Recently attended the brunch buffet with my family on the Saturday before Mother's Day. It was a fantastic meal and experience. The buffet included a series of high-end, well prepared selections (ribeye carving station, oysters, lobster tail, shrimp and decadent finger-sized desserts) along with solid, more customary breakfast choices (omelette station, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, fruit, bagels with lox, coffee/cappuccino, etc.).
Sneaky best part was their shredded hash browns.
My kids loved the mini bottles of maple syrup, Heinz ketchup, Tabasco, and Nutella (don't tell, but they might have pocketed one or two when walking out the door).
Special weekend brunch buffets at other pricey Boston establishments many times offer a wide assortment of pastries/croissants/teas that look pretty, but don't include the more substantial carving station and raw bar that One + One does.
Our waitress was attentive and gladly took a picture of our group. The buffet was constantly being refreshed so patrons were not having to wait for the more popular dishes.
There was not a pasta station, but that personally wasn't a problem because I don't enjoy pasta for brunch.
The dining room felt a little small, but the efficient and thoughtful lay out allowed for the free flow of both staff and patrons. The avocado toast looked better than it tasted and I didn't love their version of a Cesar salad, but those were my only minor food complaints.
I look forward to attending again for a special occasion and (although I can't believe I'm writing this) felt we received good value for the $95 per...

Recently came here to try the weekend brunch buffet at the hotel. While other restaurants at the hotel were at capacity, the place was less than half full despite coming in during their peak hours. After reading some reviews, we were initially a bit concerned about their service, but throughout the meal, we only had pleasant interactions with all the staffs including the manager, receptionist, and our server.
As soon as our server took our drink order, we took off to browse through their food selections. It was quite small but still had everything that I was hoping for. I really liked that they offered a refreshing start with some lobsters, cocktail shrimps, and oysters. Some of my other favorites were their Swiss cheese frittata, shakshouka, and their dessert selections. For regular entrées, they only had carbonara gnocchi and prime rib, and both were good quality. My only complaint was that the yogurt parfaits were kept at room temp, and it would’ve been much better if they were served cold.
As far as I know, this is the only upscale brunch buffet experience in the city, and overall, they exceeded our expectations. This may not be the option if you’re looking for piles of different food, but if you’re looking for a classy brunch experience with high quality food, I would highly recommend...
Read moreWhile visiting Boston, my wife and I decided to experience the breakfast buffet at the One and One restaurant in the Four Seasons Hotel, One Dalton Street.
It was a wonderful experience. The restaurant itself was elegant with plenty of natural light and modern appointments. The staff was welcoming and very attentive. Best of all... The food selections. There was everything that you could possibly want! We started with raw bar selections that included oysters, shrimp cocktail, lobster salad, and lobster tails. All super fresh and tasty! Next, we enjoyed their salad bar which had offering from spinach, salad, tomatoes and mozzarella, and avocado toast. If this wasn't enough, there were offerings of eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, pancakes, and an omelet bar. I almost forgot to get mention the carving station! After you enjoy a sampling of the mant offerings, you can sample array of tasty desserts. My favorites were there Blueberry cheesecake, the chocolate raspberry cake, mini fruit tarts, and bon bons!
I would highly recommend the weekend brunch for a special occasion. You will not be...
