So sad the building is changing tenants!! Go while you still can!! Sunday brunch was so good. Everything I had was divine. Biscuits & gravy, free mimosas, waffles with berries, chocolate dipped strawberries... The cheesecake tasted like it came out of a box but that's my one and only complaint. Staff were nice and attentive. (Thanks, Andy!) Buffet lines move quickly. Wondrrful!

While they say they are the "Best brunch in town", I would hate to try their lesser competition. But, first, the positives. It is a great location and building. A lot of character. A great view of the river and its dam. Weather permitting, you can dine outdoors. While the reception staff weren't the friendliest, the wait and buffet staff were. Now the negatives. The food was dry, old, and flavorless. The only thing that was decent ... not good but only decent ... was the ham dipped in a honey glaze. As for the rest of the all-you-can-eat brunch buffet.... Bacons was burnt and all clumped together. Sausage was so dry, you could use it to start a fire with. Waffles were premade, stacked in an unheated warmer, and tough to cut and eat. The "prime rib" was more beef roast. The smoked salmon did taste smoky but was cold, which would have been fine if placed on the salad bar table but not on the hot meat table thus expecting it to be at least warm. The mashed potatoes and brown gravy didn't have any flavor. The string beans only had a hint of flavor. The cinnamon rolls with icing tasted store bought, not fresh. No margarine offered. Only whipped butter. No honey offered for cornbread. Great food generates great tips. Bland food does the opposite. The restaurant management should have the wait staff sample ALL dishes before brunch opens AND after it closes. Both times and every time, ask wait staff if they agree or disagree with the first two sentences of this paragraph. Then ask for their honest opinions of the food served. Their reviews will be brutally honest BUT it will bring about much needed change.

Sunday brunch is amazing. There are so many great food options. Eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, pasta, prime rib, waffles (with many toppings to chose from), a large selection of veggies, fruit, pastries cakes and other deserts. Reservations are recommended because it can get quite busy. I have gone so many times and have never been disappointed.
