Holiday Events At The Ritz Carlton Tysons Corner

Lunch service Food meh. Wings were good at first bite but then quickly faded. Like a stick of juicy fruit gum. The calamari was far too greasy and the breading did not stick to the squid. The fish sandwich was far too greasy, as was the bun and fries and was way under salted. Service was good. Decor was odd. Sitting at the back tables, the table was about upper chest high. I’m 6 feet tall so imagine if you were a shorter person. Overall will not come back, especially for the price. It was clear why the place was so empty.

We had breakfast before leaving the hotel; we had hoped for brunch, but we were too early. We would suggest making the brunch times more obvious since it is a suggested activity. The selections were nice, but limited. My husband ended up with vegetables he didn't like or want. These were replaced with hash browns, but it left me thinking the descriptions could have been more detailed. The chairs were strange, but otherwise the decor is nice. Service was great and as far as appearance of the food, they get 5 stars. You couldn't ask for a nicer looking breakfast.

It was very cold inside! Service was really slow despite of only a few tables were booked. Our waiters didn’t bothered to bring drinks menu and breakfast menu. I saw other table was having some breakfast items and asked if we can have the breakfast menu she said sure I will bring it but she never did. Food was OK. Chopped Salad was very generous size and delicious . Again our waiter didn’t bring any bread& butter until I asked for it.

Sunday brunch buffet with the family was mediocre. The “Raw Bar” was bland chilled shrimp and a seafood dip that okay but where’s the raw?...and it was served on a bar but the “raw bar” designation makes you think there will be more than 2 non-raw options. The tables with selections from a few grilled veggies to not so ripe fruit also contained an uninteresting selection of cheese and a few prosciutto types of meats. Kind of lame. The entrees you got to choose from were good, so if we ever did go back as a last resort, it would be for the plated meals off the menu with no buffet. It just wasn’t worth the price. So disappointing.

The brunch overall was very good as well as the service. Menu selections offered a nice variety of entrees and the buffet itself is of good quality ingredients.
