"Generally the food at Winterthur is topnotch. For instance, their salad bar during the week has interesting options and is fresh even toward 2:00. On Easter Sunday we were at the last seating and unfortunately the items in the chafing dishes looked like leftovers and some things listed on the menu had run out. The service was good, and the beauty of the surroundings overcame our disappointment. We will be back, knowing that Winterthur will continue to strive to offer a quality experience."

"My only complaint would be that the server asked us many times,if we were ready for our check.....I understood that the next seating would be at 2:30 ???, and he started asking by by 11 am, during our 10:30 seating....looking around the dining area all the other tables were eating, just as we were, and was evident that we were not delaying the next seating, in any way.
We even gave him a generous tip, though his job was mainly filling the water; offering clean utensils, and bringing our group of 3, the one glass of champagne we asked for."

"The Winterthur brunch provides a nice set of cold items and a few good hot items. The omelets were excellent with a variety of ingredients available. The desserts were almost too attractive and it was impossible to sample all of them. Service was prompt when required.

The view of the gardens beckons for an after meal walk.
It would have been nice to have a choice of hot items beyond pasta and salmon."

"Nice setting for a good brunch if you are going to visit the fabulous museum. The hot offerings are limited (basically omletes made to order and waffles) and not always hot (you would think they could invest in a proper steam table or heat lamp to keep the hot offerings hot). The other offerings (fruit, cheeses, and deserts) are very good. If you are looking for a great brunch, you can do better elsewhere, but if you are planning a visit to the museum (you should), the brunch is a good value and nice way to start your visit."
