| - Windows on the River is a lovely banquet hall located in the Powerhouse on the West bank of the Flats. I went there for their annual Mother's Day Brunch this past weekend with my girlfriend and her two kids and we all had a really nice time.
The setting is beautiful; perfect for a wedding or other banquet-type function. The service was attentive, but perhaps not the most well trained in wait staff etiquette, but I'm really reaching at straws here to find a problem. The staff were all very pleasant and aimed to please, which in the end is all one can really ask for.
The food was buffet style as expected, with a "Brunch Station" where you find your standard eggs, breakfast meats, potatoes, etc. There was also an omelet station, a pasta station, and a Bloody Mary bar. The Pinnacle of course was the dessert station, which includes a chocolate fountain with various goodies for dipping. No complaints with the quality of the food.
The cost was $150 total, which includes the tip, so $37.50 per plate out the door. Did I, or anyone in my party eat $37.50 worth of food? Probably not. Was the experience worth $37.50 per person? Let me put it this way, seeing the smile on my girlfriend's face, and having the honor to get to spend the afternoon with her kids, I would say it was worth every penny and more.
