Went for breakfast as we stayed at Waldorf Astoria. The service was top notch and impeccable. The servers are polite and thoughtful. Food variety was great, from standard scrambled eggs and omelets to smoked salmon and guacamole. Cheeseboard also was surprisingly tasty too! The overall place was a high end feeling and tropical feeling. Interior was classic and quiet, very calm and relaxing. Highly recommend for the breakfast experience here. read more

We had a free night to use at any Hilton property, so we took full advantage and booked a quick trip to Orlando to stay at the Waldorf Astoria. While our dinner at the poolside restaurant was terrible (that's a story for another review), our brunch at Oscar's more than made up for it. It's been two months and I'm STILL daydreaming about their homemade whipped cream! You can either order entrees a la carte, or pay $40 for the buffet. Do yourself a favor and pay the $40 -- it's so worth it (and it includes coffee and juice, by the way). My husband got an a la carte entree and he said the bacon and eggs I got from the buffet were fresher than his food. And considering he ordered a coffee with his meal, his ended up only costing about $6 less than my buffet. You name it, the buffet probably has it... an omelette station, a CREPE station (that I sadly forgot existed until I was too full to eat anything more), fantastic Neuske's bacon (cooked perfectly!), delicious breakfast potatoes, Belgian waffles, pastries, fresh fruit, smoked salmon... I'm salivating just writing this. Everything was divine. My made-to-order omelette was very satisfying, the afore-mentioned bacon was perfectly crispy without being burnt, the scrambled eggs were very tasty (I tried a small amount since usually scrambled eggs at a buffet are meh, but these were super fluffy and fresh)... but oh man, the fresh strawberries and homemade whipped cream were the stars of the show in my eyes. That whipped cream was SUPER thick and you could even see the vanilla beans in it. I want to go back just for that. Now, $40 per person is pricey, I know. This is not something I absolutely could do very often. But if you're going to spend it, at least here it's worthwhile. I am looking forward to our next free Hilton night mainly so we can relax by the Waldorf pool and eat here again! read more

Friendly service and the choices for food included everything imaginable. We loved the pastry bar with cinnamon rolls, apple tarts, blueberry muffins and so much more. The honey comb dripping a fresh swirl of liquid gold is eye-catching for sure. The made to order breakfast line is worth the wait. And the grits were fantastic. read more

Had my birthday breakfast here and for $40 per person expectations are were somewhat high. This is a restaurant located inside the Waldorf Astoria. They offer al a carte and buffet offerings. Buffet is again $40 per guest. So as you enter you will see the bread, dessert loaf, bagel station. Then as you walk around on the right side of the restaurant you will see the rest of the food stations. They offer an Oatmeal Bar. Then in the middle station is the fresh fruit bar with a plate of smoke salmon . Also smoothie shots and egg frittata in a souffle bowl.. The bar on the left is the eggs, bacon, pork links, roasted potatoes, and an omelet station where they make fresh to order omelets. They also offer pancakes, waffles and fresh whipped cream. The left side bar is the cereals etc. The staff here address the guests by the last name. So as far as options you get you can request smoothies like green smoothies from the server. They offer OJ, Apple Juice, Cranberry Juice as drink options. The highlight of the breakfast were the roasted potatoes, Pork links and the pancakes. Would I consider coming back here again for breakfast? Probably not. I can get a nicer brunch breakfast at Briarpatch. read more

Inside of the Waldorf Astoria. All of my photos are attached to that review. Came down for breakfast. I opt'd for the buffet breakfast. Joey was my hostess and he was very kind and patient. There is a ton of food to select from. Even a made to order omelet station. Fresh squeezed juices, meats, pastries, fruits, cereal, pancakes/waffles, etc. You name it, they have it Mimosas $14 There is also menu that you can just order from. Another breakfast day, I got an omellete, came with asparagus and tomatoes. Delicious!!! You can dine inside or outside, that is covered in a screened area Oscars was clean, all of the employees were nice read more

The food was ok but the service was painfully bad especially for a restaurant at the Waldorf. We had to flag our waiter down for everything (water, coffee, clean cups, the bill). I get that sometimes restaurants get overwhelmed but iHOP or Denny's handles the breakfast rush better than this place does. read more

Painfully below average food and even worse service. Avoid the outside patio at all costs unless you want to walk inside to repeatedly ask for any type of service (ie. water, coffee, getting the bill at the end of your meal). The buffet is remarkably overpriced at $38. Frittata was rubbery and cold. Peaches were rotten. Only reason I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 is that the blueberry muffins were excellent. Avoid at all costs for breakfast. Go to the Signia Bonnet Creek next door. You can still use your Diamond Status benefits there even if staying overnight at the Waldorf. They have 10x better buffet options (including a gluten free spread and dairy free milk options - both things I noticed were not present at Waldorf) and 100x better service. Absolutely absurd for a 5 star hotel to have such a terrible restaurant. read more

As a Diamond-status Hilton Honors member, breakfast at Oscar's was included each day of our stay. As such, my wife, our daughter and I dined there on Saturday and Sunday mornings, never having to wait for a table. Both days, we were served by Prince, who is very professional, very friendly and very, very helpful. He made sure we had hot chocolate, coffee; and, decaf coffee, as well as water to go with our breakfast. On the first day, we had only the Continental Breakfast, which includes fresh-made pastries, fresh fruit, assorted cereals, including hot oatmeal; and, charcuterie and cheeses, as well as assorted pieces of bread and bagels to toast to your liking. On the second day, we had vouchers for a free upgrade to the Full Breakfast, which included hot items, like scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, bread pudding, and made-to-order omelets, as well as a Smoked Salmon Bar, with all the accouterments. My wife and I both made bagels with lox, with cream cheese, egg, onion, capers; and, for my wife tomatoes! We were seated in a Private Dining area the second day, which was very secluded; and, enjoyed being away from the bustling crowd. I ordered a cafe latte, which Prince prepared; and, upon learning it was my wife's birthday, he presented her with a special treat. I had a chance to speak with the restaurant manager again. He explained that his French Pastry Chef made Mexican Conchas; and, I have to say they were excellent. My daughter and I loved them. He takes great pride in his restaurant; and, I know he looks over every aspect of service delivery, the environment; food quality and guest comfort personally. Both he and the dining room manager were bussing tables, as the crowd had cleared; but, a new crush was on! read more

Really poor service. Hostess never put our names in the system resulting in an extra 30 minute wait. Hostess also said Bloody Marys not available at resort? And that there was no other place to get them. Second hostess confirmed this. Finally got seated at a dirty table, had to get switched the another dirty table. Waitress said they DO serve bloody Mary's. Warning - it is literal tomato juice and instead of olives or celery they served it with cut up tomatoes. Waitress never took my food order. So an hour plus later - still haven't eaten. read more

This is a pretty solid breakfast buffet inside the Waldorf Astoria Hotel here in Orlando. I ordered the breakfast buffet which is best value on the menu. Includes coffee and juice and all the food in the buffet. The Made to Order omelets are Excellent as well as all the other items. They also have a lot of pastries including Donuts. Recommended if you are staying at this hotel. read more

The breakfast buffet is really impressive both in the taste of the items and the visible display of the spread. Mario, my server on day one of my stay, was a great server and very attentive. The staff at the omelet station were very friendly as well, even to children. Day two of my stay the server was the complete opposite of Mario. So service I guess can be hit and miss. Overall though I had positive experiences. The hosts were very friendly too. When the host who sat me saw me getting on the elevator later in my stay she smiled and waved. The buffet ($34) offers smoked salmon and other charcuterie meats and cheese. There is an entire table of bakery, bagels and breads with jams. There is fresh fruit, yogurt, a smoothie and a cold cereal station. There was a really good frittata and breakfast risotto that i had two servings of each. There was a juice bar and then your typical scrambled eggs, potatoes, bacon, sausage etc... I remember this being a highlight of the day last time I stayed at the Waldorf Orlando and it again was. read more

Overpriced, overpriced, overpriced! Not worth it breakfast buffet. I know this is a resort, but c'mon. The hot food is basic, nothing special. They have smoked salmon and charcuterie and nice bakery items for something that is "gourmet" but that's about it. Prolly could use a few more staff, seems understaffed for a resort. Overall, not worth it. read more

After reading some positive reviews about the breakfast at Oscar's in the Waldorf, we decided to give it a shot. Unfortunately for us, there were way too many negative points from start to finish. First we pulled up to the Waldorf and they only have the option of valeting your car. If you dine at resorts, most of them usually offer complimentary parking if you receive validation from the restaurant. Not here. They just offer a discounted rate of $5. When we arrived Oscar's, the place was pretty empty with plenty of window tables. Despite this, we were seated at the entrance literally at the table next to the seating host's podium. Feeling hungry, we opted for their $28 breakfast buffet. After grabbing a plate and stepping up to the food stations, we realized that they had run out of most of their food. Aside from the pancake and omelette stations, their lox station only had a few scraps left and their fruit section was left with nothing but a few odds and ends. The remainder of their offerings had been severely picked over as well. Seeing that our choices were extremely limited and there was no signs of refilling the empty food stations (despite having an hour left in their buffet), we ended up deciding to switch from the buffet to the a la carte menu. We decided to go with the pancakes, brioche French toast and some OJ. Despite the place being 80% vacant, it took a really long time for our meal to be served. The French toast was decent but the pancakes were nothing impressive (definitely on the dry side). For our very average breakfast, the original bill came to over $60 due to them mischarging us for the buffet. After I pointed this out, they corrected the bill to $50. As far as money I have spent on breakfasts while traveling around the world, this place easily ranks as the least amount of enjoyment per dollar paid. Considering how many places we have been, this is actually quite a feat. read more

Oscars! We had free breakfast at Oscars since we were living in the hotel. I loved their food especially their waffles, prosciutto and salami. I love that I can get whatever I wanted, they could make me a crepe with stuff inside, an omelet with what you want, with only egg whites or a small one. They have bagels and toast and many different desserts and fresh honey dripping down from a honey comb! One morning, we woke up late and they're opened from 7 to 1130 only, we got there at 1120 and put our name down, they don't kick you out or anything and let you sit until you're full! I went every morning except one morning I didn't wake up. But their waffles! !!!! read more

To start your day, stop by Oscar's. Whether you feel like ordering off the menu or choosing the buffet, you won't be disappointed. I splurged for the buffet as I couldn't pick just one thing to eat. The buffet had everything from pastries to cereal; omelets to waffles or crepes, which is made right in front of you and any way you want it. Not to mention the fresh squeezed juice bar, which I had to try every kind. read more

Oscar's - American Near Me - Orlando, Florida

What a pleasant surprise. This restaurant is part of the Waldorf and has one of the best breakfasts in Orlando. You really can't compare this place to any of the Disney hotels as it is so much more elegant and the food is far superior. Oscars is located pool side and is elegantly decorated. Perfect for a nice breakfast or brunch. Some of the standouts include: ... Greek yogurt parfait is the best I have ever had ... The bread and banana pudding are amazing and go fast ... The assortment of pastries is unique and coupled with the meats and cheeses it is even better ... Elaborate omelet station Finally, you can get a smooth cup of coffee. The waiters are very attentive and you constantly get your fresh squeezed orange juice refilled. read more

Oscars is always enjoyable for breakfast. The omelette bar is pretty good as well as the typical selections you would expect for breakfast including potatoes, eggs, ham, links, bacon, crepes, waffles, pancakes as well as Mickey Mouse pancakes, fresh fruit and an unbelievable pastry selection. The servers are good as well although our regular from the past 3 visits doesn't seem to be here anymore. We like to eat on the patio most of the time. Some say it's pricey but it's consistent with the property. read more

So disappointed with the service here. Avoid the outside... When I sat down outside, no one came to take our order for 10 minutes. So I gave up and went to the buffet line. Then sat back down so my husband could grab his food. When he returned, still no service... We finally had to flag down a bus boy to grab our coffee and oj. I was so disappointed. I've had breakfast before inside and never had this problem. I don't think they have designated tables for servers which is unacceptable for this high end hotel. Worst of all, we never had a server come to our table... We flagged another server when we wanted to leave. Minus the service, the food is better than most resort buffet's. read more

We ate the Christmas Day buffet. $80+tax so the quality expectations were pretty high. The good: desserts were beautiful but tasted just ok. Buffet had decent shrimp and crab claws. Prime rib was meh alongside turkey and ham. Side dishes were basics stuffing, potatoes and dressing. Basically golden coral at Waldorf prices. On the bright side, valet parking was comped. read more

Have been staying at the Waldorf Orlando regularly for 5 years and have frequented Oscar's during that time. For us the service has always been a standout at Oscar's! Yes, on weekends after 8am and weekdays after 9am it can be extremely busy (depending on time of year). If you're trying to rush to a theme park or a convention meeting, maybe consider room service or the grab and go at Peacock Alley, as I don't believe Oscar's is designed to get you in and out quickly. As a brunch after a long night at the theme parks, it's fantastic. Tons of options. The Waldorf cinnamon roll and the homemade pop tarts are always a treat! read more

Very underwhelming breakfast experience. Waited for someone to show up at hostess stand. Waited a long time at our table for server to appear. Had to request kids menu after seated and waited for that. Actually I went to retrieve one. Terrible rubbery Omlette ($24) Extremely limited buffet for $36. Oatmeal was good and server friendly which is why this review is not 1 star. Disappointing and not Waldorf standards at all. read more

I went here every morning while I was staying at the Waldorf. The omelets and the fresh fruit selection were the best part. However, the service here could be greatly improved. If you are going to eat here, I would go during the first hour. If you come here anytime after 8am, it gets super packed at Oscar's. Also, even if you are doing the buffet, you have to check in with the hostess, and the wait could be awhile. The wait could be awhile because they don't fill up all of the tables at the restaurant, and more importantly, they take reservations for this buffet breakfast. The clientele that makes reservations are quite snooty and so if you don't have a reservation, the estimated wait times are grossly miscalculated. The hostess seats those with a reservation first, even though you are there for the buffet. Ridiculous. I haven't heard of such a thing. Secondly, once you are seated, gratuity of 18% is already automatically added, so service is not so attentive. There is a juice station, but they only have some juices and not tropical juices. Also, the manager at Oscar's doesn't give everyone the same service. The one morning where we were waiting, he started giving out sparkling apple cider, but did not offer my sister and I a glass. The management at Waldorf should look into the management at Oscar's, as it seems that breakfast is popular. I understand reservations for SERVED FOOD but SELF SERVICE BUFFET? I've gone to so many other hotels with breakfast buffets and did not experience the chaos that exists at Oscar's. read more

Yes, the pricing here is crazy... but damn it's a good breakfast. Crepes prepared in front of you? Smoked salmon with capers? It's worth skipping lunch for. There's not much for me to say here except that you only live once, so every now and again, you need to treat yourself to a nice morning treat. If you're going to splurge on breakfast, do it here. read more

Was staying here for the weekend and got splurged for the Sunday breakfast buffet. Pretty pricey at $32 a person but was leaving later on the afternoon and didn't have a car. So made the most of it. The service was great. They check on you throughout your meal and make sure you have everything you need. The food was pretty standard for a breakfast buffet. They had various fruit, like berries and melons. There were scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage and potato fingers. They also had custom omelets and crepes which were pretty good. The best items for me were the lox and the cheese/meat spread. They had a lot of different meats like salami and prosciutto. They also have a variety of different juices. Try the watermelon juice of the honeydew melon juice. Pretty fresh and tasty. I'd give Oscars 3.5 stars. With a one star reduction for price and a half star reduction for the overall food quality. The food was good but not outstanding. read more

When we arrived around 1:30pm, there was only about 4 groups of people eating. There was no hostess to greet and the waiters didn't bother to look in our direction. We waited quite some time, when I finally made eye contact with one of the waiters, they just looked away without acknowledging me. About 5 minutes later, a hostess came out to seat us. After we ordered, it took a while for the house bread to arrive and the Vermont butter it came with was over-chilled and unspreadable even on our warm bread, so we ended up eating chunks of butter. Our food took what seemed like forever to arrive. We had the meatloaf and cornbread, both were really delicious. The cornbread was baked fresh to order in a large cast iron skillet and it was lightly drizzled with honey. The meatloaf was seasoned and cooked perfectly and came with delicious caramelized onions and a red wine gravy. The broccolini was cooked perfectly as well. I would come back here for lunch onlyespecially after reading the bad reviews about breakfast from the other yelpers, but my experience here overall was just OK. read more

Oscar's - Meatloaf was delicious! - American Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I have to disagree with some of the reviews regarding Oscar's @ the ORL Waldorf. Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion. Over many stays here, (back again starting 20.Dec.2016 for a few more days after being here just last weekend). I find we look forward very much to breakfast here. We return due to the consistancy and wonderful range and variety of offerings. The breakfast chef, meticulous, bright and cheery, as are all of wait staff. Everyone has always been most friendly, polite and accommodating. Pricing is commesurate with the accommodations here athlete Waldorf. I have no complaints regarding price point of such a sumptious breakfast buffet. The Bonnet Creek Hilton is a slightly removed property due to the ballrooms/convention space between the 2 facilities. Perhaps some staying there may find a disparity in perception regarding pricing due to the Hilton being a family and thusly more value oriented hotel while the Waldorf a true luxury hotel. I cannot fathom comments regarding service as I have absolutely nothing but respect, admiration and appreciation for the quality of food and dedication of the staff and management. I am no one special yet when one returns after an interval, be it weeks or many months and people remember you by name, I am impressed and always feel appreciated. Living in SW Florida we live in a resort community yet we have made the trip on several occasions staying in large part specifically desiring a GREAT brekkie and we are never disappointed. Just finished yet another lovely breakfast 30 minutes ago and it is comforting knowing that the next couple mornings will see me indulging in Oscar's offerings. A very satisfied customer wishing to all a very Happy and safe Holiday Season. Elena read more

We often stay on property at the Waldorf and the breakfast is incredible! The omelet station has more options than one can count including smoked salmon. The breakfast risotto is both creative and comforting. The service is nearly always spot on. There are a few servers we try to avoid. We have not been to lunch here but I do recommend the breakfast. Please bear in mind, you are at the Waldorf Astoria. Prices reflect that brand. In addition, when at a luxury property, you will most likely be taking advantage of the valet services. If you prefer to self park, use the garage after the Hilton but before the Waldorf... And if you can not afford the Waldorf, may I recommend the Waffle House, Enjoy! read more

Hmmmmm. What gives this place it's 1 star rating from me? 1) Hostess seating service slow and inconsiderate. 2) Buffet goes til 12pm, and upon arriving at 11am, all food was EXTREMELY picked over and wasn't being replenished, even after we waited. 3) Buffet selection SUCKS. I've never seen such a weak display of choices. Hampton Inn has a free buffet that's better than this place. 4) When we decided to not do the buffet and go for the a la carte menu, thinking we were saving ourselves $$, our bill was still staggeringly high. For bisquick-ish pancakes and 2 slices of french toast, our bill was $45. 5) We were brought a bill originally for $66, the buffet price for two people. Then it took 10 min to get the correct bill. 6) Valet parking AFTER VALIDATION is still $5. 7) So many extra staff just constantly milling about, staring, and BSing with each other with no real work to do. Highly inefficient. 8) Heard the staff talking to each other about a snake being on the loose near the pool area. I would never bring my family here. Really the ONLY redeeming factor here was that our waiter was actually nice and friendly. But it unfortunately wasn't enough to bring my temperature down from a raging boil. read more

The food was really good, but terrible service. Went for breakfast buffet while staying at Waldorf Astoria. We were seated, and waited for server so we could order drinks. After about 5 minutes a family was seated at the table next to us and a server immediately came up to them, introduced himself and started pouring drinks. A few minutes later the same server approached our table and offered juice and coffee. I asked for 2 of each as my wife had already headed to the buffet. He poured 2 juices, but only 1 coffee then left the pot for me to pour my wife's. He bussed the table pretty well, but never checked to see if we were ok or in need of refills or anything. I had to figure out where the servers kept Tabasco in a drawer at the server's station and get my own. I watched as he was attentive to the table next to us, but avoided us completely. He left the bill at the other table, and we waited about 15 minutes for our bill which never arrived. When I asked him for it he said we do not get a bill since we were part of a package. Then it dawned on me that his tip was already paid so he didn't feel the need to give service. Too many choices for my family to ever consider coming back here. read more

Incredibly overpriced, actually ridiculous. I took my daughter there for dinner (two of us), we had the buffet and I had one (1) glass of wine. $153, that included a 20% gratuity for s serve yourself environment, he'll then I had to ask three times for my check. Screw me once, but never twice. I wish I had read the Yelp reviews before going. Otherwise a great stay at the Waldorf, but Oscars sure leaves you with a poor memory. read more

Maybe the bad service reviews have been heard because the one thing that was acceptable here was my service- and the lattes. The food wasn't cooked properly & my replacement meal, after bringing it to the managers attention, was all wrong. All I wanted was a nice breakfast; eggs over medium & the thick cut bacon, how could we go wrong? Maybe I started it by sending back the overcooked eggs. But when I'm spending $24 for a plate, come on. I want them right. The experience quickly went down hill. Again, thank God for the amazing latte. White girl problems. read more
