   We did the Mother’s Day brunch and it was pre fix menu and price and unfortunately they just could not seem to keep up with the demand and often times the buffet was empty which created long lines waiting for it to be refilled. Just felt over priced for what we got.

   I understand that Mother’s Day can be a busy experience. However, it was a very frustrating experience to have to wait for food to be replaced in a very long buffet line. If they had reservations ahead of time, I don’t know why there were surprises in the number of customers every hour. The lag time was pretty bad. I don’t think we had a $50 per person experience. It would’ve been nice to have waffles or a carving station. I don’t think we got what we paid for. Very Disappointing overall. However, our waiter was quite attentive with drink orders and very very pleasant.  I will not be dining here for any other Mother’s Day celebrations.

   Maybe this was their first Mother’s Day Brunch, food was delicious a good buffet menu but they ran out of food and people had to wait long lines. I’ll suggest double the trays of the food (eggs/potatoes/ pancakes) and spread the people more if the kitchen wasn’t going to support the amount of people.

   We love our Beacons! What a wonderful Mother's Day brunch! One of our favorite locations to visit. Their outdoor patio is lovely and fun. Great staff too! Shout out to Shara, she was great.

   Beacon’s waitstaff cannot be matched, consistently efficient and friendly.

   When I checked in I was told they did not have a reservation for me, I showed them my email confirmation and said could one of the parties I was meeting have already checked in? I was told they had no reservations for a party of 6 but they would accommodate us and set up a table for us. They did as one of the other parties arrived, we ordered a drink and 15 minutes later got a text from the other party asking if we were ok, they had been seated by the same gentleman who told me we did not have a reservation and we’re on the other side of the restaurant. Once together the food and service were good.

   Food was good as usual. Our server was a bit distracted and we barely saw her - someone else took our drink order, someone else brought our food, someone else cleared our plates, etc.

   We enjoy going To Beacons Restaurant. The food is delicious, the servers and other staff are very friendly, and the prices are reasonable. When we go there we are treated like old friends. We used to go to Beacons in the 1990s, loved it then, love it now.
