   The café has nice ambiance, but the buffet was limited and the pastries were very ordinary. The food choices were oddly paired. The wait staff were nice but seemed uncoordinated.

   we were here at thanksgiving where we were seated at the atrium. a much better experience than the "ballroom" food: prime rib was good, the au jus became a brown gravy which was better...the lamb was good... the chicken breast and sauce was good. .. the salmon too fishy tho the sauce was good. definitely the selection was less that at thanksgiving.. eg the cold selection was poor had to run over to the atrium for a decent selection of desserts.eg the soft serve, the tables were far, far too far apart.. especially if you are old and gray and that was added to how far the seating was. service.. much less than expected vs at thanksgiving. tho the mimosa service was good clearance of plates was good tho a bit over enthusiastic (lost several ongoing plates cuz of stepping away from seats) otherwise.. had to flag down for water and not offered refills. same for hot water for tea... same for coffee.... this despite, at the end of the service, staff was congregated at the end of the hall opposite the entry doors and several suits being around ehhh..

   Considering it was Easter brunch and busy, the restaurant staff was ready for action. We were seated promptly and the wait staff very pleasant. Lots of “managers” making sure all went smoothly. Large variety of fresh fruits and salads and seafood. Nice selection of hot entrees. No rice or mashed potatoes , one potato casserole dish, but all was tasty. Desserts better than most buffets and we shared samples of many choices. Will for sure go again next time Easter brunch is in the plans.

   We visited for Easter Brunch and, as expected, it was very busy, but the service was excellent, and the variety was impressive, featuring delicious prime rib, braised steak, lamb, potatoes, fish, and more, alongside a tempting dessert selection of sliced cakes, green tea mochi with red bean filling, donuts, cupcakes, cookies, macaroons, and soft serve ice cream, complemented by wonderful bottomless mimosas, sodas, and orange juice, resulting in a total bill of $194 that included an 18% mandatory service charge.

    Great buffet with excellent seafood. Wish they had more breakfast items but everything is delicious.
