We were really excited to try this place for Sunday brunch, but it turned out to be one of the most disappointing brunch experiences we’ve had. It’s buffet-style, but the selection is extremely limited and honestly feels more like a cheap hotel breakfast than an actual Sunday brunch.The food was cold and lacked flavor — I genuinely only forced myself to eat it for sustenance because nothing was enjoyable. To make things even stranger, toast isn’t included with the buffet and has to be specially ordered separately, which I’ve never seen at a brunch before. By the time the toast arrived, the food was even colder.I also asked for smoked salmon and was charged an extra $8 for a tiny little slice, which felt ridiculous for what was given.Overall, the quality, selection, and experience were all

If you want to make your holiday dinner truly awful, this is the place. This was, without exaggeration, the worst Christmas Day dining experience I’ve ever had.I made a reservation well in advance for two people and confirmed it by text at 4:52 PM on Christmas Day. Despite this, our reservation was canceled with no explanation, no call, and no message.When we arrived, no one was at the entrance. We went inside to ask for assistance and were told to wait outside because our reservation was for the restaurant, not the lounge. After waiting again, a staff member appeared — only to walk us into the lounge anyway, without explanation.

we went for the brunch buffet this morning and arrived around 1:10–1:15 PM.. despite it being close to the end of service, we were still welcomed and seated, and the server told us we could begin getting food after ordering drinks.We were dining with a 1-year-old, so I stayed behind to settle him while my parents and daughter went to the buffet first. They started at the end of the buffet (breads, charcuterie, fruit cups), which at the time looked full and well-presented.By the time it was my turn.. just a few minutes later, after getting my son into his high chair, the buffet was almost completely empty..From the start of the buffet:Coq au vin was emptyEggs Benedict had only two pieces left (one missing the egg entirely)Croque monsieur had two quarter-sized piecesOnly three pieces of Fren

Had the best birthday experience at the Yellow Door especially with our server Tas who manages to make us the best iced lattes and Americano for my whole family. Also she made sure I feel special during my birthday by going above and beyond in her service. Lastly, thank you to the kitchen team for making such a delicious Hash Bowl made by Chef Devon.Best start to celebrate my birthday 🎉

Hadn’t been here in years. Brought a client for lunch. It was dead which is a shame. We split the truffle fries. For $10 you get a decent amount (earls is $15 for less fries)! She had the French onion soup and I had the sourdough pizza with sausage and peppers. Great food. Pizza is a tad bit thicker and smaller in diameter but taste was great as was texture of crust.
