We went for Christmas lunch buffet yesterday and it was amazing! Much better than expected. Macy (manager) and Diana (server) were wonderful with us and made us want to come back soon for another festive date!!! We highly recommend the food, service, and environment!!

Great Christmas Brunch.

I hate leaving negative reviews but I'm sooo disappointed in the entire experience. We tried the Christmas Buffet — described as “exquisite.” For the price (nearly $300 for 2 people with tax and the automatically added 26% gratuity, which is crazy for a buffet) it was comparable to Golden Corral. We were surprised we had to prepay, and the staff said they have many guests dine and dash. Seriously? Service was The Worst. All the staff seemed exhausted and unhappy to be there. No one smiled. We had to ask multiple times for drink refills and sweetener. Some staff were just standing around with nothing to do. The check-in process was a cluster. Food was average — some too hot, some too cold. Oh! And the day before, someone called and asked for my credit card info, even though I already gave that info through Open Table. That felt sketch and a poor guest experience. Not my problem your system is flawed. Never going back and would not recommend. :-(

Booking process was easy, arrival process was easy, food was excellent. We have enjoyed Christmas day buffet for several years and the standard has always been very high.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Thanksgiving experience we had to return and dine for Christmas. The menu was delightful and so was the service. 10/10.

The quality and choice of food was amazing. We were seated very quickly and the staff were very attentive and kept our glasses of champagne and mimosas topped up as we'd decided to use Ubers so we could all have a drink. Lots of seafood including oysters and carvery stations. Desserts were amazing too. We ate far too much but it was so delicious looking that it was hard not to try a little of everything! The entrance to the hotel was decorated beautifully with lots of Christmas trees and by the pool was also very pretty. We'd definitely recommend this to anyone who was in Orlando during the holiday period. If we're ever here again during Christmas we'd dine there without hesitation.

We had a lovely time here on Christmas Day! There were 11 of us. The food in general was very good. The savory food was absolutely delicious. And we are foodies! For a mass produced buffet it was very good. The dessert looked amazing but wasn't as good as it looked. But I'm not a dessert person! The cookies were lovely! The service was great. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. There were the most beautiful Christmas trees decorating the lobby. Bottomless mimosas and Prosecco. A really lovely time. We come to Orlando every year and had not tried it before. Will definitely go back.

Holiday environment was very good with views of the pool and open space. The service was also very good. the free flowing champagne was special for the holiday. food quality was average. Shrimp was service in shell but they will remove shell for you it if you ask. Desert average and vale parking on the customer!

Juan was our incredible server - he made our Christmas experience so special. We have been to the Christmas buffet the past (3) years and love it, but this year was extra special thanks to Juan and all the other servers that helped our table. Incredible ambiance, food and service! Thank you for making our experience wonderful - it is a testament to great leadership and training at your venue. Looking forward to next year already!

The buffet food was clearly “buffet” quality food. For the 4 star level of this hotel, and the cost of this buffet ($30) it should have been better quality. I don't even know if I ordered off the menu if it would have been better. AVOID!

This was our fourth year going to Cafe Osceola. This year we had our largest group of 16. Cafe Osceola has been constant the last four years. I would highly recommend this for anyone's dining pleasure.

We have been coming here for brunch for about 6 years and they consistently continue to provide the best food & service. I would definitely to any newcomer 👍🏻

Went for the first time to their Thanksgiving brunch. There was a very large crowd of people trying to get through the brunch line to put food on their plates. Some of the food, in my opinion, was way too close to so many people passing through the food line talking, laughing, coughing, etc. I don't like eating at brunches in general due to food safety concerns, but my friend wanted to go and I joined him. In my opinion, the cost at $99 per person was way too high for what we got. Basic thanksgiving fare, and small desserts for one. The atmosphere reminded me of a high school cafeteria at lunch time... very loud and busy. I would have preferred a smaller, more intimate setting. But now we know.
