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. Unfortunately, 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

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.

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.

They had a beautiful Easter brunch set up. There was a nice variety of food and plenty of it. Service was outstanding as always!

Great buffet with excellent seafood. Wish they had more breakfast items but everything is delicious.

Pretty pricey. 60$/adult and 30$/kid. Not a huge selection for what it costs. The mimosas are bottomless as well. The food was good tho. The service was accommodating. They sat us in the corner tho, while there were many available seats. I got my fix but probably won't be back.

have been to this Sunday brunch multiple times in the past. Always great food and never shortage any of the items. This is the first time that one of their best item ran out before closing. The prime rib has always been great especially for a buffet. However, on this visit, the prime rib ran out before 1 pm. Our reservation was 12:30pb for 7 people. Most of us didn't get any prime rib. Instead the restaurant brought out what they called grilled rib eye that was paper thin and claimed it was the same as prime rib. The meat may be the same, but prime rib is not grilled but roasted as a whole roast and sliced to order. As mentioned, been to this sunday brunch multiple times in the past and prime rib never ran out. I think the restaurant is trying to cut cost.

Unfortunately, not worth $60/person. The eggs and bacon station didn't have heat so food was cold. Great service but not worth the price. I did se e that they were very much into refilling everyone's mimosas. So guess worth it if you drink that but we didn't and had to request coffee refills a couple of times.

Can honestly wish I read the reviews beforehand, and every one star 🌟 was spot on.... Unbelievable price for such mediocre at best sub par food..... Everything was cold, Prime Rib was RAW, and my wife (who is not picky) was like eeew.... Oh! They got money tip station for the omlett person, which i found epically tacky. Eggs had the suffer taste, and bacon was again cold, hard, and the steam table couldn't have saved it. We frequent Pinstripes in Hillsdale Mall, and stand by that gem of a brunch spot, and AVOID THIS $65.00 a person RIP OFF....
