told “we don’t have a key”. Okay? Could have been communicated when it was ordered. 30 minutes in, ordered food. Ultimately left after waiting another FORTY FIVE minutes for no food. No coffee refills. Just awful.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the disappointing experience you had during your grandmother's 89th birthday celebration. It’s clear we fell short in several areas, from the lack of communication about the brunch cancellation to the delays in service, and we understand how frustrating this must have been. We strive to provide a seamless and enjoyable experience for all our guests, and it's unfortunate that we missed the mark with your group. Your comments are being taken seriously, and we will be addressing the issues you raised with our team to improve our service and communication moving forward. We hope you will give us another chance to show you the level of service you deserve.

    Nothing overly special, no brunch drinks were available. Honestly, it felt like they were short staffed the morning we went. Food was missing components that were described on the menu, which made them "more" than just plain pancakes. Coffee is terrible, cream didn't save it either.
