We went to Vernon’s because we wanted a buffet style brunch. Waited “forever” to be acknowledged and seated. The musician playing was a nice touch. The buffet food selection was adequate and typical of a hotel buffet breakfast. Some upgrades included chicken and waffles and peel and eat shrimp. Smoked salmon was delicious, as were the scrambled eggs. Made to order eggs and omelets were available, as were “make your own” pancakes and waffle stations were somewhat hidden behind the main buffet line with no signage indicating its availability. Some disappointments – french toast looked and tasted like plain toast, and no signage for syrup. Bacon was a joke for the price of any buffet. A whole pan of overcooked, almost burnt bacon. They should never have been brought out. Bright spot – service was excellent. Another negative- parking, and how to get out of their lot, is a mess. No signage anywhere about the price to park for dining (do they really charge for parking to dine?). Overall, not a 4 star or 5 star experience.

I absolutely enjoyed my experience for Sunday Brunch today at Vermont’s Restaurant. The service was excellent, the food was prepared perfectly and very tasteful. I had a party of 14 and everyone was thoroughly satisfied. We were celebrating a birthday today and things turned out so well. We all definitely plan to attend Sunday Brunch again and again. Thank you so much for an exceptional time.

The breakfast I had to take to go bc it took an hour to get it was good, unfortunately I was so angry and put off by the incompetence of the staff. It took a good 15 minutes before someone came to the table. Didn’t take my order. More waiting. I had to flag the water guy who couldn’t take an order right so he brought over my actual waitress. And the order was still wrong. There were 3 or 4 other parties total and they had more than enough staff. This was bs.

We used to go there for sunday brunch when it was Cafe on the Greens, it was Great. Now, not worth $30, no crab, no shrimp, no prime rib, formosa’s was not included in price. Cheaper to order from the menu.

The four of us went for Valentine’s dinner. We sat for a while until we had to let our server know we were ready to place our order. Three of us had to return our soup because it was cold. I asked for a 2nd cup of coffee and it came out cold, so I didn’t drink it. Once the food came out it was cold. I then asked for a to go box, I will heat it up tomorrow for lunch. Just didn’t wish to keep complaining. Maybe it was just tonight because I’ve been here times before without any complaints. I will come again.

Chef Riley is amazing and I’m glad I got to enjoy his inspired Feast for Rabbits. Not only was everything delicious, but it was an entirely vegan menu! A one of a kind experience that I would recommend to anyone.

We had family in town and wanted to do a Birthday surprise at Vernon’s for Sunday Brunch. Rachel Rusmisel handled our plans and delivered in style with amazing food and his favorite Strawberry Shortcake as the Birthday Cake (perfectly prepared by Pastry Chef, Jess, and Sous Chef, Greg). Andrew was the Host with the Most and our Amazing Servers were Jordan and Diana. The Cherry on Top was Neil Dixon, the Live Musician, who sang Happy Birthday in addition to his regular perfect pieces! The Celebration could not have gone better! Thank you sooooo much to Rachel and Staff!! I highly encourage anyone looking for a fun celebration to contact them in advance so that the stage can be set like it was for ours! Then … all you and your family do is show up and ENJOY!

Nice place to sit, chill, have a cocktail, and try your hand at a little island green.

I chose Vernons based on the reviews I have read, many of which seem to be on the plus side. Our party of 8 is a monthly dinner group and the reviews were sort of mixed. We began with drinks at the bar and during happy hour drinks with hosue brands are actually a good value. I ordered a drink with Tito’s and my wife ordered a prosecco. Was surprised the bill was $23 before tip! Others in the party ordered happy hour branda and paid around $10 for two drinks. The bar, at least during the time we were there, was understaffed and it took forever to get our orders in as the bartender was managing a table of 10 women along with another 10 at the bar. so service was rathger slow and he was not very attentive. Around 6:15pm he did get help and service picked up.

Marriott’s restaurant serving a well stocked buffet with shrimp and smoked salmon. Omelette preparation excellent. A little expensive though.
