Fantastic Drag Brunch! Amazing event from the minute you walked in the door. From the people that greeted you with your reservation, to the hostess that sat us, to the staff at the Mimosa table, carving station and inside the venue, we received top notch customer service. The brunch offered a wide variety of options with traditional breakfast items, as well as ceviche, shrimp cocktail, lox and bagels, a variety of salads and a carving station with prime rib and ham. Desserts were over the top with too many to mention. The drag show was well done with some many talented drag queens and even a king, the highlight being the most devalicious hostess. We have an truly amazing time. We will definitely be back again next year!!

Lovely brunch spread! Fancy desserts and a large variety of appetizers supported the main brunch fare. Service a bit slow picking up dirty plates but otherwise good. Buffet well stocked. Loved the photo booth.

Fabulous!! A very memorable salon-style fashion and afternoon tea event at the Garden Ballroom of the famous Fairmont Olympic Hotel! The talented host, model, fashion presentation, the food , the tea, the dessert, the live music, the guests, the local TV station and anchor, etc….. All weave together perfectly on this beautiful day of 4.26!! Highly recommend to have it again!! Can’t thank enough to the sponsors and all the heroes behind the scene to make it happen ❤️

We had an absolutely delightful time at the Fairmont Olympic's Jazzy Easter Brunch on Sunday, April 20, 2025. My wife Cheri, our sons Match and Chase, Match's girlfriend Leah, and our daughter Maisie joined me for what turned out to be a memorable family outing. The atmosphere was vibrant, with live jazz setting the perfect tone for a festive Easter celebration. The brunch spread was exceptional—fresh, flavorful dishes with a wide variety to suit everyone’s tastes, from savory to sweet. The staff were warm, attentive, and made us feel truly welcomed. The elegant setting of the Fairmont Olympic added a special touch, making it a perfect backdrop for our family’s holiday gathering. Maisie and Leah especially loved the macaroons, which had an added touch this year with our picture on them, taken at the event—a delightful and personalized surprise! Maisie also enjoyed the dessert station, and we all appreciated the lively music. Highly recommend this event for anyone looking to elevate their Easter Sunday with great food and joyful vibes!

Overall the event was executed very well. Details were thoughtful and ambiance was great. I think for the price, 1-2 drinks (mimosas/Bloody Mary’s) should have been included per person. Our party was a little surprised to see the cash bar when the details of the event online and in our email reminder made us believe drinks were included. The food was okay. A great selection of options but nothing was remarkable.

I always look forward to the Fairmont Olympic's Easter Jazz Brunch. They do a fantastic job in a beautiful setting. The Spanish Ballroom is all set up with the buffet in the middle and the jazz band to the right. Plenty of room to move about. Best items on the menu were the spring salad mix, the fresh fruit, the leg of lamb, the cornbread pancakes and the shrimp. Plenty of options for everyone... Our server was the best. Attentive, but not hovering. She kept us well stocked with things... The music this year was really good. Sometimes it can get loud, so I recommend sitting away from the band. The music still carries throughout the place... Beware of the square tables they use. The legs on this set up stuck out right where one sits. All three of us had to sit several inches from the table and at an odd angle to eat. We bumped the table every time we got up, thus spilling drinks... Another thing to look out for - Please, don't bring the bill when we're still eating. Not sure if this was a miscommunication, but the supervisor came over with his credit card reader wanting us to settle the drink bill even while we were chewing our food. In a 3/4 empty place, there is no need to rush and turn over the tables. I hate being handed my hat... Let me be the one to tell you "I'm ready for my bill now".

The experience was not what we envisioned whatsoever. The small food offerings were not up to Fairmont standard, nor were the included drink options with our package. As a previous Fairmont employee, I expected F&B offerings that were elevated, creative and worth the high end price of our tickets. The DJ was not engaged with the crowd whatsoever until 30 mins til midnight. With such a beautiful venue and ambiance, the space could have transformed to create a more memorable experience for guests. There also wasn’t security or proper check in procedures for said event. Multiple employees passed us and said nothing.

We did the Fairmont at home dinner for Christmas special. The food was delicious. We ordered for 2-4 people and had enough food for 6-8 Definitely a good option for someone interested in hosting a thanksgiving dinner but shy about the cooking.
