    The brunch buffet was not at all worth the price and bottomless mimosas weren’t even included in the price. Some of the food like the French toast for example was very obviously not prepared by a chef and was most likely microwaved or steamed. Food quality was very poor. Buffet options were extremely limited for the price. Don’t plan on coming back.

    Wow my husband had just celebrated ringing the bell months ago and now for us to celebrate his birthday it was extremely special and TK and other hostess sing a birthday song to him it moved me to tears because just one year ago we had received life threatening news. But I will be back to Hens Quarter to only see TK and the front desk hostess.
