Came for the Sunday Jazz Brunch and it was great... once we were allowed in. Unfortunately, arriving on time for our 11:30am Brunch also meant waiting in line for 10minutes before they'd actually seat us. Some people were waiting outside in the cold, after we took the plunge and waited inside before other people arrived.
To improve the guest experience, I'd suggest making sure the restaurant is ready at least 10min prior to reserved seating. Unlike evening Jazz sets, the morning crowd is an early to rise crowd, and would rather watch musicians warm up inside while they also warm up with coffee than wait outside.
After we got over that hurdle, everything was serve-yourself buffet style. There were oven cooked meats, cold salads, fresh waffles, pastries, yogurts, smoothies, juices, coffee, tea, hot cocoa, fruit salad, cereals, baguettes, soup, vegan options, and nothing felt like it was missing. Everything was seasoned and prepared well, even for being a buffet- so in the end- the food quality and great music saved the morning delay.
The acoustics were great- not too loud to have a conversation- but loud enough to appreciate the music over other people chatting. I'd even go a second time!
