Like many restaurants these days, there is a shortage of servers. Luckily the Sunday brunch at Banchetti's is set up buffet style, so we only depended on the server for bringing fresh coffee and drinks to our table. The server was trying her best and was friendly. Some in our group were waiting for her to return with creamer, so their coffee was getting cold. It had been a good five years or so since I had brunch at Banchetti's. Much of it is the same, food wise. Several lunch items: salad and fruit station, Pastas, meatballs, shrimp with rice, breaded chicken with arugula, breakfast items - scrambled eggs, bacon, waffles, two pastry tables. The omelette station is a huge draw for a brunch. It's the major food item. I choose a vegetable omelette. Unfortunately the eggs in the omelette were not cooked fully. The omelette was runny on the inside. The vegetables were not cooked enough either. My mother had the same experience with her omelette. Why would an inexperienced chef be working the omelette station? We were very disappointed. I could make a better omelette at home. The roast beef didn't look appetizing. I skipped that. Looked dried out. The seafood risotto rice dish with too few shrimp was a bit too cheesy for my liking. This was the only seafood item. The breaded chicken with arugula and butternut squash tortellini were better in comparison. I enjoyed the fresh fruit salad. The waffles and fresh toast casserole were tasty. I had a scone with my coffee at the end of the meal. It was nice. Brunch, all you can eat buffets at $24.95 for an adult is fair for all they offer. Yet they should definitely improve the quality of their omelette service. Solid 3 to 4 stars for food. The Christmas decor was lovely, very festive atmosphere. For service and ambiance a solid 4-5.

This review is for the summer concert series they have in the Grove. It's a nice setup with chairs and tables, covered by tents, and grill food available. There also are drinks but it's a cash bar only (credit cards ok for food) and not advertised that way, so bring cash. There are indoor bathrooms but the stalls don't lock which made it amusing to watch drunkies walk in on people. It was well lit, sound system was a little fuzzy on vocals, but overall it was a fun night. I advise not paying for the VIP seats though as they were off to the side without a view and also not covered by a tent. Side note about the actual banquet center- last party my family hosted there, they threw out the extra food and cake we brought without asking. That wasn't their decision and we lost what we paid for. Ask in the beginning to keep the leftovers.

Maybe chicken french?

Worst Father's Day brunch you could have. No drink refills, no one clearing plates, cold food...never again.

Buffalo Catering Co did an amazing job catering my wedding this past weekend at the Botanical…read moreGardens. The staff were so attentive to myself and my groom; making sure we had a drink before we walked down the aisle, making sure they knew our drink preferences for the night, and several times seeking us out wherever we were with a readymade drink (mixed and just water) to make sure we were lubricated and hydrated. They also made us 6-8 covered plates of a sampling of all the catered foods and set it at our table for when we finally got to sit down AND they brought us and the wedding party hors d'oeuvres immediately after the ceremony while we were getting ready for photos. I had purchased one of those 7lb cans of luxardo cherries to go with cocktails for the night and of course got cherry juice on my fluffy white dress and one of the bartenders deftly and quickly saved my dress with some club soda too! Everything was beautiful and tasty and there were several compliments on the food. We already loved Joe's Deli and Buffalo Catering is even lovelier. Highly recommend you let them cater your wedding and suggest you ignore the review on here by a wedding attendee about running out of food. Running out of food is a planning mistake and not the fault of the caterer if they didn't know about the correct numbers or the family didn't take their advice and instead bought less that was suggested! Our food amounts were seemingly perfect as far as I can tell (as advised by the caterer based on our attendee numbers) and we did a grazing menu: a great variety of delicious slider sandwiches, a bruschetta bar, two orders of charcuterie, two orders of cheeses, vegetable and fruit plates, and four types of hors d'oeuvres with enough for each person to have at least 2 of each. Open bar package with beer, wine and cocktails as well. Again, can't say enough, they did a stupendous job and I felt so cared for and taken care of. PS: I don't have any photos of the sandwiches yet but I'm sure they exist. They were DELICIOUS!

Great food and fast service! Rachel was super helpful, and they were able to cater a funeral…read moreservice for us with just a few days notice. It was incredibly helpful during a very stressful time and very appreciated! (Even in grief, the beef on weck sliders got rave reviews.) Thanks again.
