    I will first say it is worth going once....but... the singer was not very good, and she appeared to be unenthusiastic. The space is always amazing. The food was presented beautifully, but the execution was not well done. The eggs Benedict were cold and the more dinner relevant dishes were not very flavorful. There was amazing shrimp cocktail and smoked salmon, salads, obviously not in house baked pastries. the desserts were again beautiful, but really not good. Lastly, the price is not worth it. It is $65 per person and we had one drink each at $12 ( mimosa and bloody mary). With taxes and tip it was $200!!!! Far too much...

    This is a great place if you are looking for an "experience" brunch. The Jazz music was awesome and entertaining. The good was great and there was so many different things to choose from. The only little thing I'd say is that the warming trays for some of the dishes weren't working correctly and some of the food was a little cold. But overall I loved the variety of options. And the mimosa's were fantastic!

    We will be back. Food was fabulous. Never went to a food station that was empty. They were constantly bringing out new food before the one that was there got empty. And the options? So many options even the pickiest patron would be able to find something. For the price, probably the best brunch Buffett I have ever been to. Prime rib, omelette station, great drink. Definitely recommend.

    Excellent brunch! Get there right at 10am and you have your choice of tables. The food was phenomenal. Coffee and Juice are included. Mimosa's and Bloody Mary Bar are $10 for each drink. We spent 2 hours enjoying the food and music.
