    Nicely done for a golf course, I don't think they strive to be more than they are. Yet they actually could if they tried.

    Buffet marginal at best. Service team friendly and nice but not super attentive. Paper coffee cups not appropriate for a Sunday holiday brunch. Hoped for a better experience.

    We were disappointed with the Easter Brunch Buffet. Very expensive for food that wasn't that good, wasn't fresh and was all room temperature. We've had better buffets at hotels on the road. While I understand that it was a busy day, the service was lackluster. We were at our table for quite some time before anyone came to give us water or take our drink orders. We might give The Lawn another try on a regular day, but would definitely not recommend a holiday buffet.

    This was a great brunch. The bagel & lox was complete and fab. The coffee was good. Nice carafe of water on the table and good size glasses. Super waitstaff. Really, the only quibble is with the noise level, and even that wasn't terrible.

    Salmon was dry, and it had been cooked earlier and was sitting under a heat lamp or reheated in a microwave. Romesco sauce may have helped it, but they were very skimpy on the sauce. Very noisy.

    I have never had a less than wonderful experience at The Lawn. Have been there for lunch and dinner several times. Our server last evening, Ia, was attentive and efficient. Food was fantastic. Always love the atmosphere - whether sitting by the cozy fireplace during the winter or patio during the warm months. Highly recommend.
