| - Our bachlorette party was so excited to try to "all you can eat and drink" brunch at SumoMaya. It came highly recommended by other Torontonians who had vacationed in AZ. The entire experience was a let down but the restaurant did try to mitigate the situation and concept is "fun" so some stars for that.
The "all you can eat" option is $29pp and includes unlimited sides and appetizers for the table served family style. For an additional $10pp you can add unlimited drinks, the caveat being you need to choose between mimosa, Bloody Mary and margs but of course if you are a bigger group you can trade drinks during refills. The concept is "fun" especially for a bachlorette when the focus resolves around eating and drinking and getting your money's worth!
Our group was seated in the back part of the restaurant by panels of windows with extremely poor air circulation and no evidence of A/C. The entire restaurant was not cool by any means but walking from our table area to the washroom, we could feel a difference. Especially coming to AZ from Toronto, our group was not accustomed to 100 F temperatures. We asked politely if there was another table on several occasions and was told this was the only long table available. I appreciate we were a big group and the restaurant was packed but the waitress was not prompt with refilling water glasses which is a recipe for dehydration and illness when the group was drinking and extremely overheated due to restaurant's poor A/C and air circulation.
On to the food ... nothing was bad nothing was spectacular other than the appetizer guac. I think the food quality is somewhat compromised in the "all you can eat" style. Everyone devoured the appetizers. A lot of the entrees were packed up or wasted as we had already eaten so many apps. The general feeling from the group was that the apps were much better than the entrees. I appreciate this could also be due to the fact that most of us were so full by the time the entrees came. They had a round of bachlorette desserts, most of which were brought home.
At the end of the meal, about half the table was extremely dehydrated and we voiced our concern to the manager about the fact that water glasses were left empty for much of the meal and that the table was in such a hot area of the restaurant. They agreed to comp the $10 drinking fee on each bill, which was greatly appreciated. While our waitress was pretty good at handling a large group (other than failing to fill up waters fast), the front door staff were rude. When we asked to speak to a manager, they were giggling, which was unprofessional and disrespectful. If groups are going to be seated in such a hot area, they should at least leave water pitchers on the table.
