"Chose this restaurant for a recent business luncheon. Convienence and ease was well suited to our group, however, the food left something to be desired (the group took part in the buffet). Incrediblly wide selection of sweets, however savory meal options were limited."

"You don't expect a lot from a hotel breakfast. I had a breakfast business meeting here at 8 Block during a conference at the Hyatt. The food was bad. One of my guests ordered a fruit plate and it looked like it had been sitting out for a day. My other guest ordered a side of sausage and it came out cold. He also ordered toast and came without butter - we had to ask twice for butter. We also had to ask for coffee refill. It was early and the place was empty, so there's no excuse for inattentive service.

On top of that, it was expensive. For 4 of us, it was $90. I expect high prices at hotel restaurant, but for that price I also expect a good breakfast and good service.

I recommend finding an alternative."

"The atmosphere is great, but the lunch buffet left much to be desired. The hot food was luke warm and there were not enough desserts and the desserts that were provided were stale. This buffet is not representative of the Hyatt."
