    We were seated and the heat was hot on our backs. We were told our plates would be removed and we had to remove them. We had two bad drinks and we’re still charged. The price advertised was 11.00 less x8 is allot. Also, gratuity is not included. That is allot of extras. Total of 200.00 more than expected to spend.

    It was an odd start because someone from the restaurant called a couple of days before our reservation and seemed like she wanted us to cancel. However, once we were there, the service was absolutely amazing, the food was good, and it's hard to beat $6 bottomless mimosas. Every person we interacted with onsite was friendly and helpful. Altogether it was a great experience and we will definitely be going back again.

    I went to this brunch less than two months ago with some friends and it was $33 per person and included bottomless mimosas and bloodys. I made another reservation for my mom, aunts and I and was very surprised today to find out from our waitress that they had raised the price to $42 per person and it no longer included any drinks. I checked the website again and the old pricing and offerings are still advertised so I felt horrible for telling my group that it would only be $33 each plus tip. They wanted drinks as well so our total bill ended up being much higher than what I had communicated. The quality of the food is not worth the new higher price tag, all of our omelettes were hard as well - I even had to send mine back as I could barely chew it. Just wanted to share so this doesn't happen to anyone else. I will say our servers were great and the ambiance is still cool/it's a neat building. Just be prepared to pay higher than what is advertised - Roycroft team please update the website!

    OMG, the Roycroft Inn is spectacular. The food was amazing, the service made me feel special. We will be back. We drove over an hour to go to this place and well worth it. From the person (really awesome) who greeted us to the guy (so nice and efficient) cutting the Roast Beef to our waitress Lynn who was outstanding. Lynn took great care of us. It was so appreciated.

    We came to celebrate a 80th and a 50th Birthday. Everything was wonderful. Our server was great as was the food and of course the Roycroft is always beautiful.

    Our experience was as expected for Sunday Brunch. Was disappointed to see the changes to the bar area, which aren't in keeping with the historic era of the Roycroft. In particular the bar stools, which look like they belong at the Woolworth's lunch counter. We generally prefered to sit in this smaller intimate space for brunch, but it is no longer that with this renovation. Sitting in the main dining room is noisy and crowded and difificult to navigate thru the tables. Overall the service was good and the food choices and extra pricing for bottomless mimosas acceptable. Shout out to Sage our server ~ she was exceptional.
