Came Sunday Morning for their new brunch buffet. Overall we enjoyed our experience and would happily return. The most exceptional part of our meal was the service. The general manager had a very hands on approach to guest hospitality and we all felt very welcome and our needs very well taken care of.
Im rating the brunch buffet 3/5 because there was a mix of great options and some glaring weaknesses that I hope they can sure up in the future, and if they do, ill come back and update the score. First issue was advertising. The website doesnt list the brunch, we only found it on facebook where it states the brunch starts at 10 and includes a bloody mary bar. The brunch in fact starts at 9 and no longer has a bloody bar.
The brunch also advertised a waffle bar which was in fact just a waffle maker with no toppings for the waffles. Instead there was just a warmer filled with soups and no bowls or spoons for the soups. I would personally rather see them ditch the soup and fill those containers with fruit toppings and syrups, or at least move the soup over by the salad bar. On the primary buffet line there was a strange mix of really good homemade recipes and what seemed like microwaved frozen food, i could personally just do without the chicken cordon blue and chicken tenders and would happily take in house broasted chicken.
Another complaint I had about the food was the biscuits. They were thin and super greasy. I'm not sure if they shallow pan fried them or what, but they were gross. I love a good traditional dry flakey biscuit with butter or gravy, and hopefully they can work on their recipe.
The rest of the food was top notch. I really enjoyed having mac n cheese and ribs with my eggs and porkies. The omlet bar was great. There was also a brisket table but that cost extra. It seemed pointless since the rest of the meat on the buffet was so good. I would personally rather see them have a ham carving station over ala...
Read moreA tale of ok and awful! Last nite, Friday 4.7, our party of 4 decided to try the Ten O One Club during their opening week....with high expectations. To start, we sat at the bar for an hour, enjoying reasonably priced drinks served by overworked bar staff. My suggestion here is for those 2 folks to keep their heads up, smile and see who is waiting and at least acknowledge them. We then waited an hour to get a table....which I expected on an Easter Friday nite. Once we were seated, it took about 15mn for our server to greet us....again expected being how busy it was. We then ordered appetizers (amazing flatbread and very unique and tasty cheese curds) and ordered our main courses. It took an hour to get our appetizers and then we waited another 45 mn for our main course...which we never received. The wait staff was inattentive...we had to keep flagging her down to get the same story...your food is coming. Well after all that time and one last attempt to find out when we could expect our meals, we finally said enough and told her we were leaving. She had earlier offered to us free desserts and then free appetizers, but this was the end for us. She did apologize and said they would cover the costs of the appetizers and drink....too little too late. We left disappointed.
Moral of this story, for us, stay away during restaurants opening week and if you decide to try...... be prepared to wait and endure...
Read moreThe 1001 Club has been one of my go to places since they reopened. I have always had very good food and enjoyed the experience. Last night I took my daughter there for her 50th birthday. I was not pleased. While the food was very good everything was cold. Not warm but cold!!! I ordered the special, pork belly, Mac and cheese with green beans. The Mac and cheese was bubbling in the ramekin. Both the pork belly and green beans were ice cold. I sent it back. When it was returned again the Mac and cheese was hot but rest was just tepid. My daughter ordered the chicken cordon blue. Again her chicken was grilled and hot but they had placed a pile of shaved ham on top with out warming it, covered it with cheese and broiled it until it was brown and bubbling, looked great. Wrong, the ham was cold so the chicken had cooled to just warm and her green beans we cold. I have always had great food and service but while the food tasted good it was disappointing. I hope this was an isolated incident but front the recently posted reviews it appears to have...
