    Very disappointing. For $195 per person you would expect a decent experience. Here, the food was plentiful, but mediocre at best. Service bearing a service fee of 24% was inattentive and lackluster. Definitely an experience I will not repeat.

    I agree with other reviewers. For the price per person that we paid ($195 ) plus the 24% mandatory service charge, and then having to Tip on top of that, would definitely not return. The servers were not attentive at all. The carving stations, and most of the carvers had attitude. They would slice off tiny pieces to give you, and if you asked for more, they would look at you funny. I have been to many extravagant holiday buffets. Will never return to this one. The selection of food was very minimal. Extremely disappointed.

    Excellent Food,Service and overall experience. Two Suggestions, one would be to improve the check in process and two offer more vegetables.

    Mother’s Day Tea was beautiful. I am pleased with the event and will come back in the future. I was also happy that parking was validated.

    Beware the 24% service charge and the 10% sales tax that is charged on the entire bill, inclusive of the service charge. So tip and tax works out to roughly 36% or the brunch price. Unless you really enjoy champagne, or want to wait in line multiple times for a tiny serving of caviar, I don’t think the price is worth it.
