    I have been to the one in Alexandria and loved it as I do this one. Caroline was a great waitress ans the food was delicious. I loved paying for the valet parking online but I did notice that the app says we could pay cash. When I tried to pay cash, the attendant said that option needed to be removed because it is not really an option. This needs to be corrected

    Everything was great but the food at the buffet was lukewarm. Breakfast potatoes were dry even after refilling. I would come back but not for the brunch buffet.

    I had THEE BEST TIME at Hen Quarter! The food was delicious and the venue is so chic and fabulous- the perfect dinning experience. Service was 10/10 with the wait staff being exceptionally knowledgeable about ingredients and THE FOOD was so tasty and perfectly paired with the cocktails and mimosas! Love this place- it’s now my new favorite! And the best part was Server Ashley, who was so kind, experienced and professional! I wont gatekeeper her but I’m definitely asking for her by name next visit!!!

    Had a good brunch experience. The crab legs were the star of the show along with raw oysters. Nice day to sit outside where they were able to adjust the umbrellas for us. The food was delicious but sometimes I wish they had more variety for brunch. Don't get me wrong there great options but sometimes change it up. I do like the fact they added old fashioneds and other drink options to the drink package.

    I recently attended the grande brunch Buffett for Easter. There was a good variety of food offered and it was all good! We also enjoyed the bottomless mimosas. The most impressive part was the service which was impeccable. Overall, a very good value and excellent brunch option.

    We enjoyed a girlfriends-who-lunch afternoon at Hen Quarter Prime. Saturdays and Sundays from 9-3:30pm are for buffet brunch, but since we weren’t that hungry, we asked if we could order a la carte. The chef accommodated our special request. The food was tasty—we tried all the starters—seasoned well and decent portions. Our server, PJ, was warm, attentive, and had good suggestions. We left happy.
