Our family has been to the Essence of Unionville on a few occasions - for a birthday, Sunday brunch, New Years Dinner in the past. The food quality and servings have been very good. Deserts are excellent - at that point you are too full to try the full range especially at the buffet or brunch.
Brunch quality is generally okay although on occasion the beef is a bit tough or dry. Seafood dishes on one occasion was fishy but for the most part good. There is pasta, mashed potatoes and sauteed root vegetables. Raw salad bar and a small desert selection as well. Pricing is fair given the quality of food.
Generally, this is a go to place now family lives in the area.
