   My husband took my daughter and I to the Mothers day brunch. We've been to an O&B restaurant in Toronto so I was looking forward to trying this restaurant in Blue Mountain. The staff were friendly, the restaurant was pretty but I felt it fell short for the food and cost. Nearly $80 per adult for brunch seemed a bit costly but there was a lot of variety. They seem to replenish most things but my husband missed out on the oysters (never saw it replenished after taking two for myself). The food wasn't super warm (although I think they were trying to fix this with lids halfway through), which one was missing a handle and I had to ask for help to open it. All that being said, we agreed we were paying for an experience. What really left a bad taste was the 20% tip they automatically rolled into the cost at the end. I thought that was very strange considering we maybe saw our server 3x in total, including when the bill was brought to us. For a party of 2 adults and 1 small child seemed a bit much. I understand this rule applies to parties of 6 or more and I couldn't find the fine print anywhere that implied that would be the case for our brunch. It should really be up to the patron to decide what would've been a good tip for the service. At the end, we tried it and likely won't be back. I really didn't think the cost was worth the visit.

   We went for brunch and it was amazing food and amazing service. They had a musician which wasn’t our cup of tea and was very loud so we sat outside. Beautiful patio through so we enjoyed!

   Hostess was fantastic. Adjusted reso. Switched us from buffet to a la carte. Came by several times to check how we were doing. She did that with every table.

   Lovely dinner experience, but parking was difficult and costly. Parking lot is rough shape, and not well maintained as well as . O & B should consider validating or refunding parking charges for those visiting from off property!

   We have enjoyed many past brunch experiences at Oliver & Bonacini however Easter Brunch this year was a major disappointment. The venue was in a large conference room and the brunch buffet was laid out in the hallway adjacent to the room. In the past it has been held in the intimacy of the dining room. Music was provided by a live musician but the amplification was so loud, our group of 5 could not carry on an easy conversation. There was ample food with good variety provided at the food stations but the value was not there at $80 pp. There was no bartender on staff for this occasion so mixed drinks were made by the servers who had to walk quite a distance to the main dining room kitchen to make and then service the drinks. We all agreed that we would not be returning to a buffet at this restaurant in the future. Our server was excellent.

   Food took a very long time and you could tell mine out of the 4 dishes sat under the heat for a long time. Hollandaise broke and eggs were over cooked. English muffin was soggy. We waited 40 minutes for breakfast so I was to hungry to complain. Won't be returning unfortunately. We used to love it

    The mac and cheese was nice but the chicken it comes with is gamey lacks flavour. Our server was fantastic and personable. The manager was pleasant and supportive.
