You wouldn't think to go here if you didn't know, but they have a great brunch buffet for $19. It's really quite a bargain because not only is it a large buffet with lots of options but the price also includes made to order eggs benedict, Belgian waffles and smoked salmon platters. There's an omelet station, lots of breads, muffins and pastries; the bacon and sausage are good, not too wilted or soggy, and yummy biscuits and cream chipped beef. Randomly, I really liked the Caesar salad - closest thing to mom's homemade Caesar dressing I've ever had out somewhere. I didn't make it to the carving station, but it looked pretty standard. Save room for dessert - there are lots of options, irresistible and adorable mini cakes and small bites. You won't find anything new or creative, but quality-wise the food is definitely a cut above your typical hotel or buffet food. Like the food, the atmosphere and décor are classic and traditional. There was a baby or bridal shower in an adjoining room (probably a good venue for this sort of thing), lots of families, ladies who brunch and people rolling out of bed from the hotel for a leisurely brunch. Our server was nice and was as attentive as you need to be for a buffet.

Yummy food and very fair prices! I ate there two nights in a row and I had: Ceaser Salad Filet Mignon with veggies and mashed potatoes Neptunes Sampler with a lobster tail, grilled scallops & shrimp, a crab cake, mashed potatoes and asparagus. Seafood Bisque House Salad All of the food was pretty flavorful and served promptly. Any feedback around improvements would be that the dressing on the cesear salad was way too strong. I could only take a few bites and had to leave it alone. The seafood bisque had a ton of cheese in it as well which was a little different but it still had a decent enough flavor and texture. The filet and seafood items were perfectly cooked and not overdone.

After driving around a little bit without ANY signs showing where the restaurant is, we finally found it by asking the front desk. The restaurant is very old school .. almost as if it were a cigar room for millionaires. Dated decor. However, the service and food was AMAZING. I was very impressed. The room was quiet, and more for a 50+ age group couple, but I must say the food and service overrid all of the negatives. I'd like to come back in the summer.

Started coming here because of the Groupon deals but now we just because the food is delicious. Even though it is a bit on the expensive side, it is worth it. The food is always good, and the staff is always very friendly. The decor is a little outdated but we go there for the food, not the looks. Would definitely recommend the mushroom soup and the bread pudding!

It was our 1st time at The Desmond and weren't sure what to expect. We've heard mixed reviews about the restaurant but I can tell you after being there, that I'll be back there and very soon. Most of our excellent experience was do to the fact that our service was amazing. Our server named Elide was exceptional and very friendly. We enjoyed our meals and took advantage of their prix-fixe menu, which was prices well with a number of excellent items to choose from. I plan on buying a couple gift cards for others to experience a wonderful restaurant just as we did. And I plan on telling them to ask to be seated with Elide.

It's worth noting that this review is based solely on their brunch. My parents and I came here and it was all just okay. For starters, the decor could use some serious updating, which is normally no big deal if the meal is delicious. We were seated at a little booth like table but instead of being able to slide in like a regular booth, the seats were more like a couch but with wooden arms. It was uncomfortable getting in and out, the seats were lumpy, and it was nearly impossible to sit up straight because of how the seats were sort of angled back. Sharing one side of the bench, my parents had very little room. My dad mentioned his car being much more comfortable and spacious. They also had weird placements, which was sort of annoying because it's a brunch and we had multiple plates on the table between the brunch items and the items you had to order separately through your server but whatever. The food itself at the brunch was just okay, but nothing memorable. The omelette was probably the best thing I ate, but it still wasn't anything special. My dad's eggs benedict wasn't all that great, either. The carving station was unmanned, so I sort of gave up on trying any of the beef. It looked overcooked anyway so maybe that was for the better. They seemed a bit understaffed and the brunch room was small. The desserts were also just okay. I was excited to see that they had macaroons, but they were sort of crispy and hard. The bread pudding was pretty good, though. Overall, it just wasn't that great of a brunch and I've experienced much better in this area. With so many other options, I don't think I would choose The Hunt Room again.

Let me start off by saying that the food here was so amazing that I had to ask for a second serving. This is by far the best NY strip that I've had. Yum! If you have not tried a NY strip, try it here! Kudos to the chef! I also loved the service. My server was so friendly that she just wouldn't stop. It was totally enjoyable. I did not like the decor too much. I think it could do with some remodeling but I guess that's a personal preference. Some people just like it that way I guess. But I know I will come back for the food. And to chat up with that server if I get her again!

Went here with my boyfriend for dinner, we had a Groupon. He ordered the prime rib, I ordered the filet. Both of us enjoyed the food, the service, and the atmosphere. Everything was good, but I wouldn't say great. For around $30 a meal (and an average size portion) I don't see us returning for just a good meal. There are a lot of great restaurants in the area.

They do have good food and the crabcake is one of the best in the entire area. They do have one policy I just don't get. Went there for lunch on Saturday and walked in at 11:50 AM. Hostess said that they didn't serve lunch until noon, but it was only 10 minutes away so sat down anyway. Sat and sat and sat and finally at noon I asked if we could get something to drink. The hostess got some iced tea and said now that it was noon a waitress would be over shortly. Dear god, are you telling me that the people that were there for breakfast and brunch could get served from the kitchen, but for the sake of a few minutes they refused to take a lunch order? Yep, no ordering lunch until noon or after. I almost left, but I figured by the time I went somewhere else I might actually get served here. At 12:15 another hostess came over and asked to take our order. Like I said, the food is good although this time I had the fried oysters with chicken salad instead of the crabcake. Have to say it was probably better than Legal Seafood. Anyway, if you go for lunch make sure you don't walk in before noon because you won't get served.

Great Brunch Buffett!

This establishment has great food, excellent service and pretty good ambiance. Great venue for business dinners. I don't yelp every restaurant I visit, however the service was so remarkable that it is worth sharing my insights for other future yelper. Our waitress, Jackie (a Chinese mom) was absolutely incredible, she was entertaining, funny, charismatic, very personable and provided solid recommendations for both wine and food. You know what... I thought she was the owner by the way she carried herself. As for the food, I tried the prix fix dinner, with seafood chowder, long island duck, and apple pie. Definitely a solid deal for a $29. $26 if you arrive before 6:30 pm. I hear the Imperial Crab entree is to die for... and it is creamy. My dishes were delicious! All cooked to perfection! Bottom line is call in advance and ask to be seated in Jackie's section. You will have a great night. And ask her about her daughters!

Can't believe that there aren't any reviews of this place yet! It's amazing! Great, old-school money style decor, great food by an award winning chef! This was an amazing experience time and time again. It was very romantic on our anniversary dinner, the arf was playing and the filet mignon and different variety of appetizers and entrees were all delicious, nothing spectacularly original, but all cooked to perfection. This is a great place for a business traveler or a romantic dinner alike, a true gem in a richy suburb of Philly. I try to come anytime I travel.

If ever there was a place where I want to rate it 5 stars, or even 4 and a half, and it pains my heart not to, the Hunt Room is it. The Patriarch, The Queen Mother, The Reverend Dr. Steak, Honorable Pastor Baby Back Ribs, Faithful Dining Companion and the Young 'Uns all headed out to the Hunt Room for a celebratory dinner. The hotel and the dining room are tastefully done in the way that hotels used to present themselves before the Invasion of the Chain. The room has touches of Colonial style with large brass chandeliers and such, but also lots of burgundy and tan and touches of 'hunting' (paintings of horses, men, foxes, etc.) as it is after all the "Hunt Room". The room was a mix of tables (round, square) and booths, and there are also half wall partitions creating dining 'spaces'. As it is the "Hunt Room" we were not at all surprised by the offerings - mostly meat though there is a mushroom ravioli. They had three selections of Angus Beef, several seafood selections (Salmon, Grouper, Scallops, etc.), Wild Duckling, Veal, and Chicken entrees on the menu. Surprisingly, they did have a children's menu filled with the usual fare (cheeseburgers, chicken fingers, pasta, grilled cheese). Food overall was excellent - the Prime Rib, the Filet Mignon and the NY Strip were all ordered and devoured. The herbed butter on the NY Strip made it luscious, and both the Members of the Supreme Church of the Carnivore mostly made grunting noises and nearly licked their plates clean of the Prime Rib. These are good signs. The Filet was done nicely medium well. Scallops were proclaimed quite good. The ONE soft spot was the veal - very tough, difficult to cut even with a steak knife and despite all the preparation, surprisingly tasteless. It was promptly removed from our bill with apologies. The only other soft spot would be the salads - which were, just OK. The Wedge wasn't a wedge, but a slab of iceberg, great bleu cheese and good bacon but the peppercorn dressing doesn't do it justice - it needs Russian dressing. Garden salads were 'ok'. A special moment was the service of the two soups - mushroom and lobster bisque. The soups arrived with just the solids - either the roasted mushrooms or lobster pieces. The server then hand poured the respective cream soups into the bowl for you. What a lovely, lovely presentation. Both soups were proclaimed delicious and empty bowls were returned to the kitchen. Now for service - I cannot say enough good things about our server Elide. She was fantastic, professional, swift, personable and patient. The Queen Mother has 'memory issues' and can be high maintenance. Elide handled it beautifully, repeating the order multiple times without a hint of annoyance. Each time it was as if she had never been asked. When substitutions were asked for they were cheerily handled and in one case, anticipated as the standard side is a polenta dish - and the Patriarch long ago proclaimed that we would never be so poor as to eat polenta (as he had done as a child when the food ran out). Further, and this was really special - when one of the Young 'Uns became, well, itchy, she told him that the chefs had told her there were only 40 french fries on the plate but she was sure there were more so they made a bet. Could the Young 'Un help her win by counting the fries? This kept an itchy child perfectly happy for long enough for the rest of us to finish. Bless you, Elide. The Young 'Un happily proclaimed that there were 87 fries on the plate, got a high five and as a bonus got tips on how to turn his take out bag into a house for a pet squirrel puppet. This was SO SO SO close to 5 stars it hurts my heart not to give them. I feel obligated to take off for the unremarkable salads and the tough veal. Please don't let this deter you. It's a lovely place to enjoy a traditional meal with fine service and also a place to help your children become accustomed to fine dining in a receptive environment. Hunt Room, we'll be back with pleasure. Thank you for a remarkable, special meal.

Great service. My server was talking TOO much to me, but other then that, I really enjoyed my dinner. I had Restaurant.com coupon so had to order minimum $50. I went there alone, so I had three course meal JUST FOR ME! They happen to have Wagyu beef as a special, so I had to go with that. I had Seared Tuna (app), Salad deluxe (taste change), and had Waguy beef (entree). I got so full, so couldn't tackle the dessert. I wish I could go back with friends. It would be more delicious if I had a company. :)

My family and I braved a snow storm to get to the Hunt Room. Glad we did. Our server Eldie was great and her recommendations were spot on. We left with the bread pudding recipe. The price fixe menu worked great as well. We used a Groupon which worked great as well.

We had a lovely meal here. I would not have thought to go to a HOTEL restaurant. But our friend had a coupon from restaurant.com . We arrived with the restaurant half full on a cold snowy night. We asked to be seated towards the back where they have benches for the booth seats. It was nice and cozy. Our friends had fillets and I had rib tips. The meat was delicious. Everyone agreed that this was should be on our list to return. I want to go back for another meal tomorrow.! Our waitress was Elide, who is a little talkative but very friendly. She is mentioned in other reviews here. We were dressed in business casual, but other folks came in jeans. Thank goodness, no TV's on the wall.
