Excellent breakfast. We did the sit down & ordered waffles, eggs benedict & oatmeal. The oatmeal was beautiful! The buffet looked perfect for families with hungry kids. The food was incredible. Service was amazing. Only reason why I gave it a 4.5 is because I don't think there is a patio.

Pour une 3e visite, très très déçu, beau choix de buffet, mais tout était froid oeufs, saucisses, bacon,les petites patates, pas de nappe sur les tables, tu dois déposer ustensiles direct sur la table, il y avait des oeillets mais la nôtre était tellement fané qu elle était sèche, pour le resto du château très très décevant, je n y retournerai & recommanderai plus qualité prix ça ne vaut pas la peine .

The breakfast experience here was surprisingly disappointing for a hotel of this level.

First, the selection was quite limited. More importantly, the fruit was clearly not fresh. The strawberries looked wilted, & when I tried one it tasted dry, sour, & almost bitter.

Second, the waiting system was very poorly managed. We had to wait around 30 minutes just to get seated. During that time we asked the front desk three separate times, & each time we were told it would be another 10-15 minutes.

Only after we became visibly frustrated did they suddenly say a table was available & let us in.

If you can't host that many guests for breakfast, get more tables. Plus, the food was NOR WORTH the wait anyways..

La cuisine est 5 étoile j'ai agréablement aimé l'expérience. Il n'y avais pas de musique quand nous sommes venu, le reste étais nickel, très très propre & soigné comme restaurant.
