We were charged $1,000 (4 people) for a buffet meal that was subpar. Taking everything into account, I probably would have reasonably paid in total $250 for the entire meal. What was advertised on their website, which was dated for today’s date and time was not what was served. The ambiance was similar to a Disneyland buffet, as in extremely crowded, overpriced, and chaotic. I’m not even sure why there was a tip considering it was a buffet and our waitress came by twice. She brought 2 cocktails, bottle of pelligrino, a coffee and 2 orange juices. Hardly deserving of a mandatory processing fee of $200+

Overall, it was a very disappointing experience and certainly not up to your normal standards. While we were graciously greeted by name due to being repeat customers, and taken to a lovely table with a view, the service we received was extremely poor The waiter was simply overwhelmed with too many tables to handle, or he chose to pay more attention to others than to us such that we often had to ask for things from either the bus people or other waiters and dishes were just building up on our table as we had to ask someone to move them away. We could not express our disappointment with him enough and with his minimal contact with us, he found it necessary to make an appearance by making a rude remark that was really offensive. Also the Easter Brunch was so exceptional, the quality and diverse amount of dishes, the booth, the quality food and the waiter who was attentive and friendly. To top it off, apparently our displeasure with him was him gifting himself a 20% gratuity which was totally undeserved. All and all we have been here numerous times and felt underwhelmed and unnoticed and for the amount of money paid, it was totally a waste.

Great food and warm service. The special occasion buffet meal service in Andrea is a great high-end treat (have been there for Easter and Mother’s Day.) Food selection is well thought out and delicious. Recommended!

Overpriced with no Gucci Osteria ambience; china, linens etc. Not worth $195. per person. Too loud and the independent starting stations/buffet had nothing that indicated G. Osteria was involved. It was less than suitable, along with the dessert table. Will not participate again.
