   The service and the atmosphere were perfect. Also child friendly! The food - I think what I liked best were the delicate flavors of ALL of the foods! The lemon curd, for example, had a hint of lemon rather than an overwhelming taste! The tea choices were also very nice and explained well by our server. Overall a lovely experience that i would surely do again!

   It is most appreciated to enjoy a meal in a quiet setting. Breakfast menu offers many options, service is attentive. Good food, interesting server, attractive environment that allows for conversation. Thank you.

   We were so looking forward to Easter Brunch Buffet. Just not worth the 75pp. The raw bar offerings is what drew me to make reservations the clams and oysters were shucked fairly far in advance as they must have been stacked in a,container waiting to be placed on ice no liquid remained in either and meat was flatteded out. The shrimp were large but translucent causing undesirable flavor and texture. Very small "buffet" not what expected at all.

   We went for Easter Brunch, (2 of us) 12 oclock resy, got situated, washed hands in restroom, grabbed plates and began the buffet around 12:20, Everything was great until we were handed our bill of 258 dollars at 1:35, and 'kindly approached' by the manager to finish up and leave because their 2:00 seating would be starting. My partner and I were completely shocked. We had no idea we were on their schedule or that there were 2 seatings. We jst sat down to dessert and had made plans to hit the buffet 1 last time. (Btw, we went up twice) So as polite as they were about escorting us out, we kindly gathered our things as I am putting on my coat with one hand, and trying to scarf down the dessert with the other that we still hadn't eaten and not satisfied at all. This will never happen again. We will not come back. I would suggest anyone going should know, that you are being clocked for buffet.. And you have about an 1hour to get it together. We left and went to Gran Cafe and enjoyed the rest of our Easter though...without the rush. So, Thank you Gran Cafe for the amazing gellato and appetizer and drinks, and the comfort to enjoy the rest of our Easter Sunday in your establishment without being watched and rushed.

   We went for the $75 price fixed Easter brunch. While there was nothing special about the food line up, it was all very good. I did expect more of the French theme, but it was standard American fare - Prime Rib, ham, salmon, chicken, short ribs, mac & cheese, fruits and cheeses, and a nice variety of desserts. Restaurant was about 2/3 full when we got there, but it took 10 minutes to see our waitress and another 15 minutes before the drink I ordered was delivered. It was a bloody Mary and was horribly salty. It also took some time for plates to get cleared from the table. There seem to be enough staff, so I’m not really sure why everything took so long. There were also numerous mixups. The website advertised a free glass of Prosecco, but the waitress didn’t seem to know anything about that, and had to go confirm with management in order to get that sorted out. The menu was misprinted. White wines were nonexistent, while red wines were listed under the white wine category. There was also a discrepancy between the automatic gratuity listed on the website, which was 18%, and the gratuity listed on the menu, which stated 20%. I think next year I’ll find someplace else to spend $225 on brunch for two people.

   Korine was exceptional. Hostess and all servers were incredibly nice. General Manager was a bit too over bearing, she kept on hovering over employees. The staff is amazing no need to micro manage them. Other than that scones could be bigger, tiny pieces for such a huge plate. Or change the tower size for single serve afternoon tea. 70$ for 1 person afternoon tea; be prepared to be hungry when done. This is probably the smallest portion afternoon tea I have ever experienced.

    Caught up with a friend over Afternoon tea-- which was wonderful. The food was delicious and Miguel was attentive and informative. I happened to find a travelzoo voucher which provided a nice discount and included a glass of champagne! Will do this again even without a coupon. Enjoyable afternoon.

    What a wonderful venue for a lovely afternoon tea. This was the perfect kick off to the Christmas season. We met for tea at two on a rainy cold Philadelphia day. We were warmed not only by the tea and our lovely waitress, Brooke, but also the delicious sandwiches scones and desserts. Looking forward to doing this again, in the future

    Upon walking into the dining area for tea, we were instructed that seating was in a certain area; then seated at a table with the tea box already set up with a dirty tea cup. The scones were cold and the portions very small. A waiter named Timothy was very kind and attentive. Not worth the value.

    The server was very professional and friendly. He knew all about his tea collections and food. The high tea overall was pretty good. The food quality would be a 4 out of 5. I wouldn’t mind returning but would definitely want to try elsewhere, especially after my friends all said other places were better.

    Our server was wonderful; very accommodating. I wanted the yogurt parfait which was not on the menu but I saw it online. The server told me, no problem and I got it. My friends ordered omelets and made some changes with sides. The server (male) certainly made the experience that much more enjoyable.

    Very disappointed. Chose Chez Collette for Mother’s Day breakfast and the restaurant was only offering their buffet which was not good. The servers were also overwhelmed and fighting with each other. I don’t blame them as much as I would whoever was staffing or allowing large parties to make reservations when the restaurant was incapable of offering good service.

    I searched here for brunch. Received confirmation & was excited to celebrate our engagement with close friends. My guests arrived before me & were told that it was the restaurants first day open and our reservation was canceled, they’d be happy to serve us tea not brunch. WHY WOULDNT SOMEONE CALL to inform us we did not have a reservation????? They sat my guests in the bar even though the restaurant was OPEN. When I asked to speak to the manager HE SAID IT was MY FAULT BECAUSE BRUNCH IS OVER AT 12 (not what the person that seated my guests said) and our reservation was for TEA. Excuse me, but where does it say “tea” ANYWHERE!? The fact that this “manager” told me it was my fault angers me and trust me I will NOT be back. No apology no “may I buy you a glass of wine? Etc” No SERVICE from this man. BUT I give credit where credit is deserved: Ed at the bar was AMAZING and he was so pleasant & kind to my guests that he is THE ONLY REASON WE STAYED. Ed should teach the “manager” how to treat guests
