Sundy House

The brunch is delich! The outdoor gazebo we dined in was so elegant yet down to earth, relaxing while feeling fancy. The entire experience was heavenly. We have returned several times. Like most places this good it’s expensive but a true experience in a historical charming and purely delightful restaurant.

Celebrated my birthday here tonight. I was blown away as soon as I parked. What a beautiful setting. Tropical, romantic and well managed. I loved the hidden tables around the the beautiful landscaping,tress,flowers and gazebos. The lights that guide the path and light up your seating area. Staff was amazing. Food was even 5 stars. This is now my new place.

Zero stars would be more appropriate but it is a gorgeous setting. Had brunch here yesterday and the only good thing about it was the weather. It was like one disappointment after the next and we really tried to to find something we liked but everything about this place was disgusting. The food was inedible, even the scrambled eggs were burned brown, the bathroom toilets were all clogged, and if we had a server the only time we saw her was when she brought the bill, which kinda made it hard to enjoy the bottomless part. Such a beautiful venue but I wouldn't recommend this place if you are interested in eating anything.

Oh my! This place has to be THE BEST restaurant I have ever frequented. It is set among a tropical paradise in the middle of downtown Delray Beach. The brunch was simple and out of this world as was the chocolate birthday cake we ordered. The service was impeccable. Our server Brigitte and her assistant Manoushka were very friendly, extremely accommodating, animated, and so eager to treat the 7 of us ladies like queens. What a fantastic place to dine. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you experience this fabulous restaurant in the middle of a forest, streams, waterfalls, and wildlife!

Let me begin by saying I just stopped by to purchase a gift card, although I have eaten here and been very satisfied. My friend needed a special gift for someone and was not familiar with restaurants in the Delray area. This was the first place that came to mind because not only is the food delicious but the experience is really what stands out. Beautiful outdoor seating in a lush botanical garden setting with gazebos, ponds, and statuary. Perfect for an intimate dinner under the stars or a wedding. The interior of the restaurant is equally interesting with an open air veranda and central bar. For a special occasion, I highly recommend the brunch. You won't be disappointed. The only negative for me, on this occasion, was the length of time it took to get someone to help us and provide the certificate and no one really seemed knowledgeable about the prices for the boutique bungalo cottages available for an overnight stay. This place is on my bucket list for a weekend getaway to include the brunch.

I frequent The Sundy House often for brunch. I'm disappointed in my last brunch experience.I took my friend to celebrate her birthday. The reservation was originally for 10 people which was later modified to 7 confirmed guests several hours prior to arriving for our reservation. We we're seated in the pavilion, a lovely view, the food was good and our server was very nice and attentive. At the end of our meal, our server brought the bill and we paid without reviewing the check as it's brunch everyone pays the same amount of $75 per person. We even paid our server over and above the included gratuity that was added to our check. Everyone left satisfied with the experience until Monday. I reviewed our bill only to learn that we were charged for 9 guests instead of 7 - an honest mistake? I immediately called and left a message explaining the matter and requested a call back; I did not receive a call. A second message was left requesting a manager call but still no call back. I have yet to receive a call to address this matter after 2 weeks. Sunday House has lost a loyal.patrone of their establishment. I'm disappointed since it was one of my favorite brunch spots. Review your check prior to paying, I wish I did!

The property and dining areas are absolutely stunning and beautiful. The service was good. The food was mixed. The crab legs were the worst I have ever had. The shrimp were large and not bad but not great either. The eggs benedict were terrible. The short ribs were good. In summary, the brunch is not worth the money. We will not go back. I can imagine that the restaurant generally serves very good food in a stunning atmosphere.

I know a lot of people come here for brunch, but we've primarily come here for the bed and breakfast. It's the perfect place for a staycation. If you want to visit Delray Beach, spend a few nights here, and then get around town. As you can see from other reviews, they have a great brunch, too! In my opinion, this is the place to stay during July 4th weekend because you can walk to the beach and watch the fireworks.

The Sundy house is a staple of Delray and I highly recommend visiting for happy hour, dinner, or Sunday brunch. You'll really enjoy the outdoor seating area. The garden has beautiful landscaping, tress, flowers, ponds, and private dining areas. I love coming here for a special celebration or a date night; as you feel like you are in your own garden. My husband and I love coming here for dinner but recently visited for happy hour. The fried Calamari was so tasty; we agreed it was the best ever had. The tuna crisps were fresh and delicious as well. Our bartender was very professional and pleasant. Happy hour runs Monday to Friday 4-6 daily. Stop in for an appetizer and cocktail, you will be happy you did!

The scenery was pretty adorable. We had an 8pm dinner and I did feel mosquitos biting me. The shrimp calabrese was good, the broccolini was ok, and the fries were really good. Coconut passionfruit mojito was food but prob wouldn't order again. All in all, the food was okay. I prob won't go back though

Absolutely beautiful restaurant! The staff was so friendly and accommodating to us. Although outside seating is first come first serve, they were able to hold the prettiest 2 person table in a gazebo outdoors for us because my fiancé called to tell them we were going to get engaged that night! It was such an incredible place to have gotten engaged and to celebrate. We had the seared scallops and an Italian seafood dish that had shrimp, lobster, mussels, fish, and squid. Both dishes were amazing and the wine recommendation was the perfect pair. We also enjoyed the creme brûlée (no photos because we dug into it right away) perfectly creamy and custard with a nice sugar crackle top!

This place is beautiful!!! And the food is great! The salmon is delicious and the drinks are really good too. The only thing that was a little disappointing was our server completely forgot about us. Someone from our table had to go find her and she admitted to forgetting about us. Which was odd because we were there as part of a bachelorette party. And she didn't offer desserts or anything else either when she finally came back to our table. The place is beautiful. It seems we might have just gotten unlucky with the service.

Booked a reservation for my wife and I and our well behaved 16 month old at 9am on OpenTable this morning (Saturday the 21st)for 5:30 pm today. At 3pm they called and canceled our reservation, saying they had a large group coming in and needed our spot. This was awesome since at 3pm on a Saturday, it's next to impossible to get a reservation in Delray for that evening, even if you are looking for 5:30. We thought that they might have canceled because I put in the notes that I was going to have my child so my wife called directly and asked for a 5:30 reservation for a table of 3 - the girl who answered was very nice and took our reservation with no issue or mention of a large party. I get if you don't want kids, but you need to post that instead of canceling someone's reservation 2.5 hours ahead on a Saturday - that's garbage. Too many options in Delray for this.

SUNDAY BRUNCH Definitely make a reservation unless you would like to sit at the inside bar. Valet parking is comp. and they are pretty quick since cars are parked across the street. We made a reservation for 6 adults for inside seating because it was expected to storm badly but on a nice day, requesting an outside table and preferably in a private gazebo would be the ultimate dining experience. We sat in a large room that had doors that completely opened so we too had great seating. Our server, Zeynel G. was fabulous. He had the best personality and we had alot of fun with him. Two hour dining limit for the buffet with comp. Bloody Mary, Mimosa, or Champagne was endless and refilled pretty quickly. The main room has everything from the traditional breakfast station warmers to the most delicious Mac n cheese, juicy sweet truffle fried chicken tenders and conch fritters. There was also a small charcuterie table next to the bar. The room with the seafood and the carving table was definitely the most popular. There was a prime rib, whole roasted 30 lb turkey and broiled salmon. Then there is an elevated salad bar and the highlight was the fresh shucked oysters and jumbo peeled shrimp. I do think they cheated it out a bit with snow crablegs instead of Alaskan King crab legs like they had a few years ago. For $75 per person, the price is no bargain but the food was good and the service was great. I think the dessert area is worth noting that you could definitely get your sugar fix and variety was way above average. Everything from fresh berries to chocolate mini dessert were beautifully displayed. They had an icecream bar that would make any inner child be happily satisfied. The grounds are beautiful and the experience was fun. I would definitely return but keep in mind that this is better for a special occasion and not for a boozy brunch.

The best Sunday Brunch ever! Kamlyn was the most professional, thoughtful and fun serve i have ever had!!! She is so attentive with a smile!! She made a special Sunday even more special!!

I've been wanting to do brunch here for years. For some reason or another, I had never been until now. I believe it was 8 of us, there for a birthday, for Sunday brunch. Flat rate, including drinks was $75. As soon as we got there, we were shown to our table and were told of the different buffet stations. Also the different drink options, and you can mix during your time there. We were also told we would have 2 hours, after that we are cut off from food and drinks and the table needs to be cleared for the next guests. The food stations were: breakfast where they had eggs Benedict, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, home fries, pancaked and waffles. Another station had an amazing fried chicken, and delicious truffle Mach and cheese. Then another with conch fritters and warm pretzel bites. Salad station, fruit station, pastries and desserts, another with oysters, shrimp, and (small) crab legs. I believe there was one with some more seafood, a carving station, and where the desert was, you could ask for ice cream too. I obviously wasn't able to try it all, impossible in two hours and I got full fast, but what I did try I enjoyed. The drinks, as mentioned, was great that we could pick and mix between Bellinis, mimosas, rose and bloody Mary's but it would have been better if they didn't leave us waiting long between refills. The outside gardens make this a nice place to go too, as the walk and fresh air are great after eating all that food, plus they are really nice and peaceful. And they had a live guitar player, serenading everyone there. Overall a great place but think, for me, the Saturday brunch when you can order from the menu, might be better.

The historic Sundy House is the oldest family house in Delray Beach. John Shaw Sundy built the six-bedroom, four-bathroom Queen Ann style house on Swinton Avenue out of Dade County in pine in 1902. Sundy was a superintendent with Henry Flagler's railroad, the Florida East Coast Railway and he decided that he did not want to travel any further south. He settled in the town and became it's first mayor drafting the original city charter in the house. The house was the city's first church, bank, and school house. John Sundy ran a feed and fertilizer business that served as the agricultural and social hub of the town. In 1991 Lou and Carmen Jensen purchased the home, restored it, and turned it into a restaurant. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. Today the Sunday House is an award winning inn and restaurant well known for it's brunch. The property is a popular wedding destination. Surrounding the house is a one acre tropical garden that includes the fish pond that John Sundy's son built as a gift for his parents. The garden has more than 5,000 plants and over 500 varieties of foliage from all over the world. Along the gardens path are gazebos, benches, and waterfalls. Behind the house are two apartment buildings and a cottage that have been turned into guest rooms. I came by on a rainy day to stroll the garden and tour the property. I love how this historic building has been saved and it is still a treasured part of the community over a hundred years later. What has been done here has inspired other historical groups to rally together to save other old homes. The Pompano Beach Historical Society is currently working to save the historic McNab house and it is their hope that it also can be turned into a bed and breakfast and restaurant. The Sundy house is not only a successful business in a historic home, it is also inspiring people to save other historical gems in the area.

I love this place always very consistent food. The service is always great, our waitress Sue was amazing. The outdoor tropical vibe is well done.

Hmmmm. Why did a singular mimosa ordered turn into $15 and a birthday chocolate torte that was appreciated, but not ordered turned into $10? Yikes. Like giving someone a surprise gift then telling them them to pay for it. Location is definitely 5 stars and unique to South Florida. Beautiful garden setting with cute bridges, gazebos and koi ponds. There are cottages on-site you can stay in too. The Saturday brunch menu was interesting and the food, while I wouldn't say was exceptional in taste, was good. The service was a bit slow, but friendly and nice. Be prepared to stay awhile and remember to review the check before you pay and get home

I absolutely love Sunday House!! This is the prettiest place to dine at in Delray Beach. It's best to go on cooler days bc it does get hot out. I've dined here several times & yesterday I hosted a baby shower there. Breakfast: They do a fancy brunch on Sundays for a hefty cost of $75 per person plus tax and gratuity. I recommend going on Saturday so that you can order a la carte. This way is very budget friendly and they offer a $15 bottomless bellinis, mimosas and bloody Mary's. Dinner: Excellent spot to bring a nice date. It's more on the pricier side, so save it for the right person. The food, wine and drinks are worth the cost. Cuban night: This was a fun time!!! We did this last year. Lots and lots of food and drinks. I recommend going on a cooler night. Baby Shower: Our server yesterday did an amazing job taking care of us. We actually did not reserve a room bc there was a minimum food/beverage cost of like $1200 for 18 ppl. We opted for a regular reservation so that there would be no minimum & could order a la carte. This worked perfect for us! They gave us one long table on the patio & we had enough room to set up a small gift table too! It was absolutely beautiful and perfect for the shower. All the food was great and not once did a drinking glass go below half way full. Service and accommodations succeeded our expectations & we're so appreciative of the way our server took care of us. . Ty so much

The Sunday House is well-known but not well understood. A lot of people have heard about it but are unsure whether it's bar or restaurant, etc. The Sundy House is both an easy-going, outdoor restaurant in a tropical, understory setting, with a bar, small outdoor wedding/celebration venue, and a small group of cottages all situated in an acre of beautiful botanical tropical gardens with twisting paths, short wooden bridges, koi fish, water falls, and statuaries. There's a set of larger fresh water pools toward the rear and they even have tree-identifying tags. The outdoor tables are immersed in the gardens, some intimate with over-table pendants and others in gazebos for larger parties. And the food was excellent. Ordered the scallops and crab cakes, both excellent. Good drink menu as well. The service could have been quicker. The inside bar is a cool structure but IMHO too bright. Overall, I highly recommend Sundy House for the food and unmatched atmosphere.

What an incredibly romantic spot, with delicious food, surrounded by plenty of outdoor seating among lust gardens. The food is superb. My personal favorites were the thanksgiving croquettes and the mini grilled cheese salad. The churro and key lime pie desserts were incredible. However, everything we tried was unique and delicious. If you are looking for social distancing, there are outside tables completely separated and in their own nook. The cocktails are made with fresh ingredients right from their own garden. Highly recommend this spot. Need to try their Sunday brunch!

Wish you could give half stars. Overall would rate this about 3 1/2 stars. I have heard amazing things about Sundy House brunch. With Current circumstances not sure if I wanted to do a buffet yet but decided to try their Saturday brunch with the al a cart menu. One thing to note is the menu that is online on their own website is not accurate.its a different menu once you arrive. That is kinda annoying. The atmosphere was beautiful! It felt like you were eating in an enchanted garden. The food itself was good for the most part. The shrimp and grits were amazing. The salmon plate was good. The chimmichuri steak was delicious. What keeps this from being a 5 star review is simply the service. Appetizers didn't come out. When our food came out we explained our appetizer didn't come and by that point we didn't want them anymore. Our waitress still brought them halfway through our meal. We ordered bottomless mimosas and only received one the entire time bc our waitress was barely around. The food that did come out was either missing items or had wrong items on the plate. I would give this place another try if I'm in the area. Not something I would rush to go back to though.

Expensive but worth it. Sundy brunch is unbelievable. So many choices and you can forget dinner at home. You will have enough to eat at Sundy house.

If you haven't been to Sundy or haven't in a long time, it's time to go. There is a new restaurant, Taru, named after the Taru garden, and James Strine is the head chef. The food is amazing. You can have a big meal or bites and a drink. There's something for every diet. This is also a perfect spot for social distancing right now because the garden is huge and the tables are spaced apart for privacy. Happy hour is 4-6 M-F and I can't wait to go back for it. The food is all spectacular but I have to recommend the croquettes, the tomato salad, and the dynamite rice.

Sundy House, I would give you 6 Stars!! Thank you again for an amazing experience! Long ago, when I got married I was looking for a fairy tale... The whole experience with music, ambiance, and of course food! We searched Yelp for places to have this full experience, and between Yelp and recommendations we decided Sunday House was what we were looking for. We were right then, and it was just as fabulous when we returned in February to celebrate my husband's birthday. If anything, this past visit was even better. When we arrived, we had a little bit of a wait. We sat in the open foyer on comfortable couches. When we were seated, the waitress asked.if we wanted to garage door opened, we didn't know what that meant, but when we returned from our first round of brunch, we were delighted to see our walled up table turned into a seat with a balcony and gorgeous view of the grounds! It was as if we were on a movie set... There was romance with couples walking around the beautiful gardens decorated with Asian decor - holding hands. Birthday parties, ladies brunch, this is for sure a place for a range of elite level events! There was a lovely woman singing softly through or meal, she was amazing! The brunch includes choice of Mamosa or Bloody Mary, both are strong and very good. You can create your own Bloody Mary at the spice table!! The food, delicious! The brunch selection is wide and suitable to all. French toast, crepes, and omelettes to order! Add some berries and nutella to make an over the top dessert.. Put some honey fried chicken on freshly made waffles for a full southern treat! And if you're into cheese?! They have a wide selection of hard and soft cheeses. Select your bread, top with dried fruit, and drizzle with honey! The desserts are sweet and plenty, cakes, ice cream... and my favorite macaroons in an array of colors. A fairy tale indeed!!

Never open.... Great place, food, service. But when? And, bring your AmEx. It's not cheap. But it is a lovely place

After 4 months of only takeout, we decided to check out the new Taru menu at Sundy House during happy hour! A mojito for $4.50? I'm in! The outdoor tables are so secluded in their shaded garden that we could have been eating on our own patio at home. The waiter was extremely attentive, cocktails did the trick, and the couple of appetizers we tried were excellent! Sundy House is a gorgeous tropical escape in downtown Delray and a stay-cation would be fabulous. Don't let this experience slip away- it's the perfect "outing" to still be socially-distanced, if you know what I mean. Must try the turkey and stuffing croquettes!! We'll be trying to replicate these in November for sure- the ultimate Thanksgiving leftover recipe!

This was my first time at Sundy House and I was told that it has brand new ownership and management. Thus, I have nothing to compare it to from the past. What I can tell you is that it's an amazing property. Roughly an acre of land and some of the most romantic options for dining outside (if you can withstand the Florida heat). As someone who cares just as much about the setting as the food, it puts this place in a strong position for me. But the food is also extremely creative and tasty. I was fortunate to try a number of items on the menu, including the tuna appetizer, stuffed turkey croquettes, rabbit bun, dynamite rice (a must) and ribs that fall right off the bone. I understand that the menu used to be limited. Not at all anymore. Also, the creative drinks are a lot of fun. The mixologist and staff are very friendly. And again, the ambiance is just amazing.

Excellent ...My friends and I went to Sunday Brunch Social distancing was practiced and everything was sanitary The food was plentiful and delicious ! In my opinion there weren't enough servers Sue helped us but seemed to be spread a bit thin but she did a pretty good job. I will definitely go again !

When you walk into Sundy House, you are overwhelmed with the smell of the beautiful garden and flowers. I went here with my mom when she visited not knowing what to expect! Whoever designed this place really had the aesthetic in mind and we absolutely loved it! The drinks, the service, the FOOD was incredible! We both went for dinner/happy hour and ordered scallops with broccolini and goat cheese risotto..and days later we are still talking about it. This place has a beautiful feel to it and I cannot recommend enough to friends and family! ALSO the table bread consisted of soft pretzels with honey butter

So we went to Brunch today and it was a first time for me but my GF raves about this place. We gave a 3* because of the service and honesty the food was just average. They are obviously not doing buffets but you order you food and as much as you want. The most amazing plate that we order was the Nutella french toast...please try that!!!!! Everything was just average. Now the service was horrible....from the hostess either not being at the front or just telling us it will be 5 more minutes. Nobody came to our table....not even for water for 25 mins...I had to get up and "hunt down" the hostess to tell her to send our server. The server was basically not attentive the whole time and it was not even busy and we were the only ones in his section...just really really bad service....my GF said this place has gone downhill.

This was such a magical place to visit and dine in. We had a girls brunch at this place on a Saturday and we all had a good time generally. The location is absolutely beautiful and seems like an oasis of some sorts. Many weddings take place here and while we were there a wedding was being prepared for. There's gazebos and fountains and so many beautiful plants and palm trees to gaze at. As far as food, we did have to wait a while to receive our food and we got a little impatient but we remained calm because we noticed our waiter was one of the only ones serving the guests and we know that's always something to note and take into consideration. There was a lot of people who left because of the wait of their food and expressed their negative experience while we were there but again ... it's the times we are in now. When we got our food it was all good. Nothing super extraordinary in taste but it was a good breakfast with classic breakfast staples. Their Nutella French toast bites were amazing and definitely missing those. We were told this place was closing down for 2 years for renovations so we were happy to be there and enjoy before the closing. Overall I would bring more guests here on a cooler day in the future to enjoy the location at best.

i came for sunday brunch and WOW- what an experience. its buffet style with multiple rooms of any and all foods you could want. including food like breakfast, charcuterie table, lunch/dinner options, dessert room, carving station and a full table of seafood. some of the favorites among my group were the turkey (from carving station), truffle fried chicken, crab legs, bread pudding and oysters. this experience was so worth it! our waitress was super friendly and on top of it as well. warning: make a reservation in advance if you want to come.

Beautiful restaurant to walk around but the service and food absolutely sucked. The waiter was an complete fool. Took 3 hours to get our dinner and the guy never came to get us drinks or food ABSOLUTe Disaster Do not recommend!!!

I grew up in Delray and always wanted to stay here. I was traveling through here right before going to my wedding and decided to visit. The grounds are beautiful. I made my reservation at the hotel maybe 5 months in advance along with a brunch reservation. I hadn't received any emails leading up to my reservation and was busy traveling and coordinating family events. I called the hotel 5 times around 10am, hoping to get a hold of someone because I knew I would be checking in late. Later I realized I received a voicemail message the day of at 5:30pm from them asking about checkin but completely missed it during my family's festivities. I checked their website and my emailed reservation on what to do about checkin, saw no direction. I arrived maybe after 11pm my family events and no one was there. I called the hotel number and could not find any information for contacting them after hours, no information was provided on their website or machine. I had to check into another hotel in the area. Nothing was done or said really about the mishap which was really unfortunate. The grounds are beautiful just how I'd expected. It is quite peaceful at night. The location is perfect to stroll down to the shops and the beach. Brunch was delightful and a great splurge. Service was great. The rooms are modest, historical. The air conditioning didn't work much so my partner and I ended up sleeping maybe 4 hours. I love the grounds and the brunch, just a bit heart broken about how my plans turned out. I hope they figure out an after hours service number for others in the future. I heard another guest got locked out that same night and also had to checkin to another hotel when all her stuff was in her room at the Sundy house.

Our son took us there for Sunday Brunch for my birthday. Surprised how busy they were. The outside seating gorous in the gardens. Generally a buffet but now you get a menu with same items but are served, also unlimited. Also unlimited bloody marys, mimosas, sangria, red or white, or frisees. They have a pastry basket.cheese & charcuterie plate, oysters, stated King crab legs but they were queen crab, shrimp cocktail and a lox salmon plate. Breakfast favorites: pancakes, waffles eggs, omelets, egg benedict, home fries, bacon, and sausage. Caesar salad or tomato mozzarella salad. Hot entrees include shrimp and grits,hot honey fried chicken, mahi-mahi with Asian stir fried vegetables, and smoked ham. Then a carving station with prime rib and whole roasted turkey. Both came with mashed potatoes and gravy Desserts were individual assorted cakes. Service was very good. Just for $75 per person, not worth the price.

This review is strictly on the grounds and the outside of Sunday House -- as I didn't eat there. I have looked over the menu and think I will plan a romantic dinner there sometime in the future or try the a la carte brunch on Saturday, possibly. There's an all you can eat with unlimited mimosas type brunch on Sundays (for $75) should that appeal to you. I'm not much of a drinker, so this unlimited booze is never a draw and I always feel like I eat too much at a buffet. Guess I'm trying to either justify the expenditure or so many things look good, I have to try them all... Anyhow, we were down the street at the tea house and decided to walk over and have a look around. I was surprised we were able to tour the grounds with no one asking us who we were. It was like a visit to a botanical garden. The plantings are lush. There are secluded areas including gazebos where tables are set. There are statues in between. Once inside, you'd never know how close you are to downtown Delray. You are transported to a very romantic, relaxing, tropical ambiance. You can stroll various paths through the "jungle". There are signs to the rooms (the inn) portion set back from the street. The venue hosts a lot of events and you can see why. It looks perfect for a wedding or bridal shower, a birthday party or an anniversary.

Six years ago my wife and I got married here and it was an incredible experience. We started celebrating anniversaries and Christmas here almost every year afterwards. Then we had children and Covid happened so the visits became far less frequent however each time our expectations were exceeded until last night. It started with a few unhelpful phone calls setting up our reservation. Ultimately the people during each phone call were simply providing factual information but nevertheless they always sounded disinterested in the call. Then, the night of our dinner I called 3 times and never was able to connect with someone. We showed up and our waiter also seemed very disinterested with us. He offered a suggestion regarding my dinner which I took him up on. Ultimately my food came out and was essentially inedible because of temperature. I'll eat lukewarm food all day (which my wife's food was) but mine was cold...not lukewarm, not cool, but cold. This was the first time in my life I had to send food back to the kitchen. It came out shortly thereafter extremely hot with an unempathetic apology. My wife's steak was severely undercooked as well. After my food returned to the table our waiter seemed even less interested in checking in with us (he actually didn't again until he cleared the table and gave us the bill). I will say that there was a wedding at the venue so we understood that we weren't a priority but Sundy House is a pretty expensive venue and we've spent a lot of money here over the years. Not sure when or if we will be returning after this recent experience which is very disappointing as we have a lot of great memories here.

Honestly the most awful place. I went here for my birthday dinner with a party of 12. The service was terrible. The food was terrible. I'm so incredibly disappointed. It took around 45 minutes to get the initial round of shots for the group - every single glass was filled differently. I think I had 3 shots worth in mine. About 3 couples ordered bottles and apparently they were allllll out. It took forever to get the bottles. The waiter spilled wine on my friends pants and the shots of tequila were practically thrown haphazardly at us. All the food took a day and a half. Everyone ordered medium cooked dishes and they were all over cooked. It was terrible. DO NOT GO HERE.

Wow!! Pure, full to the brim, happy tummy wow! First time here and we just loved this place. The setting, enchanting - a gorgeous tropical garden with soothing acoustic guitar music played live as a backdrop. You just don't see Sunday buffet brunch events anymore, but Sundy House look to be competing hard against themselves to rise to the level of performance they deliver. And oh, how they deliver: Superb prime rib, a mountain of large, perfectly cooked shrimp with cocktail sauce. Terrific macaroni and cheese, alongside a host of other well executed guilty pleasures. My wife and I just sat and smiled at each other between bites, savoring the whole experience and setting all at once. It was lovely, memorable and something I will look forward to revisiting again. The only downside (and a mild one at that) was that our server was not so attentive. However, at a buffet, you can mostly control your own destiny, so it didn't get in the way of our good time. Go try it, you will leave filled with joy and lots of other yummy stuff.

The gardens here are absolutely beautiful. There's different kinds of plants, a pond full of koi fish, and cute gazebos. A photoshoot here would turn out well since there are so many places where you can take pictures. However, the food was definitely overpriced. I visited here for the first time with my family and ordered the southern Cobb salad and the steak tacos. The cobb salad was pricey and one of the blandest salads I've ever had. The chicken on it wasn't well seasoned and the salad had no flavor at all. I'd really recommend the chefs to put some love into seasoning that chicken because it costs $10 to add grilled chicken to a salad (the Cobb included chicken but other salads don't come with any protein). I'd also recommend to start using a different dressing because it tasted like water. The steak tacos were way tastier. The steak was good quality and the sauce in the tacos was good. However, it was still pretty pricey. It also felt strange that there was mandatory valet here. We didn't have the option to park ourselves. Even though the house and gardens are nice, how tasty the food is more important for me to want to come back.

I discovered the Sundy House almost three years ago when I was looking for a quiet, intimate spot to celebrate an anniversary dinner with my then-girlfriend. The relationship didn't last. My love for this place did. If I can recall without looking at the website, this inn sits on at least an acre that consists of gorgeous botanical gardens and these little huts where you can stay for a night or two as well as in the main house. I have had romantic dinners in one of their gazeboes that was very nice and the dinner menu was tops for sure. The service is great and accommodating. They also do a Sunday brunch and a Havana Nights' themed event. A little pricey, but well done. Very well done. There's at least two bar areas, three-to-four dining areas inside and outside for gatherings, parties, intimate dinners, you name it. They recently started their a la carte brunch menu on Saturdays, which was fantastic. I enjoyed cinnamon rolls, smoked salmon and potato pancakes with bacon because bacon. Absolutely delish. I was at brunch with my friends and we all ordered a dessert a piece. The tiramsu, crème brulee, and this coconut-infused dessert were to die for. Absolutely insanely good. Foodgasms were abound for sure. If you haven't come here at least for Saturday brunch, you're missing out. Whether you're looking for a quick getaway, romantic dinner, brunch or happy hour with friends, Sundy House is a great place to go if you want to have a special occasion and don't mind spending a few quid.

Pretty much on par with the other reviews. Food is ok and overpriced, and service is dreadful. Ambivalent and poorly trained. When you say thank you, the response is never "no problem". You have to constantly ask for extra plates, clean utensils, some bread would be nice. Some decent service is the most important thing these days. I used to come here because out of town friends wanted some gardens, which are lovely. But I'm done with the place. They won't mind as their brunches are always popular, but they lost me.

Sundy House is one of my favorite go to places for special occasions. I've been here several times for Sunday Brunch, and it has always been a delightful treat. Brunch has increased in price, but the experience is definitely worth it for a special occasion. Sundy House is a beautiful restaurant, nested inside a beautiful garden in history Delray Beach. They have more private seating outside within the garden in little gazebos or private alcoves. The non-private areas are still absolutely gorgeous, and usually feel like you're in a sun room. The service is absolutely exceptional, and they use a team-based service approach (you have a waitress, but other assistants around to help clean the tables, fill your drinks, etc). There is a lot of selection for breakfast foods including chicken and waffles, eggs, breakfast potatoes, Mac and cheese, veggies, bacon, sausage. Then they also have a salad bar, charcuterie, ice cream bar, yogurt bar, raw bar (oysters, shrimp, crab legs), pasta salad options, carving station, and dessert bar. There is unlimited mimosas, champagne, Bellinis, bloody marys-- and this time they had rose and frose! Overall it is always a lovely experience. My husband and I enjoy walking around the gardens after brunch, and sometimes walk around downtown. There is also complimentary valet. Highly recommend!

Talk about beautiful landscaping. Even though this is a restaurant, half the experience is the gardens. Every room is beautiful. I would have loved to walk through the entire place but was nervous to disturb other patrons. Sunday brunch is definitely a splurge at $75 per person plus an automatic 20% tip. It includes unlimited food and one alcoholic beverage. We were in Delray for vacation so we figured why not! Highlights of the meal include snow crab legs, pounds of shrimp cocktail, honey fried chicken, made-to-order crepes/French toast, and fresh whip cream w/ fruit. Its worth experiencing at least once! Tip: In terms of attire... wear anything you want! Some groups were very dressy and others were low-key in flip flops and sneakers.

Probably one of the worst experiences I've had in a while. The atmosphere is unbeatable. The restaurant is nestled on the grounds of the cutest little boutique hotel. However, the food was literally the worst! For $100 per PERSON on Valentine's Day this place was NOT it. With a reservation the wait was over 45 minutes. The host staff refused to tell people how long their waits were so people started leaving. The food was not $100 good. The only redeeming factor was the wait staff. Bridget was the best. After complaining twice the charcuterie wasn't being refilled, she took it upon herself to bring us our very own. And after dinner she gave us a drink for our troubles. I will most likely not return, especially not on a holiday. Such a disappointment and such a shame of the robbery this restaurant is charging for a less than mediocre meal.

Stayed overnight and hoped for better. The rooms need updating or maintenance. I just expected more from such a pretty atmosphere. Maybe that was my mistake. With so many choices of places to stay I don't think staying at the Sundy House was worthwhile.

Great ambiance. Great service and good food. We had the Sunday brunch buffet and it was nice. Nothing exceptional...We had a lovely outdoor table and thankfully the weather was perfect. Glad that they took extra caution for the buffet area by providing disposable gloves.

This is one of the most beautiful dining areas in the Delray area it's a 1902 historical property with gorgeous grounds we ate dinner in a gazebo they lots of space between each table Some with gazebo and other in little areas that were lovely for seating. the food was very good I had the scallops with the risotto Salad to start spinach salad delicious and dessert was Keylime pie or chocolate flourless cake ...Pasta with shrimp was delicious with large shrimp wedge salad was also very good as was the Caesar salad. This was our first time having dinner here ...they had the special Delray dinner deals $49 for three courses the atmosphere the food service all worth it I can't wait to return again and take friends to see what a beautiful setting in the heartbeat of Delray you can have dinner and feel like you are on vacation ....

Sundy house has been a favorite for many years (decades) and through many changes in management. The one consistent thing is that the gardens are absolutely breath taking and sitting outdoors spread out is helpful to keep a party private, away from covid or if you're having an intimate dinner this is helpful. This is one of the few places you can be 6 feet apart from other tables. However, because you're outdoors and so spread apart don't expect perfect service. It takes a while to walk back and forth to the various tables. The Sunday brunch has been through many changes. I miss many of the old things like the Havana nights and the old Sundy brunch. Currently they have prime rib and salmon on the hot bar is excellent. They also had turkey which I didn't try. The salads are fresh and have some great toppings. They have a raw bar but I don't eat those. They have crab legs and shrimp however the shrimp currently has a seasoning on it that I don't care for and I love all kinds of shrimp but not this. I wish they would leave them plain as shrimp are delicious without that seasoning. The omelette bar is gone. They have eggs Benedict but they are overcooked. There is a nice selection of ice cream and desserts that changes throughout the meal. I was able to get a tiny apple cider donut. A few months ago they had a great tiramisu. I didn't try anything else as I had allergy concerns. Overall, you go for the view. FYI. Although the service may not be perfect please note that your gratuity is automatically included and they do fail to mention that and they do include a line for additional tip for your convenience. Valet parking is also available. I recommend you dress up and take some photos with your group.

Loved this place! The service was awesome the food was great, the ambiance was lovely! We ordered the dynamite rice, fish tacos, and swordfish! The server was fabulous and knowledgeable about the menu. The rice was great, lots of flavors, the tacos were light but bland for me.., the swordfish was really good! The gardens are are treat to walk around in . This is definitely a date night place!!! Very romantic then you can walk to Atlantic Avenue to burn off the calories! Everyone was friendly. I cannot wait to return to this place and try something else or come earlier in the day.

I enjoyed a very nice dinner last night to celebrate my wife's birthday. We had an outdoor table for five, and we were very COVID-19 safe. The menu is different than it was prior to Covid, and is best described as contemporary Florida cuisine. The portions were large and the quality was quite good. The pricing is pretty typical, but the Benefit is being outdoors in a beautiful setting. Nearby restaurants for quality food do not offer the same level of distance between others, unfortunately, which is what led us to choose this restaurant over a excellent restaurant up the street. We were very pleased and our service was very good too. On a Tuesday evening some of the menu items were amended, which is understandable given the ups and downs of the restaurant business and how orders are made. Instead of shrimp, I had scallops and grits and it was still very good. The fish tacos were also nice and can be a entrée when ordering two. I highly recommend this place and its Taru menu. Why not give 5 stars? There was no attendant at the valet stand, and no signage Explaining what to do. Upon entry, I found a lone bartender Who explained that there was only self parking, and that we were to park where the valet normally does: A sandy dark lot adjacent to the property. The poor communication to guests on this created a minor hassle for one of our party members

We love love love Sundy House! We've been about five times for bottomless brunch on Sunday and once for dinner. Every time, the staff has been wonderful, friendly, and accommodating. It's about 75$ a person for the brunch and just an FYI, gratuity is included in the bill, so be sure to plan for a pricy meal. The food is great! I love the eggs Benedict, there are two kinds. My boyfriend loves the pancake bar and bananas foster syrup. The dessert, everything is great. There is an acre of land where you can walk around and enjoy your drinks while taking in the scenery. It's beautiful.

This review is specifically about Valentines Day, hopefully another evening would be better but Valentines Day as a disaster! We had reservations for 8:15, we arrived a little before 8 and told we would be seated closer to the time of our reservation. The poor bartender was totally overwhelmed with the amount of people, she had no help, and no idea what sorts of liquor she had. Ok, this wasn't so bad. But we waited, and waited and waited for a table. Finally around 9:00 my boyfriend said I'm going to get us a table. He got us seated in a back room where ever table was complaining they either had no food, their food was cold, they didn't get what they ordered - I have never seen anything like this! It was a very expensive prix fix menu. When the waitress finally took our drink and food order we didn't see her again for at least a half hour. Another waitress noticed we had been sitting a long time with no food or drinks, she was able to find us some bread, then our drinks. Eventually our appetizers came out. They came out before the salad. Then the entrees. Mine was good, my boyfriend's piece of fish was all broken and kind of overcooked. The waitress just ignored us when we told her. Last was dessert. The bread pudding was a dry, warmish lump of barely edible bread. They were out of crème brûlée which my boyfriend had ordered earlier and was told only chocolate cake remained. Another table right next to us ordered dessert 5 minutes after us and was given the additional choices of cheesecake & key lime pie. When the $300 bill came the waitress did take off 20% for the trouble we had put up with. We vowed we'll never dine out on Valentines Day again. But if you dare, don't come to Sunday House.

Bridgette was the best server ever! I've never had someone more attentive and nice. We never had to ask for a refill, it was always there already. We had a big group and she handled it with ease. The food was great and so was the service. I can see why this is one of the best brunches in town. Would recommend to anyone. Bridget is the best

We had a 5 pm reservation. My husband and I really wanted to sit under the gazebo and they had noted it for our reservations that was scheduled a week in advance. The restaurant is beautiful and has a nice tropical garden in the back. The service was excellent from start to finish. We had a special for the 3 course meal for $49.00. The food was amazing. Our waitress Amber was great she answered all our questions and brought our food out quickly. We had a wonderful time and I will be recommending this place to others!
