    The hostess said they don’t take reservations on weekends even though I made one on OpenTable…so, we had to wait about 30 minutes. Disappointing…but the breakfast was decent.
    Avenue GrillResponded on April 12, 2025
    We are truly sorry for the experience you had. We take full responsibility for the confusion and the wait time, especially after you made a reservation expecting a smooth visit. While we’re currently unable to accommodate weekend reservations due to the high volume of hotel guests, we know that’s no excuse for the miscommunication. We’re actively working to correct this and make sure it’s clearly communicated moving forward and reservations will not be pushed through for those days. Thank you for your patience, and I’m glad to hear the breakfast was still enjoyable. We hope to have the chance to make things right the next time you visit. Thank you for your feedback as it allows us to make the experience better for all our future valued guests.

    No one waited on us or offered us waters after 15 minutes of waiting, so we left. Terrible!

    I had a good time overall. The food was worth it, and the staff was so kind. Unfortunately, I had a not-so-nice encounter with a customer who was staying at the hotel. She ordered food from her chair and shouted at the lady doing omelets. I found this to be extremely rude. The woman who ran the Omelette station handled the incident with care, but I felt the encounter should have been addressed on a higher level. It does not matter what or how much money you may have; you should not yell at anyone to fix you an omelet from across the station while other customers have waited in line.

    I ate here before going to the theater, so I did not want to eat heavily. The restaurant is very convenient to the National Theater on the same block, but only for matinees since they only serve breakfast and lunch. I had the potato leek soup and an upgraded grilled cheese sandwich with bacon, and both were excellent. I only ate half of the sandwich-not that I didn't want to eat the other half, but the sandwich was large, and I knew I would be sitting for a couple of hours. I would definitely eat here again.

    We had there breakfast brunch buffet. Food was good, but some of it was cold. There was a good variety of items to choice from. It was a quick and easy option.
