   Food was great, pork burnt ends are over the top. Service and ambiance were fantastic. Would recommend.

   Beautiful remodel on a classic Eugene restaurant. Sadly, food was lacking. Incorrect information regarding Sunday hours for brunch, posted on the website. Tiny lunch menu, very small selection of lunch items. Very overpriced. Slow, slow, slow service. I do want to give huge compliments to our server, who tried his best to make a bad situation, better. My menu item charges were removed from our bill and I appreciate that. But, sadly, I ended up leaving hungry. I would have preferred a delicious, meal, served promptly in a beautiful restaurant. Can not recommended, which is sad because in its better times, it was my favorite place. Please try to bring your restaurant up to your glory days of fine dining

   Was hoping for a post marathon breakfast only to find out that they stopped serving breakfast at 11am, 10 minutes before we arrived. When asked, the manager was adamant that it was lunch only. We accepted it, but it seemed like others around us that arrived at the same time were able to get breakfast. To make things worse, it took an hour our food, even though the restaurant didn’t seem too busy. Probably would pass if we’re back in town in the future.

   Good in general. Menu is very small. The food it’s ok. Very nice view in front of the river. The place is clean inside of a good Hotel

   It was so disappointing. It took 15 min to get a waiter, 20 min to get a glass of wine and 40 min to get appetizers (one was just cheese and bread). Table next to us who came 15 min after hs got everything right away. They kept saying the kitchen was backed up but it didn’t make sense. I asked for tuna rare and it came fully cooked. Food didn’t have a ton of flavor either. Waiter was super nice and apologized and comped a glass of wine and the tuna which was very nice but we were really expecting a different experience

   The atmosphere is great. The food was slow and cold. The bread was pretty stale. We’ll give it one more try- maybe lunch but not breakfast. Hopefully it was just a bad day

    We were very disappointed in our experience. When we made a reservation there was no mention that you could order from the menu only until 10:00 and after that food was only available at the buffet for $59 per person. Our reservation was at 10:15. Not only was it expensive, it was also cold or barely lukewarm. Our server was great but we felt sorry that she had to explain about the buffet to others who came after us and were surprised that they could not order from the menu. Not a good experience at all. We would like to hear back from you about why we weren’t informed about the buffet cost when we made our reservation.

    HI Kathleen, thank you for your review. Our apologies for the miscommunication concerning the lack of menu offering in Sweet Waters on Easter. You can be sure we will be very clear moving forward. Hopefully you remember meeting me in the lobby upon your departure. I did reach out to you on the email you supplied me with yesterday. We want to make this right and get you back to experience Sweet Waters as you should have yesterday. I hope to hear back from you Sincerely, Jim Hollister
