    This is our favorite place for a family meal. Some of the dishes were empty and we had to wait 30 minutes for the trays to refill. It took too long. Service was great.

    Always a delicious variety of breakfast and brunch choices, friendly and attentive staff and clean and comfortable environment. Our favorite weekend brunch buffet spot on the peninsula. The chocolate fountain was my daughter's favorite part of our visit. Rice krispie treats, marshmallows, strawberries, brownies, cookies.. everso scrumptious!! The omelette station never ceases to amaze the taste buds with all the essential ingredients and toppings necessary for a mouthwatering omelette. There's definitely dishes I would have loved to have enjoyed, but I had to save room for the hot, crispy and fluffy waffles with whipped nutella, fresh strawberries, blueberries, banana slices, topped with whipped cream, drizzled with rich syrup. We enjoyed every moment and every bite of our brunch buffet experience. We would have appreciated the bacon, sausages, scrambled eggs and potatoes a bit more if they were a few more degrees hotter. They seemed just below room temp, by the time we got back to our table and took our first bites. Some items, such as the roasted chicken and prime rib required a bit more seasoning for our taste. A few dashes of pepper and salt at our table made these servings almost perfect. Thanks to our server Alyssa, our glasses were never empty, every sip of our coffee was always hot, and our table was never cluttered with used plates. We sincerely appreciate the Pinstripe staff for consistently making our brunch experiences amazing!! Can't wait to come for another visit for a plateful of seconds, thirds, fourths, etc. etc. 😋
