| - We tried the Sunday brunch for Mother's Day. The menu included made to order omelettes, eggs Benedict, and any other style of eggs, waffles, French toast, selection of cheeses, breads, smoked salmon, charcuterie, cold seafood oysters on the shell, crab claws, poached shrimp cocktail, sirloin roast, grilled salmon, whitefish and mussels, selection of salads and hot items. Dessert table included chocolate fountain, macaroons, cakes, tarts, best was the coconut macaroons. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. I would say Seafood selection not great crab claws too salty and meat was tough, minimal selection of nigiri sushi, best items in the seafood display was the shrimp cocktail and oysters. Dessert table was disappointing, I expected more selection and quality. Other things were amiss the little jams jars on the table and honey was all sticky obviously opened previously and the table staff did not notice or check. One server holding a stack of plates and cups dropped the whole platter and shreds of China went all over our table floor area and cleanup for that issue took too long. There is a washroom inside the restaurant which is nice but after awhile waste bins were overflowing and needed attention that was lacking. Table staff otherwise great with replenishing cutlery and coffee and tea. Overall food was as expected for Fairmont hotel but restaurant staff needs a review of their practices to remain competitive. Not sure if I would return again for Sunday Brunch given other hotel options, Ritz Carlton does brunch buffet best.
