Adult family party of 4 for Sunday Brunch. This was our second visit to The Grand Hotel for Sunday Brunch. Our first visit was outstanding in every respect. This visit however was disappointing. 1) Service. Our server was not attentive to our needs, passing our table several times without offering to refill coffee or mimosas. I had to actually get up from my seat once to go ask him for coffee refills. 2) Food. Similar to our previous visit with the addition of crab legs. The crab legs were tasteless and overcooked. They would fall apart when opening the shells to remove the meat. I suppose one should not complain about crab legs but honesty is the best policy. The other dishes and appetizers were good to excellent but too many to evaluate separately. 3) Ambience. The Jazz group and solo guitarist saved the day. The music and vocals were quite enjoyable and added a festive touch to the beautiful holiday decor. Without the music, we would have given an overall rating of 3 stars or less.
