Galvez Bar & Grill

The Sunday brunch buffet was foodie heaven! ???? There was nothing I didn’t love from start to finish! ???? The prime rib, potato soufflé and omelet deserved seconds! ???? The dessert bar was a dream, I enjoyed everything I chose from it! ???? The food, service, atmosphere were all fabulous! ???? I don’t even drink alcohol but I figured “why not” since this special occasion exceeded my expectations! ????

Came here today for Valentine's Day brunch. While I'm not excited about driving 1.5 hours to go have brunch, I am beyond elated that I made the decision to head there. Reservations are required, and as they get closer to the summer it will be busier and busier. Per Nicky, the waiter we had today who was a gem. I eat pretty clean and well during the month but not this day. Spending 80 bucks a person, I am eating my weight in carbs, and fat. And they have plenty of each. And lots of desserts to top it off. You walk into a beautiful old hotel right across from the beach. Great entrance, friendly people. Inside we were seated in a circle booth then the debauchery began. Crab legs, shrimp, and oysters are what greet you under a ice sculpture. A funny table with some green stuff on it that I paid zero attention to. A bread station. Then on the left you had eggs, bacon, sausage, and a eggs Benedict. Mashed potatoes, jerk chicken , biscuits and gravy I'm sure I missed something but it's all in the photos. On the right there is a omelet bar, a pasta bar, and a waffle bar. And I'm not exactly what crack they put in that batter but I had two waffles. Two. Melted butter on top and syrup was great. They have fried chicken there as well, tried it. Not my favorite. The pork tenderloin bar and the prime rib bars were awesome. But the dessert? The dessert hall was great. Stuffed cupcakes, cream puffs, whoopee pies. Just look at the photos. They will say more than I can. Wait staff. Now I have read some reviews that they were attentive or cleaned up plates very often but this wasn't my experience. Felt they did an exceptional job at making sure the table was cleared and cleaned. Will I come back? A question I always try to answer at the end of my reviews; and a resounding yes. Expensive. Sure. Good ROI for the food options there? Absolutely. It's a treat and you should treat yourself.

Food was very good. First time going, and we will definitely go back. There were 2 weddings at the same time so we did not get to experience the bar but we had a lot of fun anyway. Sitting sipping a digestive outside looking at the sunset was spectacular.

We arrived an hour early to have brunch and the manager there notified us we are early and directed us to go to the bar or the coffee shop while we wait. Once the brunch opened he proceeds to tell us we are not able to join as we are in shorts. He could’ve told us that an hour earlier instead of us waiting all that time to be told we can’t get in. I’m pretty disappointed as we always enjoy the brunch and have had shorts on. They have implemented this new dress code in January and there’s no sign stating so

The Galvez is a beautiful hotel. The Sunday brunch buffet was very disappointing, the dining area smelled like ammonia. The view outside was an overflowing extended dumpster. The dessert bar had very few choices and most tasted like bought desserts from a grocery store. The bread pudding was the only dessert that was delicious. The overall brunch buffet was not very good. I was very disappointed in this buffet after reading reviews and seeing pictures. Definitely a waste of money. Several other restaurants have better food, made in house and charge less. I went here for an amazing birthday meal experience and left wishing I'd spent $320 ($80/person) at a better establishment. I definitely do not recommend this brunch buffet.
