Samuel's

Food was good, service was good

I enjoy the way they do brunch here. We have been in two occasions. You start off brunch with a buffet style first course and then order a second course off the menu. Available at the buffet; scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes, muffins, bagels, lox, cream cheese, fruit platters etc. The second course menu has about nine items, some more breakfast oriented and some more lunch oriented. These include bananas foster french toast (excellent), lobster eggs benedict (solid traditional benedict with Canadian bacon and lobster, but not a lot of lobster), catch of the day (today was salmon with lemon beurre blanc and mushroom risotto), braised short ribs, cobb salad, hamburger, and others. They also offer dessert and today they had creme brulee with a chocolate bottom, chocolate cake, or cheese cake with berries.

Samuel's offers mimosas and bloody Mary's during brunch and they have a full bar if something else strikes your fancy.

The server's attitude was pleasant and they were professional enough, but service is on the slow side and unfortunately the meals did not all come out at the same time which of course would be an issue for most people. We joked that they braised the short ribs to order, considering they came out quite a while after the rest of the food (which also came in waves) but you'd expect short ribs which are cooked in advance to be the easiest thing to get out quickly.
