I asked a staff member about it and they confirmed that their AC was broken!!! Why were we not notified ahead of time so I could have made other dinner arrangements?? The restaurant has my contact info and even required a credit card to hold the reservation. It was very unpleasant eating a fancy dinner in a hot restaurant 😐 Not even a discount or comp for a future visit, not a visit from a manager on duty... nothing to make up for this.

My guest was an older woman friend, who doesn't consume much food, so the idea of the buffet only set-up was not appealing. Nor was the cost. $160.00 per person plus a 20% tip automatically added. A 20% tip for a waiter that only brought us water? We had to serve ourselves and even put our used dishes on the empty table next to us because they were being removed in a timely fashion.

I have been to Mother's Day brunch there many times before. I had 2 children ages 6 and 8. They sat us and gave us plastic bright orange Waterpark wrist bands for the buffet. We said that we wanted the ala cart menu. They told us the whole restaurant was buffet. What choice did we have? The buffet was pretty looking, but the foods were cheap stuff like pasta, salad bar, mashed potatoes, sysco scrambled eggs. They had a carving station, some cheese, and plated cake. But nothing was all that good. The kids got 1 piece of French toast, some fruit, and 1 piece of bacon. When the bills came, it was $435. There were 5 of us. But $40 for each child. $80 for each adult. The drinks were fair priced. But overall, it was not worth the price and not great. It was truly a bummer because we enjoyed our prior brunches there.","rating":{"food":1,"service":3,"ambience":3,"value":1,"noise":"ENERGETIC","overall":1,"__typename":"ReviewRating"},"user":{"numOfApprovedReviews":3,"nickname":"Kristy","metro":{"metroId":4,"displayName":"San Francisco Bay Area","__typename":"Metro"},"initials":"K","isVip":null,"isLoggedInUser":false,"profileColor":"MUSTARD","profilePhoto":{"photoBySize":null,"__typename":"PublicDinerProfilePhoto"},"__typename":"ReviewUser"},"helpfulness":{"up":0,"down":0,"score":0,"__typename":"ReviewHelpfulness"},"publicRestaurantReply":{"message":"Thanks for visiting us, Kristy.
