Unfortunately heard a lot of good things and made reservations but disappointed. Service was slow for not being super busy. They had a vendor show happening upstairs and wondering if that’s where servers kept going. Food was room temperature when it came, not much flavor. French toast was very dry. Steak had no seasoning on it. Coffee was good though. We were given the bill, paid cash and never received our change. Never got our dessert we ordered to go, and no receipt. The waitress never came back and couldn’t be found. We stopped at the vendor show and there she was shopping. So disappointed and won’t be returning.

Love all the breakfasts I’ve tried especially the coconut oatmeal. Nellies breakfast special is so unique with the plantains and cooked in sofrito. Breakfast jibarito is really good as well

I enjoyed the omelet/egg station most of all. The guy working the omelet/egg station was friendly and hard-working. I would have liked to see labels on brunch buffet items. I had no idea what some items were, which left me less inclined to try them. The service was slightly below average. In my opinion, the buffet brunch was not worth the price paid. My Cafe con Leche was not included. However, the OJ and Sparkling Passion Fruit Water my friends ordered was? Both items were not listed on the receipt. Would have been helpful to know what was included and what wasn't.

We had read a lot about this place and were excited to try it. There were some good things on the buffet, like the oatmeal, but overall didn’t find it outstanding. Next time I’d order from the menu and skip the buffet.
