The breakfast buffet was so much more than I was expecting. They have dim sum, smoked fish, charcuterie, veggies, fruits, pastries, etc. The chicken sausage and applewood bacon were superb, and the scrambled eggs were light, fluffy, and creamy. Be sure to get some freshly squeezed orange juice. The only thing I regret is not having a bigger stomach! I would have added photos, but I ate it all.

This place is just breath-taking !! Super classy and elegant and the staff is next level service oriented, thank you *Bill* for being our waiter and super attentive ! We came here on a Sunday for their breakfast buffet - and was sooo worth it! See my pictures for more details of the venue and the food, but they had anything from bagels, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, croissants and fruits/ berries 🤩

We made a reservation for a Friday brunch to celebrate a milestone birthday. The Palace Court is probably the most beautiful restaurants one will ever see! Our waiter, born in Nepal, now an American citizen was attentive, friendly, and added a lot to our experience. I ordered an omelet full of fresh vegetables. Outstanding. My friends were just as happy. I only wish that coffee were served extra hot. It's lukewarm. They need special coffee servers who attend only to coffee maniacs like myself. On our way out, we chatted with a very cool couple who travel once a year to the Palace Hotel. They commemorate their marriage, parenthood, and joy in San Francisco. Even tho' they are no longer married, they keep this tradition. Hats off to them!
