   Service was lacking, even for a buffet. Never received a refill on my water during the whole meal. I think it's expected post covid many service jobs are struggling. Some food was amazing, others were cold and hard.

   The Mothers Day buffet was awesome! My only complaint was that I asked for whipped cream for my crepe and was given a huge dollop of whipped butter. Not sure why the man serving me didn’t know the difference.

   Orchid Court did a great job with their Mother's Day Brunch. A huge array of selections, all well-prepared. They were busy and had lots of staff so service was great. Though the price was nearly $100 per person, the choices of high-end options provided excellent value. I could not have had a dozen oysters, crab claws, etc. etc. (including lobster claw eggs benedict) without running up a tab of $100! Well done Orchid :-)

   Food was excellent. Only suggestion...get new tongs. NOTHING fit in them, it was impossible to get the desserts off the trays, and food kept falling out of them. They look nice but do not function at all.

    This was Easter brunch at the Orchid Court, so probably not representative of a typical experience there. My date and I dressed up nicely expecting a special brunch for the holiday. Instead we were tossed into a sea of people in bathing suits and beach cover-ups acting as if the place was about to run out of food. Loading up plates in both hands and balancing more on their forearms, determined to grab and consume as much food as possible, as quickly as possible. Children standing next to their family tables shoveling cake into their mouths with their hands. It was awful. I felt sorry for the people who work there. My advice is to steer clear of any fixed-price, all-you-can-eat events here unless a food stampede is what you are seeking. The food I had (mahi-mahi, broccoli and some fresh fruit) was good in an institutional way, prepared in advance and offered from chafing dishes or chilled displays. I imagine that dining a la carte here would be pleasant.

    Outstanding dining experience. We enjoyed a birthday brunch for my sister in law. Everything and everyone was absolutely terrific. The cuisine and setting were superb; we’re a bit on the “coffee snob” side and the coffee was excellent! Highly recommended! Dr. Scott Williams

    We had Sunday brunch at 10. This restaurant suffers from being short-staffed, though staff are all friendly and nice, shortages, they ran out of pancakes and orange juice. Coffee and fresh omelets were great, they did have nice papaya at the fruit station. Hot items were only OK, Asian items only included 1 steamed dim sum choice which was plain pork filling, fried noodles which didn't have much in the way of protein, and miso soup.

    I’ve been here one time when they had a doctors conference. The food was great , the buffet was a true buffet. You could go back as many times as you like. I love it and being a retired Fire Captain that’s pretty picky about his food. It’s a hidden gem for Sunday brunch.

    I am bummed they did not offer the buffet due to Covid. I ordered the Benedict; one of the egg was over cooked. They did offer to make me a new one and rush is out. A server knocked water over and my English muffin got wet on the bottom. Again they offered to make me a new plate, but I didn’t want to waste food. The food was nicely plated. The view was breathtaking. I will come back for the buffet.

    Booked a table for dinner on Valentine’s Day. It turns out the restaurant is only open for breakfast. Sent us scrambling for another dinner spot. It all worked out but it could have been a terrible evening. This restaurant needs to change their table availability to mornings only.

    Aloha Eysha, thank you for taking the time to share your review! We regret that you encountered this experience during Valentine's Day. Your feedback is valuable to us and we've ensured that moving forward availability reflects only the morning hours of operation. We're very glad to hear that everything worked out and hope that you will join us again in the future. Warmest mahalo - Marcel Mundel, Director, Food & Beverage

    Upscale breakfast venue at the Fairmont Hotel on Hawaii. Open air, lots of seating, and high end selections in a buffet area. Expensive but excellent quality at a luxury resort.

    Seating area is between buildings with little air movement and no view. Sounds like they’re moving the restaurant upstairs, which may be an improvement. Food is varied and plentiful but average.

    The reservation on open table asked if we wanted a table inside or outside. Since it was very windy I checked off inside. When we arrived there was no one at the reception desk. Then the manager told us that they only seat outside. The service was poor and since they moved our table into a corner, it was as if they forgot us. We kept waiting for refills for water and ended up getting a pitcher of water from a set up table for the servers. While my husband was getting the water pitcher our server actually walked right past him. I don't even think she saw him at all which is shocking. For such an upscale hotel and such an expensive dinner the evening was disappointing and we chose to eat here for our farewell dinner from the islands.

    Weather was bad so lots of walk up requests. Seating was nice bit indoor due to weather. Gyoza was okay though perhaps bladder than some. Amberjack was excellent as was the Chicken. Both were had with ginger soy sauce. Asparagus was wpexcellent. Wine list was generic. No aromatic white even with reasonable spice level. Service was outstanding. Portions were not large which was okay for us. A larger eater may want to order more sides

    Wait in the morning for breakfast is absolutely ridiculous. In order to bypass standing in line we used open table to make reservation. Monday morning we were able to book and reserve table but Tuesday morning the hostess said first come first basis and they would not take open table reservation. Fairmont- get your team on the same page and remove your restaurant from open table or adjust hours so you don’t frustrate your guests
