Maybe it was worth that extra money and I just didn't know because I wasn't willing to wait around. But I couldn't get close enough to get a photo. I also saw the prime rib that was advertised. I did see people with crab legs and in a corner. It was completely cramped with people elbowing each other.

It was hard to believe we were being asked to pay 80 bucks per adult and I believe $40 or $45 per child for what was essentially a Marriott level breakfast as well as some seafood. I got bored and went to check out the food. We had to wait in a very pretty foyer for around 15 minutes. I'm willing to be wrong about this however. I would have been sat long before my 9:45 reservation. But let's say if I had showed up at 9:15. My understanding was that they had a sign out front stating that reservations had priority. Reservations don't mean you have a table apparently. We finally got checked in around 10:05 I believe. The line moved decently quick but it was still weird to have to wait with reservations. There was a whole line of roughly 40 people waiting who all had reservations. My husband was very proud that he had gotten brunch reservations here for Mother's Day.

Mediocre hotel level food, reservations mean nothing, stunning ambience especially outside
