"Delicious, fresh and thoughtful food, interesting menu. I'm really glad that David Fhima still serves his famous tagines. One of us had the vegetarian and another had the lamb tagine. They were fragrant and simply wonderful. The server went out of his way to make our table of 5 feel welcome and informed without being overbearing. All in all, a terrific experience."

"We went there for easter brunch. The ambience was great. The settup of the various stations was nice. The food was filling and plenty. The desserts were excellent. The ham was great. The steak station was nicely set up and the meat was nice and juicy and tender, though it could have used more salt. I had poached eggs, which were a bit overdone. My family had an amazing omlette - a-ma-zing flavor. The hostess who greeted us was very nice and they were very accomodating when I called to change the timing of our reservation, but our server didnt seem like she enjoyed her job or helping us have a good time."

"Easter brunch was good but not exceptional especially for the price paid which was at the upper end of brunches. Service was decent. Probably check out someplace else for our next brunch. Not that this was bad, but not memorable."

"Easter Brunch. We had made a reservation and had asked for a window view so that my 90-year old dad could see the park. Apparently, our table of three couldn't be accommodated with the best views--those were saved for bigger parties. But the gracious concierges went out of their way to make certain dad could see the park--even though not in the main dining room. It wasn't perfect but their warmth made up for the "rules" and dad rolled with it. He particularly LOVED the food and ate just about everything in site--particularly the elegant little desserts--which were a perfect choice. My husband and I thought the omelets quite delicious. We love FACES and are fans because of its support of local farmers. It's one of our top choices."

"The Easter brunch experience from start to finish was one of the best I've had, and my dining companions would agree. Having the vegetable omelet made to order (rather that sitting in a heated pan on the buffet) was genius--I would come back to the restaurant just for omelet! French toast, moist and fluffy--didn't need a thing to dress it up. Coffee at drinking temperature--not scalding--and of high quality---absolutely wonderful! The desserts--out of the park for appearance flavor, texture. The strawberries (both in chocolate tuxedos and for dipping in the chocolate fountain) were so huge you needed to eat them with fork and knife! The chocolate--very high quality-- (to die for)....definitely coming back!"
