Knowing this is one of the most popular brunch locations for Mother's Day I made my reservation well in advance (over 3 weeks). We got there about 20 minutes early so I checked in with the hostess (who were very rude and not very attentive - in fact I had to say "hello" first after standing in front of them for over a minute). I checked back after 20 minutes and saw we were 2 tickets away. Another 10 minutes goes by and we are still all standing around. Meanwhile people who came in after me had already been seated. I checked the desk again and a woman in front of me was complaining to the hostess. She stated she was very sorry for the wait and their party was her priority and she would be the next to be seated. So I walked over and asked the woman what time her reservation was and she was 30 minutes later than mine! I saw them finally hand our ticket off and we headed to our seat at the far end of the restaurant. We walked by plenty of food stations, which looked good and since we were 30 minutes after our reservation (50 minutes of standing around) we were ready to eat! We get to the dining room and there is no table available. Slight mix up and they ask us to stand around while they bus a table (with a view so ok we can wait). Seconds turned into minutes...10 actually and still no bussed table. The seater comes back and says follow me I have a much better table for you. We walk all the way back to the opposite side of the restaurant where we are seated in the middle of the room...this is better then the view?? We sat down 40 minutes after our reservation time. We had two babies - no highchairs. He promises to be right back - he never came back. We finally get seated. Food was just ok...lot's of things were gone. The omelett guy was never around. Multiple plates were dirty. Bill was wrong 3 times. For a rest. famous and always sold out for Mother's Day I would have thought they could have done much better! For a $500+ meal I expect better.
Pros: Nice view
Cons: Bad for holiday or special occasion
