                                                  Very good, the fresh orange juice was bitter and didn’t realize it wasn’t included in the buffet.

                                                  We had the buffet brunch this morning. It was the perfect setting in the atrium with the Fall colors on the trees, the food was perfectly cooked and delicious and we loved talking with our server (Rosa) from Peru. It was a delightful morning spent eating, relaxing, sipping Cappuccinos and enjoying the outdoors while sitting indoors.

                                                  We had such a great experience- beautiful skylit dining room with doors that opened along the creek; food was amazing and continually refilled and hot on the buffet - the servers were very friendly and accommodating. Definitely recommend - make a reservation for ease

                                                  Ludwig’s did not disappoint. The variety and selection of the breakfast buffet was vast and there is something for everyone. The food is absolutely delicious and the dessert selection amazing and tasty. The staff are courteous and friendly and are always at hand should you have a question or need something!

                                                  Food was just ok, and should have been much better at that venue and price point. Gnocchi was more like mash potato dumplings than firm pasta. Buffalo was overly salty and excessively rich in the sauce. Striped bass was a small fillet with too many added ingredients. Flavor was ok, but not up to par with 5 star rating. Scallops were more like a single scallop cut into 4 pieces, again with nothing special out of the combination of ingredients paired with it. One adult and two kids $360. Single glass of Cab and the Pellegrino was the best part of the dining experience.
