Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Ellyngton's offers a mixed dining experience, with standout service and exceptional made-to-order brunch options. Guests rave about "terrific food" and "amazing staff," while the contemporary decor and ambiance receive mixed reviews. The jazz brunch is a highlight, although some feel the restaurant lacks the historic charm expected at the Brown Palace.

    It was not reflective of the institution that Brown Palace is. The food choices and presentation was something that you would find at a corporate catering. We were disappointed and sad and also expected a much higher level of experience. For example, the desert station was slim and outside of the restaurant, in the front entry are of the hotel. And we spend $800 for 5 people.

    Food was cold. Not a large selection of food. Overpriced for the quality and selection of food. Room temperature was cold. I expected a much better experience.

    Such great history. More old style banquet hall space dining room still elegant and beautiful. The hotel itself stunning was interested in tea but fully committed. Dawa and the team took great care of us and were on top of everything offering such genuine care and made celebrating my best friends birthday extra special! The food was phenomenal a lot of brunch options with some exciting new options. The bacon wrapped sausage in maple bbq a must try while the croissant and fruit tray makes the best starter. Thank you all again!

    Ellyngton's costs a little more but is well worth it in my estimation. I was impressed with the level of service and attention paid to us. The food was worth several trips down the buffet line if only my tummy was big enough. The noise level was moderate and at times hard to speak or hear above it but manageable overall. I would (and have) gone back several times. The musical group played a soft jazz format that was well received. Very relaxing.

    OMG! This was the the best breakfast I’ve had in a while. I was already on cloud 9 and this was just an amazing way to start the day. Hands down the best biscuits and gravy I’ve found in Colorado. The coffee was really good. Their fruit is fresh and the burrito my wife got was also very tasty. The service was very friendly and was very helpful. Just an amazing experience!

    It was just okay. We went for a unique breakfast experience after a tough week. The lobby was beautiful just decorated the day before for the holidays, but the food was just okay, they forgot my hollandaise sauce, and took a long time to re-fill out coffees. We expected a jazz brunch as they said on the website, no jazz was forthcoming at 9 and we left close to 10.

    We were completely disappointed. We had expected a wonderful and beautiful day for the Halloween themed brunch but we were completely shocked at the poor choice of the buffet and the quality was substandard and certainly not worth the price. It was not even close to what it used to be, which I loved each Halloween season. The new Ellington's looks stark ,and the tables are like a cheap restaurant. There was absolutely no seafood and having the dessert in the hall was strange. We had brought guests and offered an apology for the poor quality after we had talked it up so much. Work needs to be done (which is what I had been hearing) to return to the place we had come to know for brunch. Bummer.
