Food was not worth the price and the selection was way too small

This was our second visit for brunch. Unfortunately, the restaurant either underestimated the number of bookings for the Father's Day holiday or was short-staffed in the kitchen--or both. We waited an hour for our food. While the food was tasty once it finally arrived, several entrees were cold. Our server, Hannah, apologized several times for the wait, and the manager did try and rectify the situation by discounting our bill, which we appreciated. However, we have now had two experiences where the wait for food was longer than acceptable (our previous visit was also a wait, but not as long as this one). I'm not sure that I would try a third time, though the restaurant/hotel is beautiful, and my family and I enjoy the atmosphere.

My main dish for brunch was crab benedict. This may sound weird, but those were the best poached eggs I've ever eaten. They must've been prepared in a sous vide. The yolks had a jelly consistency that I was able to pickup with my fork without it running. The eggs were placed on an english muffin, sun dried tomatoes and crabmeat.The fingerling potatoes were nice and crispy.Excellent dish! The dish was reasonably priced, but our cocktails raised the per person cost.? The pomegranate mimosa was tasty. It's possible to order a flat of 4 different flavored 4 ounce mimosa samples

It felt so good to be out of the house and on our way to a beautiful Renée Fleming concert that had been canceled two years earlier. And there could be no better complement to our evening out with friends than dinner at Chez Ami. The fresh peas soup with edible flowers was beautiful and delicious. The duck breast was done to perfection and the brussels sprouts were off the charts. David was kind and helpful at every turn. We will be back.

Exceptional meal. Went here on a whim when another restaurant was closed, and was not disappointed. Absolutely will be returning.

The food was excellent, it's too bad the service was only fair at best. It took 20 minutes for anyone to come to the table, and it was not terribly busy. Drinks came late after the waiter was prompted to retrieve them prior to taking our order. It was as if they couldn't figure out their flow/stride in serving (people all awkwardly moving back and forth, forgotten silverware when the entrees came). The food is really good, would maybe just go back to dine at the bar?

The perfect place to cap off a 25th anniversary "week"

Just go! And it is a beautiful restaurant and a fine dining experience

Absolutely delicious would definitely go again my waitress was so respectful and kind, bent backwards for me.

Food was ~good but a rather limited selection. They did not have our preferred drinks: Absolut Vodka or Myers Rum Server seemed "very new"
