Had the burger special and French fries were lacking. Feel like I got the crumbs as they were the ends and less than a handful….. happened on prior visits, so these need some work.

I love going to the Roycroft for brunch, but I would not recommend going later than 1pm. I made the reservation online, but it was apparent when we arrived that brunch service was coming to a close. We stayed for a time totaling less than an hour and fifteen minutes, but felt rushed to get out as the server, busser, and manager all visited our table increasingly frequently. I don't feel like this is a very long time, especially for a bottomless breakfast, but maybe if we had come earlier, we would have felt differently. Coffee was excellent, great variety of dishes, and you can't beat the ambience. We tried a couple of specialty cocktails; I wish the bacon was crispier on the bloody Mary. Overall another excellent experience, but I will definitely plan on an earlier visit next time.

Food was good but portions were small and surprised there wasn’t a salad with the meals considering the price of each entree. Waited approx one hour for food. Waiter was great and apologetic for delay. Drinks were great. We were seated by front door and our whole meal was interrupted by the front door opening and closing letting in band members setting up and the cold air .

Besides the ambiance and service the food selection and taste was fantastic from breakfast items to fresh cut prime rib and turkey. An added bonus to each buffet is an included mimosa or poinsettia, coffee and tea. The dessert tables were filled with many different desserts and gluten free options. As we were going through all the buffet options a waiter was changing out the foods to keep them fresh and hot. I highly recommend this brunch!

Had a nice leisurely dinner at the Roycroft Restaurant in EA. We sat in the front music area & the band started when we were ard 3/4 of the way thru our meal. Very good music & voices. Our server was on top of things & did a great job. Food was good as usual. Would certainly return.

Everything was just okay. Salmon was good but a bit too salty for my liking. The shrimp and lobster bisque was too thick and reminded me of jarred baby food. French onion was delish. Being first time visitors we made a reservation for the craftsman room, not knowing it was not the main dining area. They should add some clarification on this to their website. Our server was great, but service was slow because we were not in the main dining area. I’m glad we tried it since we’ve lived in the area for 8 years without trying it, but not somewhere I would go again.
