Garden Terrace at The Inverness Hotel

What a disappointment, a disaster, a disenfranchisement, a brunch buffet betrayal... A Brunch, The Brunch of Denver. The Brunch that had survived Covid, The people who made it work, The Brunch that was on the upward move as 2024 approached only to give up for... margin, a new management model, who knows? What was ranked by many reputable publications in the area as "Denver's Best Brunch" has cut the hours of operations, and the once great buffet to frankly a disgraceful level worthy of an elevated continental breakfast. Yes the cost was high (~$80 + optional cost for bottomless bubbles) but I would argue We are willing to pay for sushi, shellfish, Prime Rib, lamb chops, cheese trays, desserts, and, and, and,.. Yes; it's extensive, Yes, It's exceptional, and yes, it was on the expensive side, but not for what you received from folks serving and the people preparing the feast. What a disappointment to have to seek out a new Best of Denver Brunch Buffet because of ~$25/person savings. I hear The Brown Palace will have their brunch buffet back in full force for Easter Sunday.

I am updating my review— we continue to enjoy brunches at the Garden Terrace. The recent changes still provide a beautiful omelette bar as well as a ham and hopefully later a prime rib station. Our party loved the waffles with whipped cream and warm maple syrup, as well as the array of seafood and hot entrées. The service as always was warm and friendly. We appreciate the reduction in price while still enjoying a wonderful Sunday experience. We enjoyed a wonderful family brunch celebrating a special occasion this past Sunday. Clara and the other wait staff were attentive, accommodating and kind. The food from beginning to end was consistently delicious.

Don’t Bother Anymore Do Not Go – Skip this formerly worthy destination! The Hilton Inverness Denver was one of the last great Sunday brunch opportunities in the Denver metro area. We have reservations this Sunday , and they just called us (six days before) to tell us that the brunch buffet will no longer be serving seafood (including crab legs), prime rib, sushi, or special entrees. The carving station “may” have turkey breast. The bagel station “may” have smoked salmon and will not have any other smoked fish varieties. The “may occasionally” have a fresh waffle station. One week before my wife’s birthday brunch, they called me to say that their buffet has been reduced to a glorified version of what you can find at a budget motel. We only went to the buffet once or twice a year, but it was a worthwhile destination. Here is our clear message to Hilton management: “You ruined the buffet, and we will not be back until it is restored. This buffet has gone from a don’t-miss to a why-bother with one phone call.”

This place is usually booked up a week in advance or so. Came here for the "infamous" Sunday brunch. Found a few reservations after they had made some adjustments to the menu, and the pricing. Apparently they used to have crab legs. Anyways, most of the food items were pretty good. The biscuits that come with the biscuits and gravy are rock hard. And a few of the items on display were cold. And the sausage was not cooked through. Other than that, overall, I'd say a pretty decent trip. There were a couple of instrumentalists that were playing pretty nice music, which was a nice touch.

Low quality brunch... Lack of food selection and surprisingly their food is tasteless and almost not edible. It is very disappointing.

We were suggested to this place for brunch by some friends who said the prime rib was to die for, and we also saw they had massive spreads of seafood and sushi. It turns out, as of 2024, they have shifted their menu to only have a continental breakfast style buffet. This has yet to be mentioned on their website. The food was supremely mediocre, and the coffee was burnt and awful. The silverware and glasses were filthy and we never got replacements for the utensils and glasses they took. I did not bother trying anything after having a few bites of a dry as dust ham and some extremely greasy potatoes. The options all looked so bad that most folks in front of me would open lids, make a face at the food, and close the lids. My dining partner had a few nibbles of random items just to try things and they were all under seasoned or just seemed greasy or both. The wait staff all seemed miserable. I cannot say I blame them for it. This was apparently the hot spot to get brunch on the south side of Denver, and if the menu changed so dramatically it will definitely impact them as well. Now I am doubly upset that some dingus higher up or marketing moron not only ruined what was apparently an amazing experience for their guests, but also affected the money going into their employees pockets. Our meal was comped today because everything was so gross and below expectations and I imagine so many others had the same experience today. The manager even said that many guests today had similar issues and questions. If there was an option to increase the price and keep a similar, high end experience, go with that. LITERALLY NO ONE WANTS TO PAY FIFTY DOLLARS PER PERSON FOR MEDIOCRE HOTEL FOOD. Get that through your thick skull, whoever made these changes. This is literally how establishments fail. You are creating a lower priced bait to attract more guests in the short term using an established name associated with quality. What happens when that quality is no longer there and people stop associating the restaurant with quality? If we had seem pictures of the spread that was present today, we would not have even made a reservation. Anyone who sees the existing photos on Google or other review sites will be disappointed in the same way we are until all traces of that old menu are erased.

Corporate hotel with a fancy brunch buffet. It was good. Of course, some foods suffer from being held on the buffet, but wide selection including crab legs! Nice live music too
