"Went for the “famous” brunch on weekend. Being european the quality and assortment of food didn’t quite meet the expectations… lack of sortiment of good cheese and the selection of sweets and desserts seemed to overrule the selection of proper food. Service was excellent and very attentive. Price was very affordable but it felt like a typical ordinary hotel buffet breakfast style. It was a good brunch but not something I would recommend food wise. The dishes that were presented was seasoned well and tasted good, but I was disappointed with the range. They only offered bad scrambled eggs for egg options."

Delicious meal, perfectly prepared for my friends’ special requests, and the waiter was very attentive and personable. Love to meet current students and learn about their stories.

A tasty meal is easy to find on the menu which is balanced and measured. The wine/beer/cocktail list is extensive. The service is a study in “how to work in a restaurant”, with an eagerness to please.
Marinus
Unfortunately, the food options and quality were poor. When we shared our experience with the waiter, he offered to call the chef to talk to us. We were waiting to do that, but the chef never appeared. View menu

We used to attend Brunch at Banfi's a few years ago and today it was mediocre. Why? Only a few items were available: scrambled eggs (no hot sauce), bacon, dry potatoes, oat meal, and two choices of crepes. We were expecting more than just a plate of various melons, and two types of cheeses.
Ewelina
Our favorite buffet in the finger lakes region. Food is very good although the roast beef was getting a little dry. Shrimp was great. Salmon was great. Dessert selection is nice. Creme Brulee was awesome as always. Please bring back the flourless chocolate cake. That used to be insanely good. Coffee is really good. Service was really good. Ease of making a reservation online was really good. Valet parking is a nice feature.
