   We've attended and enjoyed the Brunch Buffet at Eleven several times in different seasons and brought out of town guests for the Christmas Eve brunch, but we were disappointed with this visit today and will not be returning. Everything was very underwhelming and I felt bad that we brought our guests here. The menu listed Fuyu Persimmon & Dried Dates and that was not at the buffet. The Fresh Fruit Medley (assorted tropical fruit, melons, berries, mint syrup) has been one of my favorite parts of the buffet when we've attended before, but it did not consist of any tropical fruit today; it was simply cantaloupe and melons with a few berries on top (but only if you were one of the first people after they brought out a new batch). The Dry-Fried Green Beans were very dry and overcooked; the Orange Glazed Roasted Chicken and Rosemary & Garlic Crusted Striploin Roast did not taste good and both were also dry. The Seafood Bisque was runny and very liquidy - not thick like what a bisque should be. One of our guests has a big sweet tooth and loves desserts and sweet pastries; she did not like the french toast and thought all the pastries and desserts were just OK. I thought they could have been better quality and not just something you'd find at a free continental breakfast at a hotel chain. They sounded great in their descriptions and presentation, but lacked in taste and texture. The best thing I had was the chicken apple sausage and I could've just heated that up on my own with store bought ones. Service was great and attentive, but the food was not there today. Perhaps we got the leftover bits and pieces of things since they will be closed tomorrow for Christmas? Not sure, but it's been way better in the past.

   We really enjoyed our visit. Bacon candy was amazing Hamachi was also The beef brioche seemed a miss. It was 98% brioche and 2%beef. Could barely tell there was any beef at all. The only other thing is the empty plates cluttered our space ( at the bar) and we're not removed until we paying the bill. Towards the end of the visit we felt like we were left hanging. The waitress finally came over and gave us a water refill and took care of the bill for us. Again over all we had a great time. Everyone was friendly. Just a couple small things that could be easily managed.

   Actually, 4.6 if there were 1/2 point; food was really good, service excellent; our seating was okay but not real comfortable for eating (booths vs tables); excellent coffee and drinks; staff were friendly and efficient; we will return on our next visit to Oahu (from Hilo). Good price for brunch.

   Food was excellent!…wonderful selection and everything was delicious!! We had the lunch buffet and everything was so tasty! Staff were personable and quick to remove plates and refill our tea/coffee plus quick to offer you everything you need but allowed you to enjoy the experience. Everything was a positive…we will be back!

   The hostess was missing and the bar tenders/servers just ignored us at the door for 15 minutes before we finally got seated. They definitely prioritize the “aesthetic” of the drink over the actual taste and quality of ingredients. Food was just small bites and overpriced. Would not recommend for cocktail lovers.

   I had never been to Eleven but I am a cocktail fan. The cocktail menu was innovative and delicious; both my friend and I had two each, with each one being its own taste profile. The ambiance is spacious and quiet, so it was perfect for us to catch up and reconnect. We only had snacks for food, but the two choices we had were tasty. I will be returning. It is the perfect place to chill with friends.

   Food was wonderful but the venue was hot. Air conditioning needs to be increased for comfort.

    Food was very good. Nice variety. A bit more lively and louder than preferred with bridal shower on adjacent table and music overhead. Excellent service.
