I bring a table of 10 or more every Thanksgiving. My people love it and I love it. Thank you.

The staff was very friendly and nice but the overall food experience was very mediocre for the value. We had a 1:00pm reservation and the amount of food left was very disappointing. There was no prime rib left. We were told to come back in ten minutes to find the prime rib raw and the employee telling us he “doesn't recommend us eating it” when asked if they can make it more well he stated that they can't. The mashed potatoes was as hard as a rock. And not edible...There was absolutely NO desserts in the ballroom seating. So very disappointing...When asked if they will replenish they told us no. Also, other than one salad there were no other vegetables just some corn. We will most likely not be returning in the future. :(

The Sunday brunch is always a delight at Cafe Florian. It's the next in the Bay Area. The servings are always fresh and the roast beef and dungeness crab was awesome. You can always expect outstanding service and a pleasant atmosphere. We have been coming here for the last ten years and it's always consistently excellent! The caters are attentive and the kitchen does a great job.

Buffet breakfast was great. Not just regular american breakfast, they also have porridge with condiments including Chinese fried donuts. Plenty of fruits strawberries melons, bananas and oranges. They also have waffles, omelets to order, and choices of bread and muffins. Our coffees always get refilled. Service was great!

The buffet was lacking variety. Most of the poplar items were gone at the time of our brunch window @ 1:00 pm. Staff said they would refill the empty trays but they never did. It is sad to see the price has gone up but the quality of food went down. Sunday brunch at the Cafe Florian has been our family favorite. ïżŒUnfortunately, we will not return.

I am allergic to shellfish and hoped for more options like chicken or turkey. Otherwise very good.

Father's Day brunch ran out of crab legs right as we sat down at 12:15, told us continuously it “would come out in 10 minutes” never did. At least don't lie to us about it

Gerard

The food and value was great for the Sunday Brunch Buffet! I only gave them 4 stars because it was a little chaotic while going through the lines in the buffet. It was a free for all! Other than that, everything else was fantastic. Will definitely do it again!

Wendy

The café has nice ambiance, but the buffet was limited and the pastries were very ordinary. The food choices were oddly paired. The wait staff were nice but seemed uncoordinated.

Debbie

Excellent experience. All family members enjoyed the Mothers Day Brunch. Thank you for making our celebration so special.

Ann

Atrium would've been better ambiance but food was plentiful and tasty... service was great.. with mimosas flowing!

Considering it was Easter brunch and busy, the restaurant staff was ready for action. We were seated promptly and the wait staff very pleasant. Lots of “managers” making sure all went smoothly. Large variety of fresh fruits and salads and seafood. Nice selection of hot entrees. No rice or mashed potatoes , one potato casserole dish, but all was tasty. Desserts better than most buffets and we shared samples of many choices. Will for sure go again next time Easter brunch is in the plans.

We visited for Easter Brunch and, as expected, it was very busy, but the service was excellent, and the variety was impressive, featuring delicious prime rib, braised steak, lamb, potatoes, fish, and more, alongside a tempting dessert selection of sliced cakes, green tea mochi with red bean filling, donuts, cupcakes, cookies, macaroons, and soft serve ice cream, complemented by wonderful bottomless mimosas, sodas, and orange juice, resulting in a total bill of $194 that included an 18% mandatory service charge.
