Our brunch buffet was out of this world scrumptious! The food was replenished as needed, displays were lovely and most of all kept immaculate! The whole staff: hostess, buffet servers, waiters, waitresses, etc. were extremely pleasant, happy to be of service, attentive to our requests and made our dining experience a memorable one! Special thanks to Brit and Cristen for their kind hospitality and expertise (sorry if i forgot a few names, everyone was outstanding)! Team work makes the dream work! We highly recommend Henrietta’s Table! Thank you! The Kligermans
