So this review is a true mix. I am staying at the hotel attached to the Creekside Cafe. So for breakfast Monday and Thursday the morning waitress staff seems to make the littlest effects for greeting customers. Granted it is buffet style breakfast. Monday and Tuesday, no descriptions on the hot food, had to get my own coffee and water. The biggest thing is that they don't open the front entrance. Even though the signs are posted to enter in one location. Confusing at best, Wednesday through Sunday it's like a completely different vibe. Greeted by a very nice staff that opens on time, food is labeled, coffee and water is on the table and the front entrance is open. The food is really good, and OYG you need to come for Sunday Brunch. So I have decided to come for dinner. Got off work late and didn't want to go out. Well my dinner options were not much. Granted I did show up at 9:30, the bartender didn't see/recognize me until 9:50 and said that the kitchen was closing in 10 minutes. My dinner options were chocolate cake or cheese cake. Asked for an Irish coffee. No coffee so the option given was an Expresso martini to go with the chocolate cake. No water given (asked for) plastic fork and no napkins. I had to get my own. Been coming here for over 10 years. Before 2021 the bar...
   Read moreMyself and six of my family members attended the Mother's Day brunch yesterday at Creekside Cafe at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. We were disappointed by the brunch this year and won't be returning next year. Several of the items listed on the advertised menu were not available (smoked salmon, mashed potatoes), and many of the hot items were cold and/or undercooked. The waffles were cold and dry. The boursin hash browns were undercooked (crunchy potatoes) and cold, even when a fresh pan was brought out. By the time we were going up for a second plate, many things were running out and when we asked they were gone with no plan to replace them. My niece really wanted mac and cheese but it was gone before she could take any. This was at 12:45 pm. As far as I knew the brunch lasted until 2 pm.
Also, our $10 mimosas were all orange juice. There was no champagne in them.
Our experience this year was completely different from last year, however. Everything was amazing last year.
I understand inflation has affected everyone, but $39 per person for brunch is a lot of money. We spent nearly $400 and left feeling disappointed ($70 of our bill was just orange juice in a champagne glass).
Additionally, my sister found a whipped cream can cap...
   Read moreWe were attending an event at the hotel this restaurant is in so we decided to try dinner there. The menu is limited and with food sensitivities I had some trouble picking something I could eat. I did have the usual trouble getting a non-alc drink without the things I can't have in it since they don't carry anything with real sugar.The food was all right, but not what I'd expect for the price.
Sunday's brunch was all aces though-- excellent spread of diverse foods, all well-prepared and kept ready. Someone could even have chocolate cake for breakfast if they wanted-I almost did!
I'd go back for the brunch and maybe the Friday pasta bar, but not really interested in the...
