After hearing and reading several positive comments about food allergies and brunch at the Grand Concourse we decided to give it a go with our family. I noted in our reservations via OpenTable we had several food allergies and would like to know what to avoid, other than obvious things like peanut butter. I also called the day before to confirm what their protocol was, as most reviews mentioned a chef will come out and walk the buffet line and point out items that are safe and not safe to eat for your specific allergies (we have peanut, tree nut, and sesame).
Chef Phil enthusiastically walked our family around and spoke directly and excitedly to our child. There were many safe options for our family, including the waffles and ice cream! (Which our child very much enjoyed!) The kids had no trouble finding foods each of them liked beyond what was offered in the kids section (chicken fingers, tater tots etc.)
Appreciated that our server waited to refill our coffee cups when we were at the table instead while we were away visiting the buffet. Thumbs up from the younger diners this round, as well as from Mom and Dad.
