Food was good. Service was mediocre. Took a while for food to arrive. Wasn’t crowed at all. Waiter did attempt to resolve by providing us with a complimentary dessert, was appreciated. Can’t say I would frequent again. Not because of this, but because once I have visited a restaurant and wasn’t wowed, no need to visit again.

When I booked my Mother’s Day brunch I wasn’t aware of the buffet , the reservation just stated that it was a jazz brunch . When we arrive we was told that it was a buffet and no jazz brunch ! Walked up to the food it was cold , pastries had flies on it ! Very disappointed, I felt like it was a waste of money and I also felt like the reservation should’ve stated it was a buffet and no jazz band ! Probably won’t return !

Thank you for your feedback. I want to acknowledge your frustration, and we are truly disappointed that your experience did not reflect the standards we aim to uphold. If the reservation listed a "Jazz Brunch" without clarifying the buffet format or the absence of live music, that is a clear oversight on our part—and one we take seriously. We are reviewing the messaging across our platforms to ensure that all future event descriptions are transparent and accurate. I’ve addressed your concerns about the food items with our kitchen and service staff directly. It is essential that our guests are confident in our food quality and respected in the experience they paid for. I appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention. We are taking steps to make sure this does not happen again.

Our service was not fabulous. Also, when I made the reservation for Mothers Day brunch, it did not state that it was going to be a buffet. I specifically was trying to book a non-buffet meal. The food was decent, but there was not a huge variety.
Public ServiceResponded on May 11, 2025
Linda, Thank you sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We strive to provide clear communication around dining experiences. We regret if this was not conveyed during the reservation process. For Mother's Day, we offered a buffet designed to accommodate a variety of preferences, and we’re sorry it didn’t align with what you were hoping for. Regarding the comment about variety and service, we’re surprised to hear this as we received overwhelmingly positive feedback from other guests about both. That said, we take all feedback seriously and will review your comments internally to ensure our standards remain high. If you’d be willing, we’d love to follow up with you directly to learn more and hopefully restore your confidence in us.

We selected this location for a special Mother's Day Brunch - and we weren't disappointed! Service was stellar & they treated all the moms at the table like royalty. Free champagne for all the moms, excellent omelet station & even the babies (22 mos & 9 mos) enjoyed the food. And side bar - NOPSI is a gorgeous hotel! Definitely planning a return visit!

We booked this restaurant for Easter jazz brunch. We were greeted immediately, given an excellent table and our service was prompt, responsive and friendly throughout our experience. The restaurant itself is beautiful, romantic date setting. The main dishes on the brunch menu however were bla . The food was mediocre. Just not what we expected. The pancakes did have a tasty vanilla flavor and the cappuccino was balanced and bold. The menu deserves some jazzing up- especially on Easter.

We ordered a pastry board that was listed on the brunch menu to find that several of the pastries had mold on them. The manager apologized and later the executive chef called and left me a voicemail but it was still shocking. I feel sick thinking about it as I ate a muffin before realizing several items had mold on them.

Promptly free and seated. Met the waitress. Downhill from there. I had a glass of wine. My favorite, however the glass smelled so I couldn’t drink the portion I was given. I don’t think the bartender actually knew how to make a margarita either. I’ve had my fair share and it was by far the worst. Food was wonderful. Crab cakes and 2 dinners of the shrimp and grits. It was delicious. Other than the portion of the serving, which was enough to feed a small army, I had no complaints. For the cost, I expected so much more.

Had a group of 6 eat on a Thursday night with a reservation at 6:45. The fact that we were the only table in the restaurant all evening tells the story. People are not eating here unless they are staying at the attached hotel. It is a beautiful place... but the food was bland, some hot foods were served cold... cold enough to have come directly from a refrigerator. The young men serving really didn't know how to keep drinks filled or ask us if we need anything, etc., they disappeared unless we flagged them down. It still took 2 hours to complete our meal when we were the only ones there. Right as we were leaving, a couple sat at the bar. Maybe that really is what it would be good for. We spent $260 for 6 people with no alcohol, including 2 sandwiches, a salad, and 3 entrees. No go from this foodie.
