It’s too bad with just a little effort this place could be a great little french cafe bistro, but it’s not. food is mediocre, service is slow and inattentive, ambiance is garish and bright and it’s over priced. what a shame.

Our previous experiences here were always good but this time we were seated in the lounge which is under renovation and were told that they had forgotten to shut down open table for that evening as the dining room was closed. They did serve us food but we were the only ones. Meal should have been on the house.

The menu looks French and they say Bonjour when you enter but it really is just a hotel coffee shop. I love a classic French Omelette and seeing one on the menu along with a Croque Madam, we decided to give it a try on a Sunday morning. Neither was any good, unfortunately. The French omelette was a hard cooked (and browned) diner omelette with ham and (Gruyère) cheese with some chives sprinkled on top. The croque madam was two thick pieces of brioche with ham in the middle, gloppy béchamel ladled on top with an (undercooked) fried egg on top. So, a disappointment. On the plus side the service and atmosphere were nice.

I booked breakfast here knowing that it was attached to the hotel, but not knowing that it was a hotel buffet instead of a regular restaurant. I felt this should have been more clear on OpenTable reservations as it wasn't the ambiance I was looking for. I asked if we had to do the buffet and was told it was all that was available. Food was decent, although the eggs were disappointing for a $22 fee. Service was very friendly but seemed rushed and disorganized. Ambiance was loud and not relaxing. A lot of people shuffling around due to the buffet. For a hotel buffet, it was fine, but it shouldn't be advertised as a restaurant that requires reservations.

This is my go-to for business breakfasts in Center City. Good food, quiet enough for a conversation. Service is professional but slow.

I read the reviews prior to going and noticed many were unhappy. We were very pleased with our experience. Everyone was welcoming and helpful. We thought the food was very good as was the champagne. We had fun picking out our tea and the only concern I had was that the water was not hot enough nor was there enough for all of us to eke out a second cup from our tea leaves. I felt the Travelzoo deal was worth it for four of us and we enjoyed the experience!

$75/person for Easter Brunch - you would think the menu would’ve been much better & the mimosas to at least be bottomless, ESPECIALLY at a place like the Sofitel. One glass of champagne or mimosa was included, and the menu for Easter Brunch wasn’t good at all. It was a brunch with No omelette station, no waffles or pancakes, no rice or pasta, no bread station, no breakfast foods of any kind. The rolls they had out were not warm at all. The potatoes had zero flavoring and were somewhat hard. Honestly, the only decent thing were some of the desserts. However, some of the creme brûlées weren’t even cooked all the way through. I had one where it was pure liquid and not the custard texture of a creme brûlée. The staff were all nice though.

We have never been here before but we reserved a spot for Easter brunch. It was a bit pricey but thought it was fine for a holiday buffet. we ended up not eating here though. You can sense some tension with staff, our waitress was SUPER sweet though. We checked out the buffet and there was no breakfast of any kind. It was a unique combination of food, meats, seafood and charcuterie and just not what we personally were looking for. I’m sure this is a great place for some, it just wasn’t for us. When you think brunch, you do expect some breakfast options or more variety for the price. There wasn’t a lot of people which is fine, just noting. Also the chairs were a bit torn up. These are all fixable and I don’t want to deter anyone from going. Our first impression just wasn’t the best. We expected a bit more for a hotel restaurant.
