   Great potential but fell short of expectations. Food quality and service didn’t match the price.

   Very rough start. We waited 40 minutes for anyone to acknowledge our presence. No water. Nothing. Eventually DAWA did fabulous job making up for the problem., and covered our drinks and cut the bill in half. Food was good. Loved Gabriel Mervine Trio.

   In a word, Disappointing! We have been to Ellyngton's for brunch many times over the years. If this is the new level of service to be expected, we will never return. Upon arrival, we waited over 15 minutes to be asked if we wanted anything to drink. When our meal was served, we had not received the appetized we had ordered. The eggs benedict I was served was overcooked. The yolk was almost completely hard. We had planned on having a nice, pre-Christmas, Sunday brunch and were totally disappointed! So sad!

   It’s not worth the value. It’s a lot for a very basic brunch. We’ve been doing breakfast with Santa for 15 years and it’s not worth the cost any longer. Bring back the option to order eggs Benedict, or the omelette station.

   We came for the Breakfast for Santa but apparently that's only on Saturdays ( it was a Sunday). Then we sat at our table for 40 minutes before our order was taken. During the time we waited to put our order in, a waitress came by and asked if we ordered yet, when we said no she asked if she could borrow our menu for another table and would bring it back - she never came back. When we finally did order they were all out of avocado which was a bummer. People that were sitting close to us and showed up after us were getting their food before us. The atmosphere was odd. Felt like we were in a conference room that was decorated for Christmas's service was bad and then food was boring.

   Our server was great, but the restaurant was as woefully understaffed, and no one had empowered the bussing staff to help guests. We watched customers berate the manager, then watched the manager berate servers in front of guests. The hostess had no idea what she was doing and called and texted to tell me that our table was ready, despite the fact that we’d been seated for 40 minutes. It took 90 minutes to get food from the time we were seated, 20 minutes to get water from when we were seated, 25 minutes to get menus (they didn’t have enough menus for all their guests), 40 minutes to get drinks - you get the point. This was not a failure of the staff. They were trying. There was no meaningful management, and it was uncomfortable and stressful to watch. Everyone is short staffed. It’s up to those in charge to step up and address the issue. No one here tried unless you begged to speak to a manager.

    Wow, what a difference from what it used to be when it was a buffet. We drove all the way from Fort Collins with the old beautiful buffet at Brown Palace in mind. Order from the menu and not even have table cloths?😥😥. Very disappointing. Next special event is either Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, or find another restaurant in Denver.
