Great food and the service was good. My wife was excited that they had Coke products! My kids and I did the buffet and my wife had the Eggs Benedict. The buffet had a great selection of good food. The Eggs Benedict wasn't the best but it wasn't bad either. The hotel is really neat given its age and it is apparently haunted.

So I ate here because the original place I chose for breakfast was closed. I ordered the Farmhand Breakfast. My toast was hard and crusted all over the place. The eggs were dry (even though I request cooked easy) and flavorless. The bacon was a little hard. I wondered if they just put my stuff together off the buffet until I overhead staff say to another guest that the buffet was not open today. Overall it was edible and would do the trick but I'm on vacation and want more than just edible. My waiter was nice but I was a little grossed out when I could see his bare hands touching my food as he brought it to the table. I'm from Louisiana and so I appreciated the music, but this is not a restaurant we would want associated with the Crescent City.

Allison was the best server. How can you not enjoy the ambiance of one of the most haunted hotels in the world?? I had the brunch buffet with a made to order omelet. It was delicious. The potatoes were typical of buffet potatoes, meh. My husband ordered eggs Benedict off the menu. It was worth the price.

My daughter and I spent a girl few days in Eureka Spring, at the Basin and decided to got to the Crystal Room for breakfast. It was truly awful. The service was nice, but the food was ice cold. There was hardly any food to choose from. I really looked forward to having breakfast in this beautiful room, it was truly a disappointment. We won’t be back.

I really wish I could say that this beautiful hotel and dining room matches the quality and taste of the food, but it does not. Ravioli came out swimming in what tasted like dish water. Pasta with red sauce had no flavor. I love the crescent hotel and the ambience but the food scares me away.

Food was fine. However, when presented with the check, the server had to explain that the 18% that was added to our tip was not gratuity. It was for the bus boy and host, etc. So unfortunate. I would have left a 20% tip for our server, However, the bill was already more than I had planned on. She was very nice but in a very difficult situation. She had to say the 18% was not gratuity when it clearly was, just not for her. At least that is what she said. I suppose she could have just come up with a story about it. Anyway, the 18% should not be added on as a surprise.

Their breakfast buffet is excellent. Wide selection of foods. The servers are very attentive and keep your coffee cup filled up.

Tried the breakfast buffet this morning. The omelettes, bacon, and potatoes were great. It is the baked goods that needs some attention. The service was good and it is a beautiful and unique setting. The cinnamon rolls were extremely dry and hard. It was as if they were frozen, and allowed to thaw out a week before serving. The biscuits were the same way. They were very hard as well. When trying to cut one, they just crumbled. Add gravy to the biscuit didn't help. I truly believe these are frozen items from a food service company. Why not bake them fresh in house and set yourself apart. Having said that, we will go back and try them one more time.

Great ambiance in this old hotel. Robert was a very good waiter. He kept our drinks full. The omelet bar was super. Wish they had mimosas available. Serves only 8am to 11am, so get there early. Limited parking for guests.
Good breakfast buffet; we enjoyed a relaxed meal in the historic dining room. The small Waffles were the highpoint of our meal; excellent! The only type of eggs on buffet were a fluffy Egg Fritata, but they were good. Bacon & Sausage were both tasty, as was the Fruit/Yoghurt dish. Service was average. Reasonable pricing for a tourist town.

We ate breakfast here and it was really good. We had the buffet, and had the guy make us an omelet. It was all delicious and the dining room is so beautiful.

The atmosphere is lovely in this dining room. The high ceilings and chandeliers make it a great spot for a nice meal. The breakfast is great, dinner was just ok. Service is always good here, and we get to sit wherever we like when we have been there. We always choose close to the windows. Staff is very friendly. Prices are average and it always very clean. That's a big deal to me. I don't like seeing spilled food particles all over the floor.

Stopped by here for Sunday breakfast buffet, the food was plentiful and good, a bit above typical breakfast buffets. Service was good, but the real standout was the setting. A real piece of history, things look as if they haven't been touched too much, the historic architecture has been preserved, like stepping back in time. Enjoyed exploring the gardens and lobby of this old gem.
