    Perhaps a bit understaffed? Some confusion and delays getting menus and coffee to start, but server was extremely nice.

    Très cher. Mais service impeccable. Choix remarquable. Certains desserts étaient plutôt moyens. Une très belle expérience pour ma mère, qui avait 98 ans lors de notre visite!

    The wait staff were lovely, but the food and choice were a little underwhelming for such a nice restaurant/hotel. Prefer the Westin buffet.

    Not what you come to expect from a restaurant in the prestigious Château Laurier. Chairs were dirty, table sticky. Meals were mediocre, eggs undercooked. Waitress did not check in after plate drop off. We came for the buffet breakfast but turned to the menu as we were not inspired by the spread. Management needs to hit reset on this place.

    Waited significant time even to be acknowledged. Server never returned to ask if we needed anything. Buffet below average quality of food. We had a better breakfast buffet at the Delta hotel the day before. Save your money and dine elsewhere! Very disappointing considering the high on line reviews and a Fairmont property.

    We attended Sunday brunch May 4, 2025. It was very overpriced ($90pp) for what it was, basic buffet and no personal service. Would not recommend. Unfortunately this location does not meet typical “Fairmont Brunch” standards.

    Nice dining room and wait staff was excellent. Hostesses did not acknowledge our party when we approached. The selection was very minimal in comparison to many other brunch locations we have visited for special occasions and extremely overpriced for what was offered.
