This is a review for the "Meet Santa" Christmas buffet brunch. The food was terrible and cold. Can't say one thing we ate was enjoyable with the exception of the hot chocolate station. The service was very good though. And overall they decorated the restaurant and hotel beautifully. Would not return to eat here based on the buffet experience which was expensive for what it was.

Everything was great, Santa, the elves, the food. The only issue was that they sat us next to a huge window that had no curtains and the sun was very bright and shining in our eyes the entire meal. My mother-in-law had to shade her face with her hand for most of the meal.

The new fall menu has venison on it and it's delicious: nicely cooked as requested, with a terrific sauce. The halibut was perfectly cooked, as usual. I requested a risotto instead of pasta with my seafood, and the chef said no problem, and it was outstanding. Our favorite neighborhood restaurant.

We did the brunch with Santa and I was overly unimpressed. It advertised activities and fun with Santa which I do appreciate the Santa and his attention to my child when he had the time. However there really was no activities and when I asked about the holiday adult drinks mentioned in the ad the server said there were none and then close to when we were done eating I heard them say bloody Mary’s and mimosas so I felt we didn’t get to take advantage of what we paid for. We were done with our first round of food before a server came to take drink orders as well. They were not very busy and we were early so they had time to wait to seat us if needed. It was not as smooth an experience as I thought and it definitely was not what I expected based on the description when purchasing. I doubt I would ever purchase again. The food was good over all, however eggs were a bit off. Otherwise all staff was friendly and attentive to cleaning plates and bringing the salt and pepper to the table.

This was a fantastic brunch with Santa. Everything was top notch and wonderful. Food stations were plentiful and staffed with friendly employees. Santa was perfect and made sure we had the right approach to taking the picture for the little guy. Only area for improvement would be was that it was too warm in the room. Staff and food was excellent. Price point was a good value for what you got in return. Would recommend this brunch to anyone. Much better option than the busier breakfasts or waiting in line at the mall.
