    Brunch with Santa - I have to say the place was clean and welcoming with music playing. There was a realistic looking Santa where photos were taken with children and families. The photographer was good as well. The buffet was filled with various foods from breakfast to lunch. However, the lunch selection wasn't as good as it was years ago. For the money we spent, it was a actually disappointing. The turkey, ham, and salmon were overcooked. The ham had a gamy flavor and the sauce that went with it was heavily seasoned with cloves, making it very pungent. The fancy named turkey gravy was bland. There was a beet salad which didn't have a good flavor. The good - getting together with family for a low stress brunch, and oh, the desserts.

    Wonderful breakfast with Santa experience. The restaurant was not overbooked and the dining pace was perfect. The buffet was good and the service was excellent.

    We went for breakfast with Santa. There was an excellent selection of food options (gluten and dairy free in our party). The service was amazing and we didn’t feel rushed at all. I would definitely do this event again.

    Sunday brunch at the Desmond is always outstanding. From the initial greeting to the final goodbye, and everything in between, you are left with a feeling of importance. They make you feel so welcomed!

    We were disappointed that only dark meat turkey was available for the Thanksgiving Buffet. White meat turkey only came out when we were just finishing our meal.

    Had a reservation, but the occupants of the table to which we were assigned had not left. We had to wait 15 minutes whereas other parties of two were seated ahead of us. This system is grossly unfair and if you arrive ahead of others, you should be seated, not cooling your heels in the hallway.

    Our family enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving this year at the Desmonde. Everyone from my 91yo Mom to my vegan 25yo neice and all the rest of us really enjoyed the food. The price was reasonable and it was so nice this year to skip the grocery shopping, housecleaning, table setting, food prepping & cooking and especially the cleanup at my home like all the years before. We all said we would do it again.
