    We have always wanted to experience eating at Chateau Laurier. The food was not exceptional in any way. We expected it to be expensive, and it was. Can of coke was 6.00 dollars. The Mandarin buffet is very much better. We ordered 3 cocktails—-our bill was over 600 dollars—-for very run-of-the mill food. Definitely would never have any desire to go back.

    After a surprising phone call one hour before our confirmed reservation indicating that our reservation was incorrectly confirmed for a 14:00 sitting, which contradicted the Open Table reservation made one month in advance, we decided to proceed. Mike, the manager met us at the reception and assured us that the meal would be excellent and fresh. Indeed the holiday brunch was very good, the service provided by Jeremy was excellent and the overall experience was great. Thank you Chateau Laurier staff for making our Boxing Day brunch memorable.

    Food was amazing as always but service was below par. This is an annual celebration for us and our friends and we were a little disappointed.

    We went for the special Xmas dinner. The food was very good but the gravy was tempid as were the potatoes and meat. Service was good but our wine was slow in coming. We were half way through the main course before it came. For a $120 buffet, you would thing that it would include coffee, but they charged $6 for that pleasure. I expected to pay more for Xmas day buffet (this was more than double the Sunday costs) but I don't think it was worth it.

    Food was generally okay but pastries were day old. Chocolate croissants were hard as rock and cappuccino was served cold. Expected better for special Christmas brunch at that price. One party left leather gloves on chair and went back 15 minutes later but they mysteriously disappeared and manager insinuated we were mistaken about leaving them.

    Our first time enjoying the Dickens Lunch buffet. We were very pleased with the experience. The dining room was lovely, the seating comfortable, the service impeccable (thank you, David), and the food excellent. We will return next year if we're not travelling.
