    Honestly, it was horrible. We waited in line for 20 minutes because they had no thanksgiving food. My wife got sick from the oysters, our server actually asked us how the Bloody Mary bar worked. Not impressive and extremely overpriced. Not to mention that the table was dirty when we sat down. Very sad presentation and experience.

    When booked Thanksgiving Brunch was to have live music during. I even looked up the group to see if I would like them... There was no music, which was VERY disappointing since we drove all the way from Hilton Head to have something different for the holiday. There were also no pies for dessert - very odd for turkey day!

    We had a 3pm reservation. There was not enough food left. The service was horrible and rude. They wouldn't replenish food because they said it was almost over. We had just arrived for our reservation time. Very disappointing. The food we did get was not great quality.

    We were coming from another state and decided to book this experience without knowing anything about it. When we arrived, we had no idea where this ballroom was. We found a place to park and decided to walk around and ask and finally someone told us that it was inside the Marriot. For future listings parking directions and specifics on the location would be helpful. The ladies at the hostess stand were very sweet and gave us a great table location. Our waitress was nice, but told us up front that she would be our waitress, but was there to do “literally nothing”. Her words. She did bring my husband a coke and took away dirty dishes, but never offered any refills and we didn’t see her again. The food wasn’t great and disappointing for the price we paid. $83 per person plus a 20% fee for booking through Open Table and we could only Book through open table online. The turkey was good, the prime rib was very fatty. The sides were just blah. The best thing was the omelette station and the chicken tenders on the kids bar. It was a lovely space and the people were nice, but we won’t do this event again.

    The food was very nicely prepared and there was something for everyone. I just wish there were more green vegetables. With that said, I was able to use salad as my vegetables as the salads were delicious. Our server was just okay. I don’t think she is a regular server as her knowledge and explanation of how to navigate the event was limited. However, she had a wonderful personality which made up for her less than perfect presentation. A delicious Thanksgiving meal with the best view in Savannah will ensure us coming back next year if offered.

    A little over priced but nice job on the food. The staff was better than expected. I was surprised a mimosa was not included in the brunch cost. Very open ballroom atmosphere which I didn't love but it was ok. Again best staff I've encountered in a long time.

    We planned to have Thanksgiving here while traveling to Savannah on vacation. Our expectations weren’t high because we weren’t familiar with the venue, and weren’t home. We were blown away! There were far more choices than we could even try. Although we made a valiant effort! The food was truly very very good! Some of the best prime rib and smoked turkey I’ve ever had. The service was over the top. We didn’t miss our home Thanksgiving at all with this spread and service! We might make this an annual trip!

    The tables were shaky and small. The pepper too large for the holes. I received no actual bill or receipt upon finishing the meal and couldn’t remember if i paid in full. The server inquired, said it was taken care of and I asked how much gratuity was included? He said I think 8%? So I gave him an extra $20 in cash. The gratuity was 20%. Everything in general was fine. We were happy to have food and not cook it.

The serving areas were kept spotless. Our server was extremely attentive and pleasant. All of the staff present were excellent. We would highly recommend this to everyone.

    This was a last minute reservation I was able to make on a last minute trip. After doing a little research on where to brunch on Mother’s Day, this location came recommended by several websites. I felt pretty lucky being able to grab a reservation at 2pm (only thing available). Upon arrival, we were greeted promptly, and my wife was given a beautiful rose for the occasion. We were walked to our table and a personalized name tag was placed on the table as well. To this point, it would be the only positives of this experience. After being sat, we were greeted 15 minutes later by a gentleman who advised us our server was busy and he would bring us water, in the meantime. He said we could get up whenever we wanted to begin the buffet. While my wife and I took turns going to the buffet (we had our 3yr kid with us), the same gentleman returned 10 minutes later saying he would be our permanent server. I had a double Jack ($24) and my wife had the bottomless mimosas ($20). The mimosa was ALL Oj. It was terrible. The food was mediocre, at best. Perhaps it was the fact it was 225pm and it was nearing the end of the buffet event, but the selection was limited, and what was available, looked like leftovers. The only thing worth the plating was the brisket. This was delicious and fresh. My son had some pre-breaded chicken fingers with stale fries. The “fresh” fruit that we had intended on feeding him was at room temp and translucent from sitting there all morning. There were ZERO side options in this buffet. It was all main servings. I eat out, a lot, and I cannot remember one buffet that did not include some sort of potato or rice option. The dessert station was labeled as “assorted desserts”. It was basically a “guess what you’re eating” selection. We could even hear the surrounding tables trying to guess the different types of dessert. I have a nut allergen and basically had to avoid eating any dessert because nothing was labeled. This was a complete disappointment.

    Plant Riverside did a wonderful job setting this up for Mothers Day! The food was Fantastic, and it was decorated so pretty! I am however very disappointed to report that we had just awful service. Our server literally had 4 tables right around us and we watched as she lingered at just one table. I was never given the complimentary beverage, had to ask three times for straws and never got refills. We had a party of 6 and with it being buffet, all she had to do was refill drinks and clear plates. She did NONE of the above and we had to seek out another associate to get our bill because we could not locate her. I will absolutely go back in hopes of a better server. But it did make for a less enjoyable start to our Mothers Day celebration. What a Bummer!

    Table service was slow. Did not seem to have enough staff to properly serve people. Management was bussing tables. Received a final bill without itemization. Added a 20% tip only to wonder later if the tip was included in the bill. Still feel as though I might have double tipped. Table was wobbly. Food was excellent and abundant. Selection was great.

    The ambiance was very nice. Watching the ships go by was great. While the food was very good it would have been nice to be able to create an entire meal out of all the offerings. The veggie choice was salad or broccoli and the only starch was mac-n-cheese. For the cost, we did expect more. The desert options did not disappoint at all. Over all, we would boom again.

    The band was more like a professional company than a gospel group. Which would have been fine, but the sound was SO loud that it was painful. That completely took away from being able to enjoy the music. The food was plentiful and the mimosas handcrafted.

    We have done this event in the past and it was wonderful: this year was terrible. Food was the same as you would receive at a hotel free breakfast. French toast was terrible. Mediocre at best. Will not be returning next year. They weren’t even playing Christmas music!

    disappointed was our feeling leaving this event. We understood it was a breakfast buffet so hopes were not high but was hoping that since this was a JW hosted event it would be slightly elevated. Nope, just your very basic breakfast that I could've gotten at the Holiday Inn down the road. Thankfully Santa and his elves were top notch so that made it worth it. First time parents doing this event so maybe we were more excited than we should've been but my wife wanted to leave before we even sat down because it was so lame. 18% auto gratuity for no service at all is unbelievable as well. Host brought us to a table and then didn't say anything. We sat around for at least 3-5 minutes (there was only one other table in there also, not busy) and then had to ask the host what the service was. We had two separate people take our plates that I would've been happy to throw away myself. I guess this is what $60/person gets you nowadays. Nothing.

    Latronda was excellent. She took over when the initial waitress was not able to meet our accomodations. Please give her an outstanding service award. I can't wait to go back to my job at GA Ports to tell and invite my coworkers for the JW holiday experience. The food was delicious, the jazz band, and ambiance was more than I could ask for. My mother and daughter are ready for me to rebook for next year.
