    We have done the Santa experience at HardRock for a few years now. It’s always expensive, but worth the expense. I can’t say the same for today. We liked the buffet being in the main room, but there wasn’t as many options for food as there normally has been. There wasn’t even syrup for the French toast sticks and no salt or pepper on the tables. The movies in the past have been great, this year we didn’t even know the movies which makes it hard to enjoy. Last year there was a Photo Booth area to take extra photos and we didn’t see that either. Santa and his elf were wonderful, once the elf got warmed up, but even the photos this year aren’t as Christmassy because the tree isn’t in it. We were used to having the words Hard Rock in our photos and have gotten past that but this year it’s really just a photo of the kids with Santa in front of the Hard Rock sign. With three kids and two adults it’s going to be really difficult to justify coming back for our sixth year next year.

    Went for their Santa brunch. The buffet style breakfast food (scrambled eggs, French toast sticks, cubed potatoes, sausage and bacon). Everything was cold except the sausage and bacon. The Santa and his helper elf saved the day, they were fantastic with the kids.

    Highly recommend their Breakfast with Santa. You get so much more than just seeing Santa. A gift from Santa. Lots of table activities. Also they take info prior to arrival so Santa is well versed in what tour little one would like for Christmas!!

    I had a reservation for 12 people for what I thought was for the Fistful of Ballers show. When I got there, it was utter chaos at the front, and my table was not ready. I had to order my food in another area of the restaurant and carried it to my table when it was ready only to be rudely told that table was for dinner only. I showed the man my food twice and told him I was eating. He told me to get up and leave the area when I was done. The food was good, overpriced for a bar atmosphere and I encountered 2 rude employees.

    Having never been to a HRC, I didn’t know what to expect. Our hostess, Kesha, was so kind and explained how the dinner and show space worked. She also taught us about the HRC locations pins. I’m happy to say that my first pin is from Pittsburgh! The service was fantastic and they had a separate gluten-free menu, important for me and another in my party. Both the waitress and hostess checked on us throughout the evening. I’ll definitely be back when I’m in Pittsburgh next.
