I went here for a Father's Day brunch and my birthday. The food was not like it was before covid. The beef was still bloody, the bacon was not done, and a whole lot of other things were wrong. The only thing that was good was the garlic mashed potatoes, the pepper steak, and the water. It's definitely not worth the $50 a person. The waiter took 20 minutes to even acknowledge me.

I was actually disappointed with Father’s Day brunch. I simply did not enjoy the food. I have had previous experiences here that were great, including Mother’s Day, but not this time. Food was just not great. Also disappointed that mimosas were not included. To be fair Bloody Mary was included but not everyone can drink Bloody Mary. Also, they should have a middle price for someone to old for the child’s price but to young for the alcohol included price.

Overall, everything was nice. I do feel that last year was much better than this year. The price is fine, but the food was not cooked as well or as many choices or different choices that I like I don’t like mashed potatoes with gravy.

First time returning to the venue since change in ownership & Covid-19 ckosure. Hotel style buffet. Food had variety but was standard fare, nothing exceptional. The server & wait staff were amiable and very attentive; sufficient time allowed for dining, definitely plusses.

My family and I enjoyed the brunch. The food wqs slightly underseasoned, and the mandatory 20% fee for large parties would've been fine if our tables received service during the brunch, but we rarely saw wait staff at our tables. This has been our go-to for the last couple of years. We may explore something new next year on Mother's Day.

Price was exorbitant, wasn't prepared for that. Guess I need to look for that before I make a reservation - my fault. Food was good as was the selection. Coffee was horrible and creamers we had were curdled. Ana was a good server but I didn't like that you had the % tips listed on the ticket. I just followed my normal ways and did the 20% based on looking at the bill. Realized after that the Service at a buffet is not worth a $100 tip. Will not be coming back for any brunch at the Odyssey.
