    The food wasn’t as good as what it used to be. the Jefferson donut texture was like it was sitting for few hours. The risotto flavor was underwhelming and wasnt worth $33 a plate. It didnt taste like it was cooked in good broth. It just used lots of cheese to flavor it. It took 15 min to get someone and ask for red pepper flakes.

    Food was delicious and drinks were wonderful! Our only downfall was that we mentioned to our server we were celebrating multiple birthdays as we all live in different cities and states and we mentioned it several times during our visit and he never acknowledged it.. he saw all of our IDs so he knows we weren’t lying.. then when the bill came I gave him my card first to cover its entirety.. and then he proceeded to hide my card and listen to other girls about splitting the bill.. as a server in passed years, YOU ALWAYS TAKE THE FIRST CARD THATS GIVEN TO YOU. That was also disappointing.

    I usually dine at the DC location but this was closer to my hotel. I visited during my birthday weekend and was able to indulge in the brunch buffet. Overall I will say that they food was good! Some dishes did lack flavor (seven cheese macaroni & hash browns) while others seemed like a rush batch cook (pancakes) BUT overall everything else was good! The price alone was great because you're not limited to one entree that you may or may not be able to make substitutions for. I will definitely return!

    Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we are happy you chose to celebrate your birthday weekend with us, Sierra! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the brunch buffet overall.

    I took my husband here for brunch for the first time, and although he was underwhelmed by the brunch selections they had, he did love their pancakes. I absolutely love this place, I come here all the time for brunch with my girlfriends, it’s always a 10 out of 10 for me.

    We had a reservation and were seated within a few minutes of our arrival - just enough time for us to get a view of the buffet. The buffet was well staffed and had a wide variety of items to choose from. Since this was our first visit, the hostess who seated us gave good description of buffet and explained the menus and beverages. Our waiter, Aaron, was just as good, introducing himself, explaining and taking our drink orders, and keeping track of the needs of our table and I'm sure, the others he was responsible for. A manager, Dean, stopped by to answer our questions about Founding Farmer and to make sure we had what we needed and our expectations were being met. Both he and our waiter Aaron were very pleasant, helpful, and met our needs in the midst of a very busy environment.

    Need more options for those who need to have a better selection with food items. Cut back on the oil for the crab dip and less dressing in the salads.

    This was my first time eating there. The food was good but not great. It may have been just what I ordered. I would eat there again and try a different dish before making a solid opinion
