We had a large party, so some delays in service is expected, however it took 30 minutes to get our first round of drinks - after being given 3 drink menus, 2 of which were missing a page or two and one that was literally empty - and an additional hour after requesting our second round. The appetizers came out and were quite good, however the entrees did not come out until 2 hours into our meal. There were roughly 4 other people dining while we were there, with several servers and two bartenders, there was no reason for such slow service. The waitress was relatively polite but seemed indifferent and entertained by our dissapointment with the quality of service, not to mention the rather gross food. The menu was not the same as what was state online and overall I wouldn't reccomend eating here. However, it was one of the funniest meals we've ever had as now we have many funny stories to tell about the experience.

At 6:30 on a Saturday night, they were out of half the things we asked for but we weren’t even told until they delivered what they did have to our table. When we asked for substitute dishes, they were out of those too. The dishes we got were fine, not great. The room is loud and bare and menus are paper. I had to ask for a glass for my beverage (brought the bottle to the table) and plates for our shared appetizers. Waiter was slow and inattentive. With the infinite options on the Plaza across the street, this is NOT the place to dine.

The staff was nice and accommodating but the food at the Easter buffet was just okay. There weren’t many people there so the food wasn’t being refreshed often and it wasn’t the freshest quality. The $70 brunch price seemed a bit high for just okay food.

I have literally NEVER encountered worse service at a restaurant. We were there an hour in advance for organized brunch. There were no table settings, no silverware, no champagne glasses with 6 bottles ordered in advance. The "manager" couldn't care less...the server was terrible and hapless. We waited 90 minutes for food with NO ONE ELSE in entire restaurant. The meals were delivered in some cases 30 minutes apart to one table. Inexcusable. One good note...my compliments to the chef. The food was extraordinary. It's sad when servers can spoil an entire experience...and they seriously were so cavalier and flippant...i should not have tipped a penny, but I gave 20% hoping the chef benefited.

The area around the fireplace is beautiful. The staff allowed us to eat our meal there which made for a good experience. The restaurant area looks like a cafeteria and is extremely noisy. Also, The restaurant was unable to make one of our appetizers and substituted a less expensive item. They told us they were giving us that substitute item at no cost but instead charged us for the more expensive one that they didn’t serve us. By the time we got our bill and noticed the mistake, it was too much trouble to ask them to correct it. To be fair, this was a Friday evening and they were very busy.

The space is great and overlooks a great view of the plaza! Food was good as well but it was awkwardly quiet in there and practically empty

Very disappointed. Tables so close you could not get around without disturbing others. Food was cold to slightly warm. Desserts table was awful- pies in aluminum holders, looked like they just came from Price Chopper, runny and and blah! Omelette s were only option that met expectations. The Intercontinentals standards were not even close to average -- although the price was definitely in keeping with the location!!
