    Is one might expect eating at the Trump is usually expensive. My only concern was that the food was good but not great. A $23 French toast should be brioche bread thick cut not standard bread standard slices. The bacon was cool if not cold. Which of course means it was made in bulk at an earlier time. We waited nearly 40 minutes for our food and regardless of how busy you are they should’ve made the food fresh. Especially when it was ordered à la cart and we paid à la cart prices. The view is priceless and the facility itself is beautiful. One can’t complain about seeing Lake Michigan from their window while eating breakfast. Coffee was excellent if a little weak. But that’s just a personal preference. Premium pricing is acceptable under the circumstances but not with the current quality of food. This was average food in a above average setting and left us wanting for something a little more exciting and interesting. I could understand if it was a buffet but to serve cool or relatively older food rather than freshly make it and preserve it to the table piping hot is not acceptable. Still a great experience.

    I made reservations for two very dear friends to celebrate their 35th wedding anniversary. The staff of the restaurant went way beyond my expectations to make my dear friends, special day, eventful, and an everlasting memory for them. The employees of the restaurant signed an anniversary card for them with personalized sentiments. The little things they did made a lasting impression. I highly recommend the Albert not only for the food and the ambience but for the employees that will care for you during your meal; making it more than a meal.
