  • "You haven't been to a. real Brunch until you've experienced the Breakers. Extremely personable while treating every guest with the utmost respect. I've been to brunch many times over the last 20 years . Friends say it's pricey however it's worth every penny! I always leave wanting to stay longer ! Or going home and returning the next day! The presentation and food selections leaves every last guest extremely well fed. and happy! Truly a memorable experience every time ."

  • "Excellent selection of high-quality foods -- lobster, king-crab, prime rib, lamb chops plus sushi, custom breakfast items and much, much more. Dessert table had just about anything you could want. Outstanding service and ambiance."

  • "The food & service were excellent. They do an amazing job at not seating too many tables at once so there is no "lines" or wait for food. We arrived at 11am & stayed until 2pm. We were celebrating a birthday, & our waiter brought a decorative dessert plate with "Happy Birthday" written in chocolate on the plate, while a harpist played Happy Birthday. An excellent & surprising touch!! A "must-do" for brunch for any occasion, or "just because.""

  • "We were happy to see and taste all the varieties of food presented. However the fresh fruits ,grilled veggies were sparse as was the fresh white fish. We got there at 11 30 and it seemed some of the food items were gone and not refilled?? The desserts were not labeled as the main food items. This would have helped. Healthier choices in breads and food prep would have been appreciated. Too much food either fried or in some kind of sauce. Service seemed to favor larger parties. We were not familiar with all that came with the brunch....ie hot drinks.. We did like the harp player. That was a great touch!"

  • "I thought the experience was wonderful. I was particularly impressed with the five star service. The first time my date and I ever had breakfast serenaded by a harp. The price I expected per Open Table was around $50.00 per person when it turned out to cost $100.00 per person. Sticker Shock. Perhaps your data here could be corrected. Byron Petersen"

  • "The food and presentation was amazing but the service was not up to par. SEveral times throughout the brunch we had plates stacked at our table with wait staff walking by not picking them up. In 2 cases the waiter actually came by and replaced the utensils but left the used plates on the table and did not come back. We had to ask other servers to take the used plates."

  • "We have been there several times and it never disappoints. It’s expensive, but well worth it. The setting is stunning, the variety and quality of food is superb and the service professional and friendly. You have to take your time to enjoy the whole experience. As far as my knowledge goes, there is no other place in South Florida that offers a better brunch."

  • "For $95 a person this was not worth it at all. The food really wasn't that great. It tasted average at best. The only thing that was good was the dessert but for $95 one would be better to save their money and go to a better restaurant. This was a disappointment. Nice to see the hotel but not worth the price, not even close."

  • "This was a Mother's Day celebration brunch and for us it was a real treat. While pricey, for the variety, amount and freshness of the food and the courteous staff it was truly worth it. I would definitely go back for Sunday brunch. I would also recommend leaving a couple hours open afterwards for a nap."

  • "Cold and over cooked eggs benedict, under cooked and cold roastbeef no choice of preference, no hot sauteed dishes, steal sushi rolls, no sashimi at 1pm. No crepes suzettes ( used to be a standard ) Unpleasant smelly stone crabs. Unfriendly Icecream server."

  • "Finding the ultimate brunch on vacation is always on our to do list. Therefore we were excited to finally try the Breakers famous array. Due to comparison, this one fell sort. The focus on seafood and dessert was appreciated, minus the respective presentation. The entree items albeit tasty lacked creatity, ( eggs Benedict an embarrassment), as did the remainder of the buffet. We hoped for a greater offering of fruits, vegetables, salads and cheeses. The circle brunch gives the diner an ultimate experience if you care more about where you are , shame on them! "

  • "Sunday brunch was fabulous.we were seated at the table we requested(13) or service team (Brian & Adam) worked to excess or expectations. The dining room manager (Prince) was conscious of everything happening in the room he took time to speak to the guests to ensure all of their need were met. "

  • "I visited my father in Palm Beach area and wanted to have a special and elegant brunch. The Breakers did not disappoint! The setting is very elegant and bright and tables were not too close so you could enjoy your own party. Food was excellent, we especially enjoyed the seafood and the desserts were fabulous. I have not had such good service for a long time. The harpist was a nice touch. We will definitely go back. Pricey but worth it!"

  • " I've been in this industry for while now, but no place can't even compare to The Circle Brunch. I know what it's mean to have the right service staff & also the crème de la crème. The buffet was like heaven, everything I ever wanted from a buffet was there. I don't even like buffet, but breakers making me having second thought. From the season key west stone crabs to white sturgeon caviar.. Individual lamb chop, yet dessert was even more incredible. Thank you Mauricio, Prince, Lockdown, Zara, Yvette, and Carlos. The staffs were so professional. Attentive, perfect word to describe my experience INCREDIDBLE... I'll be there every sounds as long I'm in Florida. And Mauricio made it that much more special. Thank you for been so genuine. "

  • "We had a 1:30 reservation and I know it's close to the 2:00 cutoff time, but I think they stop making certain foods to early. There were people just sitting down at 1:45 and I noticed there were some foods that were not available to them."

  • "I had a special birthday that I wanted to celebrate there. It was perfect as usual. Food and atmosphere is the best. Looking out on the ocean eatting and listening to a harp player. What better way to celebrate. Champagne and caviar, my favorite."

  • "Excellent brunch. Wide choice of culinary delights. Great service too. It is not inexpensive, but it is worth it."
    Dined on 3/23/2014
  • "The setting and food are top notch. The service NOT. The lobster, shrimp and caviar were wonderful and served icy cold, as they should be. The prime rib, should have been hotter, but was delicious as well. The dessert buffet was a chocolate lover's heaven. One better than the other. But the service was so disappointing. Our waitress was very attentive for 10 minutes, then all but disappeared. We had to ask twice for water. The dirty buffet dishes stacked up on our table four deep, and we could find no one to take them away. We had to search for someone to bring us coffee, then she brought only 1 cup. For $95 a person, the service should have been as good as the food."
    Dined on 3/23/2014
  • "Truly the most fabulous brunch I've been to in years. I think just sitting in the Circle room is worth 25% of the cost. If you don't care for seafood, caviar, or sushi there are still options but I might not pay the price. The dessert bar was out of this world."
    Dined on 3/16/2014
  • "We enjoyed a lot the large choice of seafood, meats, salads, etc. Everything looked good and tasted good as well.We appreciated the ambience of the dining room and the super service we had from every member of your staff. Children are welcome and they received a great attention. Sharing this brunch with family or friends is a wonderful experience. After the meal, it is really pleasant to browse in the boutiques and the Gardens of the Hotel. It is a plus. We will surely come back on our next visit in the Palm Beach area."

  • "De la réception au départ,la gentillesse est transcendante. Merci pour toutes Ces attentions. La qualité est au rendez-vous et en fait une expérience inoubliable. L'exclusivité du caviar rend votre brunch un endroit à fréquenter régulièrement,de même que le corvino ,ce poisson Exceptionnel. C'était notre deuxième visite en un mois,et ce ne sera pas la dernière ..."

  • "Brunch is excellent if you enjoy champagne, bloody marys etc. because they are included in the price and there is no limit to how much you drink. But if you do not drink alcohol then breakfast in the Circle Room any day of the week (Sunday until 10:00am), even though the choice is not as extensive as at brunch, is an excellent option and much cheaper."
    Dined on 2/23/2014
  • "Expensive and that wasn't an issue for me at all. I have spent more at other well known restaurants like The Inn At Little Washington, Volt etc. and thought they were worth every penny. Well stocked with items but the food was fair at best. There wasn't a single item that I couldn't find on a cruise ship buffet. The service station was set up right next to our table so we got a constant view of bussers and servers rushing everywhere. Then the guy who was wearing shorts a t-shirt and flip flops. Maybe in Palm Beach this is resort casual. Maybe they should enforce a dress code of some kind. After spending over $500 for a party of 4 I wish I would have just taken my parents to the grounds walked around."

It is an event and we are never rushed and catered to like a king and queen. We have never been disappointed. Our waiter Tabira was outstanding and always there if we wanted something."
