Not what I expected, food is so lame. Even the roast beef is not cooked well. Unfortunately not the same Hot House from 20 years before. So sad.

We all had the Winterlicious Menu - it was very good. Only thing we didn't enjoy too much was the calamari appetizer but they were happy to give us an alternative. Service was excellent

We had the winterlicious menu and it was a perfect experience! Venison tartare, calamari, short rib were all very tasty.

Strangely quite. I have been going here around the same time every year but this year it was dead, the menu was ok but not as it once was.

Delicious and varied food at buffet, kind and helpful staff, definitely coming back! The price point was reasonable, our group had a couple of big eaters and a couple of mostly coffee drinkers, it felt like a fair price for everybody no matter how little they ate of the delicious food

We enjoyed the Saturday brunch menu. Signature Burger was a disappointment; meat was flavorless and dripping with a sauce that made the whole sandwich soggy. However, Salad Nicoise, Royal Benny and Caponata Bowl were all excellent. Service was friendly and prices were reasonable.

We asked in our reservation for a quiet table away from sources of noise for a group of seniors getting together for lunch after a long time not seeing each other. We needed ambience for conversation. Hot House provided exactly what we were looking for. We were not rushed. The server was personable and helpful. The food was good but not outstanding. We would probably go back for a similar get together.

Thé weekend lunch menu was very good. Unfortunately being a vegan there was only one choice. The other choices couldn't be adjusted to accommodate a vegan diet. The staff were very good. I will definitely go back again soon. Jan

New Years Eve Fiasco! Very disappointing experience. New Years Eve without the countdown? We were informed at 10:30 that we should order dinner as the kitchen closed at 11:00 It was obvious food was prepared in a rush, and just plopped onto a dish without any kind of garnishes or presentation......looked unappetizing and was unappetizing. Nonetheless we rushed to eat what we could. Drinks and appetizer were good. Service was good, but negligent in informing us about the time restriction well in advance, rather than leaving it to the last half hour. This experience really ruined our new year. We will not be returning to Hothouse for New Years Eve again.

Made a reservation for 23 at Hothouse in early December 2025. It was an early evening reservation on a Saturday of the holiday season. Arif the manager was very helpful in helping me set it up. I booked two weeks in advance and they were very easy to reach and responsive when changes needed to be made. The process was painless and everything was good to go when the day came.
The food and service was very good as always. I had experience at this place before, and knew that would be good, but had never booked a big group, and I found it much easier than at most places I have tried.
Every time I eat there I tell them that they need to add the beef bourguignon to their à la carte menu, or make it a regular feature for their Sunday brunch buffet. I'm saying it again.
We've recently celebrated my daughter's honor roll achievement at Hothouse and we had a wonderful experience. We usually go here for Sunday brunch and it's always been our go to place to eat and celebrate! Overall a great time for my family and I. Thank you!

Haven't been in awhile but same great place! Convenient location, yummy Sunday buffet that's truly a great value and best service. Male host very accommodating (female a little less friendly) and our server Chris(hope I'm remembering name correctly) was attentive and friendly. Coffee cups always full, table kept cleared and buffet items regularly replenished and buffet servers also friendly. The place is large and was full and energetic but somehow still able to enjoy table conversation. Need to remember this place more often!

I went for the buffet brunch, and it honestly surprised me in a good way. The price felt fair for the variety they offer, lots of different breakfast items, and everything tasted fresh. The staff were genuinely friendly, the place was spotless, and it had an easy, welcoming vibe that's great for kids and families. They kept the food stations refreshed the whole time, so nothing ever felt old or empty. Overall, a really pleasant brunch experience and definitely worth coming back.
