Ok, so I violated my golden rule of never eating in hotel restaurants at home and went to the Ritz Sunday Brunch for my mom's birthday. I was inspired by an outstanding brunch experience at the Ritz in Grand Cayman and hoped--vainly--that this one would come close. In one word-NO! The most stunning discovery to me (being a New-Yorker, I obviously do not stay in hotels here) was that not all Ritzes are born equal. The service at this one was frankly bad. Sluggish hostess, who, after seeing us standing at the hostess station, dragged her feet across the room for another five minutes and answered the ringing phone before acknowledging our presence. We were approached by a grumpy waiter who asked us what we wanted to drink. We asked for juice and coffee, and he came back with both, poured some for my husband (there were two women in addition to him at the table, and he went to the only guy first!), and turned away to service the other table. When I called him back, he said, without turning--hold on, I'll be right there. Since it is a buffet brunch, we left our plates on the table and went to get desert. When we came back, the plates were still there--five minutes ago. The same unhappy looking waiter eventually asked us if we wanted them removed. t our affirmative, he carefully placed the dirty silverware back on the table--I KID YOU NOT, and took the plates. Now, had I gone to some all-you-can-eat joint on the side of the road, I'd be perfectly happy with this. But for $60 dollars and rather shaky food, surely, they could at least provide decent service. The brunch side was steamed vegetables cooked to a disgusting mashed potato consistency. But all of that I was willing to forgive--if only the service was decent. A particular waitress stood by a table with two customers for roughly 45 minutes, discussing some pressing issue with Broadway, while the rest of the room languished. Perhaps their dinners are better, but certainly not the brunch. Do not go!

One of the better restaurants in the area and the staff is wonderful. The lobster bisque is so creamy and just melts in your mouth. My best friend and I went here over the weekend and it was lovely, the food is exquisite.
