   The food wasn’t very good. For $150 per person, I expected a much higher quality of food.

   It was our first time there and we were blown away with the standard of the food, service and the hotel . It was a beautiful way to spend Christmas.

   Overall, it was a fun experience. I would have liked more cooked vegetables and a side of gravy (au jus doesn’t count as gravy). I liked the soft jazz music (2 musicians). And, the service was good.

   Such a lovely experience. We are considering making this a Christmas tradition for our family. The music was very relaxing and really set the Christmas mood. The food flavors were exceptional. Everything was fresh and warm. The hot chocolate bar was was very unique…(melted chocolate to drink) our daughter loved it! Not to mention the sights of the chocolate fountain! The only thing that would make it better would be, warm crab legs that wouldn’t gelatinize your fresh drawn butter! This seems to be a strange Colorado thing though. Dinner did feel very family friendly, in an inviting way. I also found it refreshing that the service staff was full of varied ages.

   Was disappointed with the overall experience for the price paid. To me, afternoon tea should be more intimate. The atmosphere was under whelming and felt thrown together with not much festive thought. We were a group of 5 at a big table, so pretty spread out. It made it difficult to talk and hear one another. The service was pretty poor. We waited a long time for someone to bring water and then a long time to get our order. The person taking our orders didn’t know anything about the teas. I had to wait a long time to ask for milk or cream after my tea came, so it got cold. I love doing the traditional English tea experience and this didn’t not hit the mark.

   Wonderful Gingerbread Tea event. Great tea, food, and activity for kids. Setting and tablescapes were beautiful. Staff was very attentive and professional. Thank you to Philippe.

   Great experience! Grandson and I enjoyed ourselves immensely - tasty treats (he especially liked the grilled cheese squares), a variety of teas and other beverages, lovely atmosphere and superb service. Highly recommend!

   Disorganized - could not find reservation (made in August) and I had to point it out on their seating chart. Tea was in a ballroom and lacked ambiance. Food arrived cold (must have been pre-plated and waiting). And, worst of all, diners should have been notified that this was primarily a children's tea. CHILDREN WERE ALLOWED TO RUN THROUGHOUT THE AREA, SCREECH, SCREAM, DO CARTWHEELS AND COMPLETELY DISRUPT THE AMBIANCE.

   We were at Jill's for the Thanksgiving Grand Buffet, so this is not a review of the restaurant itself as ordering off of a menu might have led to a different experience. We were at the 3:00 seating - when I booked it looked as though the buffet was open until 6:00. We came to find out that 3:00 was the last seating but, "we can take our time and stay as long as we wish". The food was not that different than any holiday buffet, I thought it might be more elegant for the price. The food was warm, not hot. I realize a buffet style is difficult to keep hot but I have seen restaurants do this on a consistent basis and so wonder why the St Julien cannot achieve this level of service. Perhaps I did not read the web page thoroughly enough when deciding on Jill's, but we were disappointed that there was not full bar service, rather just pre-made prosecco drinks of various types. On walking out of the hotel we discovered the full service bar and it would have been nice for the wait staff to mention that we could go over to the bar and bring drinks back. The wait staff was good. The ambience was good in that even with a large number of people, it was easy to carry on conversation. We may give Jill's another visit but not for a buffet.

    We have enjoyed the St. Julien Holiday Buffet for several years and always consider it a treat. A great selection of high quality food and service !
