Well what a disappointment. Had to wait for ten minutes before anyone came to the entrance (where I’d been directed to wait by a server) and then the not inexpensive American breakfast involved the world’s smallest sausages, over cooked fried potatoes and dry toast. I should have left the hotel and found a good quality diner where I sure I would have had a far better start to my day.

Food was overpriced and overcooked. Place was empty and there were cobwebs on our booth.... pretty off-putting. Mimi, the server was attentive, very friendly and tried her best to make our experience the best it could be. Will not eat here again. That said, best dry chicken wings I've had in quite some time(get the sauce on the side) Do not get the ribs....

This place is very likable. You don't want to marry it but it's fun to flirt with it every once in a while. This was the first non-buffet style brunch I have been to here. The price was decent enough at 36 bucks per person. That did include unlimited mimosas and a three course meal. Do not order the bread baskets! It's not the carb heaven you think it is. See photo. So moving past the appetizers boring you death with their oats and salads, let's move on to the real deal Holyfield. That mother effin chicken waffles is way too good! I mean blast my taste buds in too space because nothing else on Earth may ever compare. The shrimp looked good but I did not order it because it only gives two tacos. I mean who only eats two tacos, it's at least three minimum. The desert was meh. The ambience was clean but felt very humid and a little too warm.
I stayed at the Beacon Hotel and dined in their restaurant twice. The first time was for happy hour where I was thoroughly unimpressed. My first two drinks were free as a result of receiving complimentary drink coupons as a perk from the hotel, but I was still thoroughly, thoroughly unimpressed. I had a champagne specialty cocktail that was disgusting and the bartender was hard to track down. He either wasn't behind the bar or was playing on his cell phone( I've included a photo). We had the wings and quesadillas, Neither of which were good. They drink specials were decent though and it was nice to get three dollar beer and lemon drop shots, and the specialty mule cocktail was pretty good but didn’t make up for the poor service and nasty food.
After that experience I had a bad taste in my mouth but the Sunday brunch managed to make up for that horrible visit. I booked an 11:00 reservation on Open Table and was seated immediately when I arrived. The buffet was beautiful and bountiful. Everything was delicious. I was so happy with the wide array of options from classic breakfast foods to salads and desserts to lunch items and Caribbean flavor dishes. The options were endless. I particularly enjoyed the omelette station even though the chef there gave me someone else’s omelette and told me I was mistaken when I informed him of this. The other person came to claim their omelette, so thankfully he realized that I knew I was talking about. He also gave another woman a hard time saying she didn’t ask for a certain item in her omelette when I was standing there and heard her ask for it. Our server Tom was fantastic! He brought our Mamosa’s immediately and refilled them frequently, remembering to check on us and clear our empty plates as well. We both loved the decor and atmosphere of the dining room as well. This is a great place for an amazing Sunday brunch or to celebrate a special occasion or treat friends from out of town. I highly recommend the brunch but wouldn’t do the happy hour again.
My mom and I stayed at the Beacon Hotel and went to the restaurant for dinner. Except for another couple, the place was empty playing 80s very loudly. The burger was okay, fries were cold. The restaurant needs some serious remodel, wallpaper peeling, rugs dirty- front reception desk not staffed. The server was nice - she was the only redeeming quality. We won’t be back.

First time. The service and food were excellent. The bartender was the greatest.because we chose to sit in the bar area we didn't have to wait long. Highly recommend
Brunch is always good here. Lots of food selections and bottomless mimosas. They serve Lavazza coffee and the staff is nice and friendly!! Valet parking is a bit pricy at $20 and a reservation is recommended.
Good stuff, strong mimosas. My issues are the omelet station, didn't have egg whites and the only meat they had was bacon. They used to have shrimp, Ham and turkey. He was also not very friendly. Greek salad with no dressing, and terrible beef "stew". I think our servers name was John, he was nice. The best thing they had was the waffles! It's not as great as it used to be.
