    The xmas brunch was not in the oak room and should not have been advertised as such. However, food and service were good.

    Christmas brunch was truly overpriced. Not worth it. Some food was nice and the service very good but very little Christmas atmosphere and way too expensive for the food available.

    I was very unhappy with my experience. I brought a friend for her birthday. First of all, the tea service was not in the Oak Room. It should not be advertised that it. I expected this to be an elegant experience in one of the most iconic hotels in the City. It was not even close. The room the service was in was a conference room where the continental breakfast is served for the hotel guests. The holiday decorations were minimal. The food was sub par. The tea sandwiches were just ok. The roast beef sandwich was basically a toast. The bread was stale. The crab sandwich was also a toast and tasted just ok. The desserts were fine. The scone was ok. The menu states Devonshire cream would be served but only whipped cream was served. Big difference between the two. We asked for it twice but the waitstaff told us the whipped cream was Devonshire cream. The tea was fine and the champagne as well. Service was ok. I was really disappointed and just expected a lot more for the price. Not more food, just a more elevated experience.

    I was there for the Thanksgiving Day Buffet. I was very disappointed that the oak room was closed for renovations and was not notified of this ahead of time. It was set up in a conference room. There was nothing festive in the room, no table decorations or room decorations. Our reservation was for 1:30. Much of the food looked like it was set out at 11 and was left out. The dim sum had steamed for 2 1/2 hours so was inedible and so was the ravioli. The whole time I was there I only saw the dessert table replenished. There was no bar service only wine. At $120 per person this was not worth it.

    We booked the Oak Room at $120 per person for Thanksgiving expecting an excellent meal and experience which was sadly not the case, at all. First, when we arrived, the actual Oak Room was closed for renovation. There was no signage saying it had moved elsewhere in the hotel. I had to ask at the front desk and they weren’t even sure. We eventually found the room, which was a crappy conference room with poor tables, bright lighting and moldy carpeting. It was also apparently where the hotel was also serving their breakfast for guests. The food itself was average. There was no wine service unless we asked. There was not table service but a buffet, which was so strange for the price. At the end, with a bottle of wine and one plateful of food, the bill was $300!!! My partner was livid and complained to the manager who gave us 20% off of the already outrageous bill. That made the total 280. I genuinely feel that this experience was price gouging and a bait and switch. Absolutely everyone should be aware of the “Oak Room” deals. An absolute rip off that should be reported.

    Mom and Pop style service. I would expect something a bit more professional here. We heard noise and loud discussion in the kitchen during our meal. Our server was friendly and efficient, but not not a trained waiter. Think Denny's. Our food wasQ!1×

    Restaurant atmosphere was elegant. When we arrived at 12:45 pm we were the only patron. Not a good sign, but fortunately we were pleasantly surprise with the food and service.
