    My granddaughter bravely tried the Bananas Foster and she loved it. We left a sweater there and returned quite late in the day and were delighted the staff member remembered us and knew exactly where to locate her sweater. Overall a wonderful experience for us.

    Server was wonderful, quality of everything else was basically like a Denny’s in a nicer but dated setting. Value is terrible. There are 200 better places to spend this kind of money to eat actually delicious food. The “scampi” pasta was buttered noodles with under seasoned and over cooked shrimp. The burger, ordered medium rare, happy to accept pink and bloody, but purple, slimy, and cold center is not acceptable.

    My daughter and I enjoyed a Sunday brunch of terrific berries and pancakes and a dish of eggs and bacon. We asked for a window seat and we seated where we wanted. The waitress and hostess were friendly and attentive. A very nice experience I hope we repeat in the future.

    Out first time having brunch at this restaurant and it was excellent. Pancakes were fluffy and the pretzel croissant sandwich had was perfect with that philly taste. We will be going here for brunch going forward and really consider dinner on our next visit.

    The restaurant appears to have tried to update but it looks strange. Some of the paint and decor does not match the time period of the building or the ambiance at all. The menu has changed and been made simpler. It is food is good but is run of the mill, it could be ordered at any continental breakfast and not necessarily worth going there for. We went for the elegant decor, atmosphere, and food but none of that was really there anymore.

    I have been to brunch at XIX many times over the past 10-12 years, but this was my first visit in a couple of years. It was just kind of disappointing. The menu is all over the place and not very interesting. The food took forever to come out despite the restaurant being not busy at all. It's sad that the main dining area is now reserved for private events only. The grandeur of what was once the best hotel in Philadelphia has certainly faded. I don't think I will be returning any time soon.

    I have never written a review but this was very frustrating-and actually sad. We’ve attended for Mother’s Day brunch since our 17 year old was in a car seat sleeping under the table. Historically it was an incredible experience with no close competitor. Traditional breakfast options to sushi, raw bar, meats and cheeses and dessert tables that were amazing were all available. I made the reservation in March (because if you didn’t, you’d miss out). When I arrived it was seating in only one room, no buffet and an a la carte menu that was average at best. I was told by the manager when we arrived that they called me on 5.11 & 5.12 telling me it’s no longer a buffet or what we were accustomed to. In fairness, I did have the voicemail but missed the message. And with 3 days notice I would have had very few other options for the family. Service was poor, food was missing items from the menu description. Honestly it seemed like they were very short staffed or the kitchen was a “B team”. I hope they get back to a pre-COVID experience. Over the years, we’ve included our parents, grandparents and kids in a great tradition at a special place. I hope it comes back as we all knew it before.

    The wait time for the food is ridiculous. We ordered breakfast into brunch and it took over an hour for our food to come. It was leftovers from the breakfast buffet. The restaurant needs to shut down. The food is below subpar. Seven bucks for a tablespoon of milk and a tea bag for a London Fog? No way. Poached eggs when only one comes out poached? Our server Jason was kind but then someone else came out with the food and he smelled so bad and had dirt all over of his shirt. He was huffing and puffing as he put down the food. I am extremely disappointed, this is the worst $100 I spent in my life. Please avoid at all costs. The area is gross, carpet needs to be removed. They claim to be the highest restaurant in Philly- but they are not and the views are certainly not it. What a shame!

    Hard to imagine that this is the dining room of the once-great Bellvue Stratford. Hardly a luxury brunch, basically, a decent breakfast for a mid-tier hotel. To make my point, they had a very nice breakfast hamburger; they did not have egg-benedict, fancy omelets, or anything else that you would associate with a Sunday brunch. There is no reason to eat here unless you were unfortunate enough to stay at the hotel, and there is no reason to stay at the hotel. Since the hotel desk could not make brunch reservations for hotel guest I would assume that they are just subletting space.

    Celebrating a promotion and Easter Sunday. What a wonderful experience this brunch was! There was so much to choose from, there was something for everyone. I had one plate from the main buffet area. Once I got to the raw bar I never left. The oysters were at peak freshness, I can’t tell you how many I had. The staff were excellent and made sure we enjoyed our experience. Any expectation I had was met and then I got a little more. Will definitely be doing this again.

    15 out of 10! We almost went elsewhere after reading lots of bad reviews on here, but our experience was perfect and we’ve already recommended 19 to friends. The room and views are beautiful, the food was fantastic and large portions, and the service and warmth and politeness of the staff (hostess, busser, and our waiter, Chris) made us feel so special! My husband and I also agree that our Bloody Mary’s were the best we’ve ever had. We’ll be back for sure!

    I think I was just disappointed that many of the selections that we’re on the menu were not available. None of the brunch cocktails were available. Instead, their choices were only bloody Mary or Bellini’s. Additionally, their only choice of tea was earl, gray and green tea. Unfortunately, the water for the tea was not hot either it was just lukewarm. Ultimately, the service was very good and the ambience was beautiful. We happen to go when there was an overcast day but that did not spoil the beautiful view
