"I drove 2 hours to take my 93 yr old mother to see her grandson on stage Vibrato. We were immediately greeted by Sylvia with a smile and a welcoming voice. Although we were a few minutes early for our dinner / show reservation, we sat in what I decided to be the best place in the house. This visit was a surprise for my mother and her grandson (my son of percussionist with Andy Vargas group Los Souleros). From this point on the rest of the evening was one of the best experiences my mom and I have ever had. Our server, Michelle, was up from the very beginning. Insofar as this was my first visit, she helped me through the amazing menu by making some excellent recommendations with drinks, food for mom and my steak lobster dinner. Not only was Andy Vargas an excellent singer/Entertainer, but the other members of his group were extremely talented musicians. The music was happy, lively and appealed to everyone in attendance, dancing with many of the customers in the Aisles. A special moment for my mom was when the saxophone player came to our table and had sung her for a moment, he brought tears to her eyes. The last touch was when a Vibrato employee presented my mom with a few sticks of beautiful orchids. I can't say enough about our evening. This was not only a great dinner/show, but an experience worth the drive and the price. I look forward to returning and joining with others who enjoy the more subtle things in life. P.S. I grew up listening to Herb Alpert The Tijuana Brass, but I am also musician for many years (Keyboarder/Singer and my mother was pianist in classical music and 2 of my other sons played trumpet in some of my original bands many years ago. Tonight was a night of pure joy and great memories. Thank you, Herb and your staff."

"I was excited to join friends (party of 4) for Friday brunch/lunch at the beautiful Alfond Inn. Our experience was very disappointing. The 2 men at our table received their eggs benedict a full 10 minutes before my friend I received our meals. The eggs were cooked well, the ham was good but the hollandaise was thin and only a mere drizzle (barely a tablespoon full) topped the eggs. After 10 minutes my friend received her entree salad and lukewarm soup. Her salad tasted good but all ingredients were in the bottom of the bowl and not on top of lettuce. Not as pictured in other reviews. It was another 5 minutes before I received my salad Niicoise that was described as having Nicoise olives, artichokes, tomatoes, green beans, seared tuna eggs. I noticed the olives were missing and the server went to retrieve from the kitchen. I then realized that salad was also missing artichokes and tomatoes. So half the advertised ingredients were missing. I like a green bean with a bit of snap, but these tasted cold, raw and not cooked at all. The tuna was not freshly seared. It was ice cold (not quite defrosted), watery, rubbery, gray in color and tasteless except for a slightly fishy taste at the end. The server explained that the salad cook was new. I sent back my salad to order something different It was another 10 minutes before server returned for my replacement order. At that point everyone else had finished their meal. I ordered a cup of soup because I thought it would be quick. It was not. It was also lukewarm. Server then tried to remove everyone else's plates while I was just beginning my soup. The cost of the entree salad was removed from our check but at no time did a manager approach our table to apologize or see what he could do. No other accommodations were made. Our server apologized as we were leaving and told me that the new salad cook would undergo additional training for the future. Weird comment, and what good would that do me? The Alfond Inn deservedly is a 4 star hotel. I would expect the service and food at Hamilton's Kitchen to meet the same standards. We had bad food, bad service. I am not a complainer and rarely send back food, having spent time as a server many years ago in my college days. Huge disappointment. I would not recommend."
