    It was a terrible experience as we arrived at 11 am for our confirmed reservation and was told that Ellyington's was CLOSED. When we told the host that we had confirmed reservations, he said his manager told him to close the restaurant and that all tables were filled and there was no room for our family to have brunch. We went to the front desk of the Brown Palace and asked to speak to the manager of the hotel and were told to wait and he would attend us. Manager never came but , after waiting, we were told they would make room for us at the Ship's Tavern for lunch. I said if I wanted lunch at the Ship's Tavern, I would have made reservations for the Ship's Tavern and asked to have the manager call me to explain what happened. Manager never called. What happened to the quality of service at the Brown Palace and Ellyington's. So disappointed. Hope someone will buy that elegant hotel and restore it to its historic elegance. Will not be returning to the Brown until its under new management

    Host was rude , we waited 2 hours for our food and when the waiter decided for the wait he was going to give us free champagne to the table to guests that were sober in which he didn’t even ask the bathrooms were out of order coffee cold and they didn’t serve us all at one time they brought out random plates , gave me a incorrect order from all American to biscuit and gravy and they don’t even greet or say bye to you, dads been going there for 20 years and this was our last year going we decided to try the broadmore next year since there is no buffet and it lacks everything it was

    Avoid. Service was horrible, super Slow and food was cold. The Brown Palace and its restaurant have really gone down hill. Definitely a lot of better options for food in the area.

    Service was very slow. Food was cold when it arrived. The kitchen was very backed up and waited 15 min to get waited on.

    I had a wonderful experience at Ellyngton’s. I made a reservation for 12 to catch up with my cousin over brunch, and everything went smoothly. The wait staff was friendly and attentive, especially our server, Dowa (apologies if I’ve misspelled the name), who made us feel very welcomed. The ambiance was relaxing with elegance. With the soothing sounds of jazz playing in the background. It was the perfect setting for a leisurely brunch. After such a pleasant visit, I’m excited to return and see how Ellyngton’s dinner service compares.

    What has happened to the Brown Palace? We arrived on time for breakfast, seated swiftly and served water and coffee. We didn't see our server until 25 minutes, after we were seated. Food arrived 65 minutes after we were seated.

    The hotel is decorated very nice and great to take in prior to dining;however, the type and quality of food provided at the Christmas buffet is not worth the $125 per person charge.
