The buffet offers the classics; omelets made-to-order, waffle station, composed soups and salads, chilled poached shrimp, oysters and crab claws and more. The carving station features herb crusted prime rib, roast turkey, and honey glazed ham. Indulge in the expansive dessert station highlighted by macarons, cupcakes, and an attended pie station.

    I love Royal Palms - the setting is beautiful and staff is second to none. For this Mother’s Day brunch the service was excellent as usual, the setting was good, nice live music, food was good, not great, but there was a wonderful selection. My only real complaint was the cost. The whole experience was not worth $930 for a family of four. I will for sure go back, but not likely for another Mother’s Day brunch.

    Insanely expensive Easter Buffett that should have included the top. Poor service and needed to tip on top of the 175 pp cost. I’m sure getting employees not work on a holiday is tough but this was a rip off and barely had any employee attention and we love the Royal palms!

    This was the best buffet that we have ever gone too and we have gone to many. Everything was top quality, food was delicious, service was impeccable, and the ambience was lovely. Tables were spaced far apart so that it made you feel that you had your own private table. The service staff were very attentive but not making you feel like you were being rushed or needed to hurry up and leave. We sure hope that they have this buffet next year.

    Thanksgiving brunch was excellent. It was a beautiful set-up, service at the highest level from the greeters to servers, and amazing food. The waffle station was a huge hit for the kids, and it was nice to have a kids-favorite area with chicken fingers, pizza, and fries. Not to mention donuts and croissants. There was a nice assortment of greens, veggies, and grains to accompany the carved meats, as well as traditional potatoes, beans, brussel sprouts, etc. The seafood (super jumbo prawns and oysters) and sushi were nice touches. Dessert included three pies and a couple smaller selections, like macarons, cheesecake and chocolate mousse. These were all divine even when impossible to finish after all the food! Definitely a high price tag but if you're up to splurge for a once a year special event, this is the way to go.

    The service was great. All the different foods from the oysters Rockefeller to the turkey and prime rib, to the amazing seafood were outstanding. A little pricey but well worth it.
