I personally feel that brunch is more hyped then anything. Granted the Grand Concourse is my favorite restaurant. Still the bunch is very good (not great to me).
My five stars go to the banana foster. Thanks to the awesome person serving it honoring my request and taking out the calories for me ; - ) That would have been great it he could have really done that. I loved the banana foster. Thank goodness to the very long lines to this that I only went up once to that.
The one star goes to the prime rib. I love prime rib. For me to eat this it has to be well gone or medium. This is what I guess people call Pittsburgh rare. Friends made a joke and asked if I just got that from the field. However they do cut it very thin, the way I liked it. A friend and I asked the carver if he had any well done prime rib and it was all very rare.
As the other food (way to many to mentioned) pretty good. I eat chicken almost every day and did enjoy what they have that day. Also there are some foods that are way too spicy for me. Also there are a lot which are just right.
When the site mentions you get fresh donuts, they don't get much fresher than what they do. You get them immediately once they are done and dropped on the paper.
Suggestion: Have some of the prime rib that is medium rare to well done.
The décor is breathtaking. The architecture of this landmark is an added plus.
