    Service was great by the water boy. Server was pleasant enough. No offer for hand grated Parmesan on a Parmesan pasta dish, which was also way too oily. Shrimp was a bit too overcooked. Food was overall neutral and not anything any of us would rush back to or give a glowing recommendation to. We asked to stay inside restaurant because of concerns for it being too sunny out on the patio, yet we were seated in a sunny spot on the inside of the restaurant, despite stressing our concern. They did offer to pull a shade down, but the sun was still quite high at 5:30 P.M., so the shades helped but did not block the radiance of the sun.

    We had Easter brunch here today and when I say it exceeded my expectations it far exceeded them. This is our first Easter away from family and we typically do higher end buffet Easter brunches and I have to say this was by far the best. The carving station was perfect, the food was hot, the desserts were delicious, the omelet station was in the kitchen so you ordered omelets from your server (great idea). Highly recommend 10/10 no notes. We are a family of 4, two boys ages 4 & 5 and they were very happy with the selection. Great brunch, thank you!

    It was an Easter buffet brunch that offered extensive choices in numerous categories of food - all of which were excellent. Presentations were professional and lively. Servers were excellent - friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and professional.

    From initial contact at Host stand I was impressed by the excellent service and attention. Seated within 5 minutes very nice table in the upstairs room greeted immediately by a server asked about coffee while we were waiting for family. Sage was our server she was very friendly Efficient and provided a five star experience!! Very smart decision by Management to avoid long waits for omelettes and eggs our order was taken by our server Sage while we filled our plate with so many great brunch items off the buffet. Great experience all around we Will be back next year thank you!!!

    It was our Anniversary. We have eaten at the Roycroft many times . We were very disappointed. They served focaccia bread that was very stale. The Ahi tuna didn’t even look like tuna . It actually had a lot of fat in it. I ordered the short rib dinner with fingerling potatoes and Brussels sprouts. The potatoes were hard, needed to be cooked more. The beef was tasty. My husband ordered the breaded pork cutlets he said were just ok. I brought home my dinner and will try to cook it at home. I do have to say that the manager and waitress were very concerned and the tuna was taken off the bill. The waitress brought me a serving of mashed potatoes to go. The service was excellent but until they get a new chef we will not be dining at the Roycroft again.
