The first course was fine. We waited 39 minutes for the second course. They had forgotten about us. One dish was cold, another was served practically raw…. We complained and left

Extremely poor service and very unorganized. We never received the entree after waiting well over an hour and then we decided to leave. This Christmas Day brunch/lunch was a disaster and put a sour note to our delightful few days we spent in Philadelphia. They also forgot a main component of the appetizer selection which we had to remind them of before it was delivered.

Always a wonderful experience with our granddaughters at Christmas. We appreciated the new tea pot, a new China and a wonderful service with big Well this year, the girls actually love the tea. They’re 10 they always love the scones and sweets. It’s the highlight of our Christmas season.

Never Again!! Two years ago we found ourselves delighted on Thanksgiving day dining at Chez Colette. So this year when we discovered it would just be the three of us for dinner, CC seemed like the perfect choice. Not to mention, we frequently have cocktails & enjoy happy hour at the hotel bar. This year was a major major MISS! The food was barely a step above hospital cafeteria food with a selection of items 1/3 of what we had previously experienced. We actually had the same waiter from the last time however, this holiday his primary focus was on the guests seated at the large circular table in the center of the room. This table for some reason seemed to be held to a very different standard than the rest of us in the room. In fact in was like being seated at the kids table and watching the adults receive white glove service. Even the decor was different from the rest of the tables as they were the only ones that had a nice table cloth. Well… I’m not sure what they paid for their meal & service but we paid $300 for crappy food and something they felt warranted a 20% gratuity. NEVER NEVER again!!

Thanksgiving lunch at Chez Colette was exactly what I was hoping for. The food was delicious. There were traditional main dishes, with a few non-traditional ones, and a large selection of seafood and charcuterie. The desserts were very good, and the coffee was just right. The servers were very friendly and attentive. I'm so glad we chose to go here!

We enjoyed Chez Colette's Thanksgiving Buffet today. Included were sufficient choices to satisfy the glutton and the gourmet. Among the star dishes were a pheasant pâté, the pastrami salmon, and all the desserts (the bite-sized bûche de Noël, the pumpkin verrine, the chocolate and orange tartelette, and the pecan-bourbon pie were particular hits). Less impressive, in my opinion, though still good, were the "chicken pâté" (note omission of the word 'liver' though it was a chicken liver pâté) which needed something to kick it up (providing mustard would have helped) and the squash soup which needed a bit more cream; lacking cream, I added salt which helped a bit. The service was superbly attentive; the noise level very comfortable for quiet conversation. The bistro decor is in keeping with the brasserie theme. The price for the meal (we took advantage of an early bird special) was very reasonable. Even without that discount, I would say that this Thanksgiving buffet is worth the price.

Attended the Thanksgiving Buffet. They timed the reservations so there was no line to get any item. Selection was extraordinary and well presented. Given its French roots it was nice to see various pates. The breads were spot on and the deserts were very good. The staff worked as a team and true professionals. It was a nice experience.

I arrived for my reservation to find they were NOT in fact serving tea although I had made a reservation for tea well in advance. The lovely concierge had quite a time figuring out what was happening and couldn’t even find the food and beverage manager. When he finally DID find her she told us they were revamping the tea service, but she “didn’t notice my reservation” so I was not informed. A pretty tepid attempt at an apology followed including an invitation to have lunch in the bar- we saw NO ONE with any food, which made an unappealing option even more so. “We can comp a few things for you” Such an unprofessional handling of the whole situation.
