We are so happy the buffet brunch is back at the DPI. It's been much improved with new serving dishes and an updated menu. Everything was great! We can't wait to go back.

Food was great and my only complaint was that our server never asked if we wanted another glass of wine or more hot water for tea. Otherwise we had a great time and will return.

My 84 year old mother had not been here for 30 years. I am happy to report that it is still as magical as ever! Amazing food and impeccable service. Our server even offered to take our picture by the fountain! A classic!
