    I arrived for my reservation to find they were NOT in fact serving tea although I had made a reservation for tea well in advance. The lovely concierge had quite a time figuring out what was happening and couldn’t even find the food and beverage manager. When he finally DID find her she told us they were revamping the tea service, but she “didn’t notice my reservation” so I was not informed. A pretty tepid attempt at an apology followed including an invitation to have lunch in the bar- we saw NO ONE with any food, which made an unappealing option even more so. “We can comp a few things for you” Such an unprofessional handling of the whole situation.

    The breakfast was nice and hot and because the buffet was ending and they were not serving the dessert I had originally planned to have my waiter told me I could take some pastries. They had the most delicious almond croissant I’ve ever had, I wish I had gotten two more for the flight home.

    We expected a beautiful French breakfast w options like eggs Benedict, gourmet style French toast…terrible cheap hotel buffet w barely warm items and minimal choices. No carving station, no omelette station - literally the cheapest lowest grade breakfast in Rittenhouse. The Sofitel should be ashamed. It was so not worth the walk across town. We only learned after overhearing another table complain, that we could order off a menu vs the super low grade over priced buffet. No clue if they offered bloody Mary’s or mimosas. The waitress barely wanted to serve us. I think she was the only one in the room which must be why they pushed us to the buffet and didn’t given the menu option or a drink option. Don’t waste your time here. Even if you are a hotel guests-so many better choices every where. You trip over good restaurants in this neighborhood. Chez Colette is only there to rip off the Sofitel guests.

    This was a 2 HOUR lunch! Only one server so I can’t blame him but it would definitely have been 30 min longer had I not asked about the status of our lunch or for our bill. The food and drink were delicious but I can’t say I’d come here again because it took too long. Also the restaurant closes at 11 so you sit at the hotel bar for lunch

    It’s too bad with just a little effort this place could be a great little french cafe bistro, but it’s not. food is mediocre, service is slow and inattentive, ambiance is garish and bright and it’s over priced. what a shame.

    Our previous experiences here were always good but this time we were seated in the lounge which is under renovation and were told that they had forgotten to shut down open table for that evening as the dining room was closed. They did serve us food but we were the only ones. Meal should have been on the house.

    The menu looks French and they say Bonjour when you enter but it really is just a hotel coffee shop. I love a classic French Omelette and seeing one on the menu along with a Croque Madam, we decided to give it a try on a Sunday morning. Neither was any good, unfortunately. The French omelette was a hard cooked (and browned) diner omelette with ham and (Gruyère) cheese with some chives sprinkled on top. The croque madam was two thick pieces of brioche with ham in the middle, gloppy béchamel ladled on top with an (undercooked) fried egg on top. So, a disappointment. On the plus side the service and atmosphere were nice.

    I booked breakfast here knowing that it was attached to the hotel, but not knowing that it was a hotel buffet instead of a regular restaurant. I felt this should have been more clear on OpenTable reservations as it wasn't the ambiance I was looking for. I asked if we had to do the buffet and was told it was all that was available. Food was decent, although the eggs were disappointing for a $22 fee. Service was very friendly but seemed rushed and disorganized. Ambiance was loud and not relaxing. A lot of people shuffling around due to the buffet. For a hotel buffet, it was fine, but it shouldn't be advertised as a restaurant that requires reservations.

    This is my go-to for business breakfasts in Center City. Good food, quiet enough for a conversation. Service is professional but slow.
