   Lovely Mother’s Day brunch. The food was very yummy. We all liked our meals. It is a bit pricey but delicious. Our drinks were very good too. The Board Room does not disappoint.

   Came here for Mother’s Day brunch. Atmosphere was nice. Our server was great. Food was just okay. Eggs Benedict was good. Eggs sandwich was tasty but the fries were way undercooked. Sent them back. Omelet was very good but the potatoes were also very undercooked, and they were even ordered well done. The server apologized and brought replacements, which were much better.

   Horrible service and overpriced mediocre food. Honestly a surreal experience overall. My family and I came here for Mother’s Day. We had a 10am reservation and were the first table seated when they opened. Despite this, it took almost 35 mins to get our orders in and an hour for the food to even come. Our waiter was just never around and never checked in on us. We watched as tables sat after us and received their food before us. We were seated with no silverware which took forever to get extra sets of. We ordered bloody Mary’s, some were missing olives, some were missing bacon, when we asked our waiter Nate for the bacon and olives he said ok and then just never came back with them. My nephew ordered the kids pancakes which came with a side of fruit. The pancakes came, no fruit. When we asked Nate for the fruit he brought us a side of fruit 15 minutes later and then charged us on the bill for it! You’d think on a packed day like Mothers days they’d be trying to get us in and out. But it was so much work just to get our waiter to serve us the things we ordered and check us out that it took us almost 2 hours for breakfast. On top of that the food is nothing special and way overpriced. The manager was nice enough to give us 20% off our bill, but with a 20% service charge baked in we had no choice but to tip 20% for service we’d never tip that much on. Very disappointing.

   The food was excellent as was the wine and the service. However, the sound (music) was too loud. We couldn't hear each other speak consequently.

   Bland food. My skillet and toast were dry due to over easy eggs were too over cooked. No fruit in or on sangria. Entries were delivered one at a time for party of 4. We had to wait to eat. Looking forward to a good experience but disappointed.

   This was our first time visiting The Boardroom. We felt that the food was overpriced given what we got. We had a 5:30 pm reservation and the restaurant gets super loud. The two of us had a hard time hearing each other over all the noise.

   This was our second visit. Our first was a great experience. We were seated upon arrival and our server came by almost immediately to say she’d be back shortly. We then waited for >15 minutes while she stopped by other tables, walked to the bar and kitchen multiple times and stood at the server stand for a while staring in space while we tried to make eye contact with her. We moved to the bar and were greeted and served immediately. The food and wine selection is very good and the portions are large. We like to order and share.
