"I would not at all recommend Wilfrid`s for their buffet brunch. While the cold buffet offers a few higher end choices, such as cold prawns, smoked salmon and fresh lettuce with its accoutrements, the mixed salads are nondescript and loaded with objectionable ingredients. The hot buffet is unimaginative, limited and in my experience at least, always dried up, unappetizing and overcooked, even when the buffet opens. Half empty selections are neither rearranged nor removed, there is a preponderance of either cheap cuts of beef, pork and other dishes which do not cater to traditional food restrictions, the fish is overdone and over spiced, and the so-called chef behind the counter is defensive and unhelpful. It is not possible to order an egg done the way you like it, the fresh fruit is tasteless and not ripe, there is no fresh squeezed juice or even semblance thereof, and the dessert table is uninspiring. On the positive front, the atmosphere is pleasant, though the chairs are so heavy that even a prize fighter would have trouble moving them in and out from the table. Depending on which server is assigned to your table, the service can be friendly, but even that is inconsistent, as the staff usually does not attend to the guests as they should, probably because it is a buffet. In short, use your hard earned dollars for an à la carte brunch somewhere else and possibly try this place for a drink and a snack."

Johnny
service and staff were wonderful at $76 per person. I just don't see what we have. for this price I expected a lot more. View menu
Fred
Top prices for sure, but far from best service. Maybe a case of being short staffed on the Saturday night we were there.
Luc
Overall good services and food. The waitstaff are well trained and pleasant. The issue was that the food was only lukewarm, which was disappointing.
Fraser
Classic location with delicious food for everyone in our party. All the staff who met us were warm polite and efficient- especially our server Meghan. Thank you all for a memorable dinner. View menu
TERESA
We had the Thanksgiving buffet. It was okay; the turkey was a bit dry. The overall selection was not great given the price of $85/pp. The presentation of food could have been nicer as well; a bit messy and not overally attractive layouts. Server was very attentative.
Jacques
Excellent buffet, outstanding variety of quality products well-prepared and presented, including desserts. Service was friendly . However, I walk with a cane and I could have been directed to seat at a table on the same platform as the buffet. It would have been easier for me (and less risky) than having to carry a full plate in one hand and my cane in the other to help me go down the steps to my table on the main floor.
