    A lovely brunch opportunity! I stayed mostly in the seafood section and had a ton of caviar - YUM! Everything was fantastic though! They have a lovely raw bar, an omlette station, dessert station, meat carving...and on and on...

    Amazing service, Alysha was incredible. The food was fantastic. From the seafood station, to the carving station, and not to mention the unlimited caviar. It may have been a little pricey but was so worth, we enjoyed every moment. The decor is top notch. It is incredibly gorgeous, very old money feel, good thing we fit right in.

    The "historic" Breakers. This is a luxury hotel in Palm Beach, Florida, was originally opened by Henry Flagler in 1896 as the Palm Beach Inn and later renamed in 1901. After two fires, it was rebuilt in 1926 by Schultze & Weaver, inspired by Rome's Villa Medici, and remains a renowned resort under the same family's ownership, hosting numerous famous people over the years. I came here on two different occasions for brunch at the Circle. They have the famous Sunday brunch and a more low key brunch on Saturday. I will mostly highlight their Sunday brunch. I have prepared myself for all the delicious foods at the brunch by watching some YouTube videos ahead of time. I usually do not include pricing in my reviews, because this is something that could change by the time a reader finds this review later on. When we went recently, it was $195 per person. This is a pretty steep price to pay for your average Sunday brunch. But this place is nowhere from average. First and foremost, the food was exquisite, with a vast array of options including succulent king crab, lobster tails, oysters, caviar, meats and a decadent dessert selection. The raw seafood bar was particularly impressive, offering fresh oyster, Maine lobster, crab meat that are prepped and ready for you to eat with a fork without doing much work to de-shell. The seafood they serve at brunch was so delicious and I definitely went back for seconds! The service was attentive and professional, though occasionally it was a bit slow due to the bustling atmosphere. However, the staff's warmth and efficiency made up for any delays. They were definitely not slow with pouring the champagne though, that's for sure! The ambiance was breathtaking, with the restaurant's stunning frescoed ceilings and Renaissance-inspired murals creating an elegant backdrop for the meal. Everyone respected the dress code of resort wear. Overall, it had a sophisticated vibe, making it a perfect spot for special occasions and celebrations. Overall, while pricey for brunch, the experience was well worth it for the quality and atmosphere.

    this place is celebrated by Insta. breakers lost $$ on me because i absolutely destroyed caviar by the (name your industrial unit of measurement)...and alaskan king crab legs. avoided all their carb tricks, except for dessert. rgarding ambiance, tourists steeped in pastels-stefan would never let these people into nyc's hottest clubs, women stuffed into dresses like sausages, and well meaning, hard working waiters circulating the floor not knowing they were leaving literal plumes of BO in their wake. then there was this poor young woman with Downs, about to put her order in with the made-to-order crepe station, when some plastic-surgery dodo bird interrupts with "i was here first!". needless to say i lost my appetite for crepes.

    Beautiful space, with a view of the ocean outside, harpists plays music, including birthday music for those celebrating. Buffet style self-serve with plenty of options ranging from meats, seafood, desserts. Breakfast offering was small and not as varied but they were the best chocolate chip pancakes I've ever had. Food was all delicious, especially the lamb chops Varied options for desserts in small portions that let's sample the many offerings. Good service- they bring you beverages such as coffee, sodas, juices or mimosas. Recommended - definitely a beautiful experience.

    Hands down the best brunch I have been to in south Florida. The service was impeccable. It's quite pricey at $200 but includes an unlimited buffet and unlimited mimosas. The buffet has every thing imaginable including stone crab (when in season). Lastly, the dining room is absolutely stunning. It transports you to Europe and you have the Atlantic Ocean glistening in the background. I'm ready to go back.

    Elegant ambiance with amazing food. Had a great brunch. Made wonderful friends. The service was excellent!

    The hotel itself really makes the restaurant. Gorgeous grand European style with elaborate details throughout, near the ocean. Harpist playing and offering private performances to tables. Nice selection of items, but a buffet will never be quite like plated meals. Items included: Lobster tails, crab legs, cocktail shrimp, prime roast, ham, sushi, caviar, chicken, Mahi Mahi, crudites, gnocci, rolls, desserts galore. Stations included omelets, waffles and crepes, but the crepes were unimpressive as the crepe itself (not the stuffing or.topping) was premade. Free-flowing champagne or mimosas. Service was attentive, albeit a bit slow sometimes, to pick up plates. Tip automatically added, but in addition to the servers, there are so many buffet attendants, so I can see why.

    Delicious Sunday Brunch. The place is absolutely breathtaking. You will get some amazing photos inside. The biggest wow factor is from the beautiful building and ceilings. Since the pandemic they have lots of staff serving everything to help prevent the spread of disease. Food presentation is beautiful. I was hoping to find snow crabs but I guess the season must be starting later this year. Lobster and crab was delicious. Lamb chops looked delicious. I got one overcooked so I tried a second time and waited for some less cooked ones. I ended up with a red one. The sautéed mushrooms were excellent. They have an egg station, sushi, crepe station and waffles. I didn't try any of those. Desserts presentation was incredibly beautiful with gold leaf decorations but I don't have a favorite one. We got the late seating 2 pm. Staff appeared tired and service was a bit on the slow side and not exceptional. There is a lot of staff working the food areas which somehow slows things down. If you have been here before please note the new buffet prices before securing a reservation.

    Went here for Sunday brunch and it was AMAZING. Literally 5/5 no complaints here. There is only a valet option which is complimentary with validated receipt from brunch. It's about $195/pp for brunch which is buffet style. Mimosas are unlimited and you can choose with juice you'd like to compliment your champagne. There is something for everyone here. The ambience is so elegant and great for pictures. This was by far the freshest seafood I've had, like ever. Customer service was top tier, as expected. FYI, 20% gratuity is included on every bill. If you're lucky you may run into some celebrities visiting Palm Beach or big time professionals from the area. My tip, go with friends or family and have conversations as your food settles. You wouldn't want to go to a spot like this and only have 1 or 2 plates... go in! After we ate we walked around and sat by the water for a little and also enjoyed some fresh air in the courtyard.

    Enjoyed a very lovely brunch this past weekend at the Breakers with my husband and daughter. The hotel is very chic but very traditional in style. The service was good but not great as my dirty dishes sat on my table for an extended period. The mimosa was very flat and barely had champagne, which is included in the $250 per person. My mimosa remained untouched for 30 mins. I had a proper glass of champagne towards the end of my meal after asking twice. The most impressive part of the buffet is the raw seafood bar. Stone crabs get 5 stars which was the star pf the buffet, crab legs were also delicious. The oyster bar was delicious. The butter did not have a salad bar. The gentleman behind the station were very nice. The sushi options were limited, the hot food was not impressive. The dessert bar was lovely with limited options as there were no vegan options sadly. I recommend to experience it at least once especially if you love shellfish, but I would not return to try it again.

    9-17-23 11AM Reservation Hubby wanted to know what his Foodie wife wanted for her birthday. I don't need things anymore but rather more time together. So I thought how about Brunch at the Breakers in Palm Beach. If you read up on the best Brunches in the USA this place will be listed. 37 years in South Florida and I have never been. So I do my research and price wise they push the envelope past everyone else to $199. per person with gratuity that they include $500. per couple. OMG I make our reservations for four persons in fact they call me personally on Thursday to confirm. So of course I talk to my family and friends they think I am crazy. Hey it's my birthday. So today while driving up I ooh and aah. Even waiting to get to the hostess stand I am still in awe. We get seated and I can see the Atlantic Ocean and the waves crashing. The ceiling in the room is majestic. After I get my mimosa and make my way to the food I start going into reality. When I go up again ok where is the rest of it? Yeah sucks to be me but I know too much. Don't get me wrong I ate lobster from Maine, crab legs, lamb chops, sushi and had the fresh crepes with fruit but from a food, beverage and presentation stand point Kuro at the Hard Rock hands down has it beat. Also had Easter Brunch there I had Vieve Cliquot unlimited for less and closer to home. Don't get me wrong loved the harp and birthday treats but this was a one and done for me.

    Beautiful setting

    We had a lovely, memorable brunch here last weekend to celebrate an anniversary. The service was excellent, as was the atmosphere. The food, served buffet style, was very good, but I've had better. My dining companions raved about some of the shellfish and beef, which I didn't have. This is outrageously expensive, but it is one of a kind. We also enjoyed walking around the ground floor of the hotel, which is beautiful.

I picked Batch while walking by because it had the cutest vibe but we weren't expecting much. We were greeted by Rachel, the manager, at the host stand. She didn't just lead us to our table, she walked with us. She asked us if we were from the area and what brought us in. It was all small talk but felt genuine. She waited until we were seated to hand us or menus and it didn't feel rushed. Gabby, our server, showed confidence and love for the place when she introduced herself. They make everything from scratch here and Gabby sold us on the eggrolls and mac and cheese to start. However, before those could arrive, Rachel came by with an order of biscuits for us. These were absolutely to die for and the gesture was very kind. The eggrolls, bbq sauce, and ranch were the highlight of our food adventure here. You could tell this was all freshly made. We both ordered burgers and those were very good, hearty, and not greasy. Their house sauce B1 added a perfect element of smokiness to the burger. Gabby's service ensured we always had refills, never had to ask for anything, and the table was always clean. Rachel stopped by and checked on us and also gave us cute glasses to take home with us and coupons to come back for happy hour for some "off menu snacking". So if you're asking if Batch does things differently, they absolutely do. We can't wait to bring our friends next time. Ask for Rachel and Gabby and don't sleep on the eggrolls!

Upon arrival, valet service was disappointing. Several employees were standing around talking while only one person was actively working, which caused unnecessary delays. Both the car in front of us and our own were left waiting longer than expected. Food-wise, while everything was good, my meal arrived warm rather than hot, which took away from the experience a bit. Also, our food did not arrive at the same time. For a restaurant at this level, I expected better attention to that detail. Dessert was also a bit underwhelming visually as I was expecting something more polished and presentable to match the overall aesthetic of the restaurant. Overall, RH delivers on atmosphere and service at the table, but tightening up the valet experience and food presentation/temperature would really elevate it to the next level.
