   The food was cold when it should have been hot. It was over cooked.

   The food was amazing! The check-in process was a little complicated. We got there 15 minutes early and no more valet service was available so I had to park in the back. Our service was excellent he kept the champagne flowing and was quick to remove the plates. The added bonus was meeting Mr. Rosen too!

   "I love the relaxed feel of this place – like a comfortable dining room in a friends home. I definitely would return to try more dishes. Everyone loved the carving station. Service was well-timed and friendly, the mimosas where good and strong, very delicious

   I love this brunch. The only thing I experienced this time was that some of the chicken was overcooked and some things were cold.

   Everything was just average, nothing was outstanding. Most of the food was pretty basic, only above average items were the seafood. Service was really poor and wait staff had to be chased to clear the table.

   Overall experience was great. Service was excellent. Definitely a team effort by all the servers. Our drinks were constantly being refilled and dirty dishes removed. Food was wonderful. Great selection and everything was very tasty. Would recommend this buffet experience to everyone.

   We paid a really expensive amount of money for a subpar experience which soured my wife’s Mother’s Day brunch. The food was unpalatable and the mimosas was watered down. We were extremely disappointed and felt we would have been better served at a Golden Corral. We will be requesting a refund and would not recommend this event to anyone.

    The Easter Brunch was outstanding. There were so many stations/ options it was hard to choose. We had a party of nine and were sat in semi private area, which was great.

    Easter Brunch buffet. The variety and quality of food was very good. The main dining room was quite crowded and busy, but we were seated in a side room which was much quieter. Staff was very pleasant, friendly and eager to please.

    First time in and for Easter Brunch. My husband and I loved it. Food is amazing. So many choices. Great deserts too. They have some small portions which is nice to sample lots of treats. A bit crowded but expected it. Still - you can easily get food quickly. The only thing we could not understand is how/where to obtain drinks - we thought Mimosa was standard- had to ask for coffee and water. When we did ask, we got great service, just not sure waiting until people ask for drinks is the best service option. Especially if Mimosa was advertised as part of the menu. We don’t drink, but would have loved a non alcoholic option on Mimosa.

    The service and replenishing of buffet was outstanding. Everything was always full, and fresh. The restaurant decor is a little bland. (Maybe due to the arrangement for holiday buffet). We ate inside the restaurant and some tables were outside for the Easter Brunch. The outside tables did not appeal to us as they are in the hotel corridor. There was a very good variety of items to choose from and many dessert tables which were creative in decoration. We did a special package that included a discount. Management checked on us several times as did our servers.

    For being such a busy Easter brunch, the staff was very friendly and attentive. Plates were removed quickly and our drink glasses were always filled. The food was great in both quality and quantity. There was something for everyone. We especially enjoyed all the desserts. The made to order chocolate peanut butter crepes were to die for!

    Great selection of food. They had salmon, fried chicken, short ribs, shrimp, tortellini, slice prime rib, two soups, a salad bar, shrimp cocktail station, a variety of different cheeses with crackers and more than seven dessert, cakes and pies with a soft serve sundae ice cream station. Great service would definitely come back.

    This place was empty of patrons - for good reasons. No greeter. Seat yourself please. Food choices poor. 18% automatic tip at a buffet for a party of six!!! All the server did was bring us drinks and a bill. Then the app payment wanted to also add another 18% tip and could not be edited to remove this. What an expensive joke of a restaurant!!!

    Salad bar and appys fresh. Soups barely luke warm. Entrees mostly gross. Sirloin was leather, salmon was dry and green beans were overcooked and gross. Chicken wings ok, mashed potatoes delicious. And that was the entire dinner bar other than a handful of desserts (literally a better dessert selection then dinner).

    For 3 adults and one child we payed about $300 because tip and service fees were added.I don’t understand how 60 a person and 30 a child came up to $300. We had reservations for 4:30 but didn’t get to eat until 5:09.We never received napkins or silverware but we found some forks by the salad bar.Coffee never came because he was busy. My daughter wanted tea and she couldn’t get that either. Dessert was outstanding and hotel was beautiful and clean.

    Ridiculous to be forced to pay $30 for a tip for a lack lusting service, flat soda, and going through a circus to even get seated and to pay for our meal. Food was ok but not worth $70 a Person. Should have kept our orginal plans and gone to Texas De Brazil.

    We visited Cafe Gauguin for Christmas Brunch. It was very crowded. Our reservation was for 4:30. After visiting the check-in station and then waiting in line again to pay. We went to another line to turn in our receipt. We were told it would be a 7 minute wait and to help ourselves to mimosas and food in the waiting area. The mimosas were great. Friendly bartender. However, the food was mostly gone. There were some vegetables (few) and fruit (again a few pieces), no cheese was left and there were some crackers. We had a seat and waited. After 10 minutes I went to check our status and was told that they had already called our name and we would need to wait a little longer. This made me unhappy, but they took very soon after that. The ambiance was great. However, you could get lost in the venue trying to find the food. They did provide a map. Service was excellent! We were well taken care of by 1 main server and an assistant. The food was mostly cold. I noticed several chafing dishes with heaters that had gone out. There was a great variety of food, but it appeared we were too late in the day to get fresh, hot food. I tried an Eggs Benedict which was very tasty but cold and the English Muffin needed a chain saw to cut it. Bacon was cold. The ham was fine but the beef wasn’t very flavorful. Shrimp were fine as were the salads. The stars of the meal were the desserts! I tried pecan pie (delicious) and a wonderful French apple torte. All puddings/mousses were gone by the time we hit the desserts. The meal was average and I don’t think I will revisit this venue for special meals. These opinions are based on my experience at the Christmas Day Buffet. The restaurants normal operation may be quite different.

    It had been several years since we dined here for the Christmas buffet. My family and I were disappointed considering that we had dined at Rosen Shingle Creek last year. Immediately we could tell a difference from Shingle Creek with the check in station, the separate line to pay, the wait to have your name called, the confusion of being left by the person who was directing several parties to their tables. The buffet at Rosen Centre was different from years past in that there was fewer variety of dishes, less cooking stations, an unappealing salad bar, and unpleasant clientele, many of whom rushed around and hoarded food as if it weren’t being constantly replenished. Even more disappointing, most of the food was either lukewarm or cold. My husband had to request his food be heated in the microwave due to health reasons. Our server was very accommodating. The only thing I enjoyed about the buffet was the omelette bar and pistachio macarons.

    The food was very good. Not my first time there, so I knew it would be good. My grandchildren loved it and there was a big variety for them. I would come back every year rather than cook at home. The price has gone up a little too much for me. So I’m afraid I might get priced out. Living in central Florida it is nice to have great places to eat at your fingertips.

    Went for breakfast and it wasn’t busy. Buffet style, everything was hot and fresh. Our host and server were awesome. They don’t validate valet which is ok. That was about $35. I believe there is free parking in the back of hotel. Just give yourself time to park if you have reservations.
