Its a quick walk to the Disney Hall, Music Center Theaters, and the MOMA and Broad. There is live jazz on Sundays, a huge buffet brunch or a menu option. We opted for the menu, having avocado toast and an impossible burger. The service has ALWAYS been stellar. The back area dining room is bright and has the BEST waitstaff. The avocado toast comes with fresh watermelon radish, cherry tomatoes, lots of avocado, and poached eggs (if you like). There is also a splash of lemon oil, which makes this dish so tasty. The impossible burger is cooked perfectly and is served with delicious fries. As I mentioned, this is our go to place prior to theater or a museum visit.

I've celebrated many birthdays and special events there, and I was thrilled when Sunday brunch returned after COVID. But after this past Sunday’s experience, I won’t be returning. The selection is just okay, but there’s no waffle station, which in my opinion, is a brunch staple. There wasn’t an omelette station either. For the price of $75, it’s totally not worth it. The brunch is advertised as $68, but they charge you more when you get there. For that price, I can go to other places in the city with a better selection and unlimited mimosas. The waiters were amazing, and the jazz band was a nice addition, but even that isn't worth $75 – especially when the place was empty. This place is not what it used to be. Sorry, Grand Café, I won’t be returning.

We absolutely love it. Although the selection isn’t as big as other buffets, the quality is there and mostly importantly, the service is amazing. I always ask for Jose or Amytes and as usual, they are AMAZING. They made my boyfriend’s birthday special and we are glad we got to spend it at the Grand Cafe!

Alas! My lunch was quite ordinary, and the flashes of creativity (such as crispy seasoned eggplant subbing for bacon in a vegan "ELT") were offset by what seemed like grocery store bread. And the room was a little dark and quite empty; the hotel guests clearly find more exciting places to lunch. Fortunately, my lunch companion was delightful, and the service was cheerful. I am not, however, inspired to return soon.
