   This Sunday brunch used to be my favorite by far! Now, with the changes in menu, increased prices and the problem with a gift certificate I was given for Christmas. NO MAS!! They insisted that it had already been used. It's a good thing the person who gave me the gift certificate for Christmas was there. She had to show proof even though I had the gift certificate card! and it took them over half an hour to straighten it all out. The gift card for $200 didn't even cover the cost of three people for brunch. There used to be a cappicino station, with croissants...GONE replaced with boxed cereal ! And the coffee was COLD! The dessert station replaced with individual desserts NOTHING like the pies of yesterday. The lobster mac and cheese had scant bits of lobster! The service on the patio was poor and had to keep trying to find our waiter even though there were only two other couples out there. Prehaps this icon has been sold to other owners. I will never go back to the once beloved brunch. If you bought a gift certificate there BEWARE! Extremely disappointed!!!!

   We did not have a good Easter Brunch experience. We have come to 94th Aero Squadron for decades and this was a bad experience. We found a large chuck of glass in our food within minutes of sitting down to eat. The server/manager was not at all apologetic and tried to minimize the issue which was unfortunate. The food was ok, but not on par for what they have done in the past. Carving station meat was overcooked and dry. We will not be going back.

   My husband and I have eaten at the 94th Aero Squadron, for many years. So I decided to make a reservation for Easter brunch. The food was great. The service from our waitress was great. The disappointing part was we did not have a table saved for us for our reservation. We were treated the same as walk in customers. The hostess wanted to seat us in a small, crowed table in the bar area. I refused to sit there. The only offer they had was for us to wait longer. My husband, who walks with a walker had to walk around the restaurant until finally a table was found. I also was upset by the treatment the hostess gave us. She was not kind and helpful. I had to insist we get a decent table. Granted, Easter is a crazy busy day. However, that doesn’t seem like a good excuse to treat customers who plan ahead to have a seat saved to be treated the way we were treated. I I hope, in the future, better planning is implemented on a busy, holiday Brunch/dinner.

   It was a holiday so the buffet was difficult to navigate.

   We had a great time for Easter brunch! We’ve gone to 94th Aero Squadron 2 years in a row for this holiday. Think we have a new tradition! Food was all great and we sat outside where we could watch the airfield next door.

   Horrible buffet. Went for the lunch buffet with my son. $30 per person and you pay before you sit down. The buffet is terrible. The beef was hard and non-flavorful. The fish of the day tasted like it was from yesterday. The mac & cheese and lobster was actually mac & cheese with imitation crab. The French onion soup tasted tangy. Only highlight was the steamed vegetables. I may try this place for dinner. The ambience is good. The staff is friendly. Avoid the buffet.

    A good, solid Buffett. Service was not great. Dished lied up and waters were never refilled etc and they force you to tip before you enter. Bad move. The. Raving stations we’re good and amazingly enough the eggs Benny had runny yolks which is so hard to do from haffing dishes. Sushi was great and the array of food was rock solid. Desserts were a bit of a let down. Good but not great. Overall a good experience. Having to pay before we we’re allowed in cheapens the affair and also let me guests know how much I paid. Which was not my intent and was not called for. Lovely place and we have enjoyed our times here in the past and will go again, but for dinner and not the Buffett. Price is on the high side and that who pay before you go in thing really set a negative tone.
