I was so excited to eat brunch in the iconic sunroom of the historic St. Anthony hotel. It is simply stunning. One can only wonder what conversations took place there in the early 1900's. The tables settings were lovely and quaint. The teal, velvet chairs are plush and oh so comfortable. The host and the table runners were inviting & prompt. I was a little disappointed with our table service though. Although our waitress was polite we didn't have our drinks refilled or our plates removed. I had to ask for a refill of coffee. The manager on duty walked by and graciously removed the plates on her own accord when she noticed they hadn't been picked up. When I inquired about ordering traditional eggs benedict (not on the menu) over the on menu brisket egg's benedict I was told they don't make them traditional. I ordered the chicken and waffles instead. The menu details states that the chicken tossed in a spicey honey sauce but BEWARE it does not state that the sauce is VERY, VERY spicy. I have a pretty good tolerance for spicy, hot food too. The waitress was polite and courteous to swap my meal out with another option. My new selection was yummy. No complaints there. I rate this place at a 4 because of the historic beauty & tasty food. However, if I would rate it on the table service alone I would give it a 3. The prices are a tad steep which I am okay with but for prices that high I do expect better service.
