To start the service was incredible, all of the staff from servers to the stations were amazing. The food on the other hand was less than sub par. Our reservation was at 2:30pm, all of the food was extremely cold and the selections were limited due to the later reservation. In the future, I would never spend that much.

We decided to spend the high price for The Grand Ballroom Easter brunch but it was not worth it! Our reservation was for 2:30 pm and apparently much of the food had been sitting there from the beginning hours. The oysters smelled funny and we were reluctant to eat them, and much of the food looked hours old. With the price we paid, we would expect that the food would be refreshed for the late bookings. Also, at least one cocktail should be included in the high price. Ambiance was a hotel ballroom - stuffy. Not the quality experience we expected from the Ritz.

This was a nice Easter brunch. My only issue is that with the 2PM seating the food was almost gone and things were very messy at the buffet. For Thanksgiving, we’d gone to the 10AM seating. The buffet looked perfect and untouched. Overall, it was very nice!

We were excited to be at the Ritz again for another lovely ballroom affair, however it was off for some reason. This buffet didn't feel like it was up to The Ritz's usual nor were the people involved. Sadly, some of the fare was just not very good and they were not worth eating. They were pretty but not very good. We will probably look for other venues for our family for future special gatherings.

Longtime repeat guests of the holiday brunches and the quality and variety of food never disappoints. Gorgeous table scapes, grazing tables full of offerings from traditional brunch favorites and charcuterie to middle eastern, seafood towers, and pasta bars. Loved the sushi selection and welcome spritz! Unfortunately the service this year wasn’t up to par. Our server came by one time throughout the whole 2 1/2 hours we dined which left us very thirsty. We had asked for a steak knife and 38 minutes later we got it. At one point we came back to our table and a server had placed a dirty pile of dishes from another group on our table while she poured water for another table. Overall it was disappointing. Kids loved all the Easter extras and bunny visits!

Not enough staff waited 20 minutes for check and he repeatedly brought wrong check 3 times until he got it right, long buffet lines, and place was like a daycare kids screaming and running around. Not worth the price tag.
