Can I tell you how excited we were to return to Essence of Unionville! After a long pandemic closure, their Sunday brunch buffets resumed earlier this year. It’s still one of our favorite uptown brunch spots. The staff and management team, including our regular server, Barbara, warmly welcomed us back! The seating and décor changed a bit, but our favorite booth was still available. The buffet included: Herb Crusted Pork Loin with Pineapple Glaze, Artic Char, Roast Turkey, Prime Rib, Omelet Station, Smashed Potatoes with French Herbs, Rigatoni Pasta with Baby Spinach, Grilled Vegetables in Tomato Sauce, Vegetable Fried Rice, Maple Glazed Seasonal Vegetables, Eggs Benedict, Canadian Bacon Saus...
Unfortunately, this was disappointing and also is a case for misleading advertising by the Hilton. They advertise as an upscale afternoon tea in pictures along with a price that reflects an upscale experience...(which I don't mind paying at all, if it is truly upscale service and food the service was not done appropriately for an afternoon tea, (the robot is cute but shouldn't be used on this occasion the worst part and important part was Tea sandwich bread was stale .... Not one sandwich, all three of our sandwiches were stale...! Also I noted it was a birthday and there was no recognition at all! So for $200 total for 3 people we were not impressed !

The service at this restaurant was outstanding. The staff were incredibly professional and friendly, checking on us regularly. Our main server, Paul, was very helpful and took the time to chat with us even during the busy rush. The food was delicious and fresh; we were fortunate to arrive shortly after they opened. The omelette and meat carving stations were particularly good. It would be beneficial to separate them to prevent long line-ups and confusion. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience.

The lunch menu and the afternoon tea is good. But the hotel lobby is currently under renovation. The drilling noise was very disturbing during our meal. Basically it's difficult to have a conversation. I don't understand why they have to do this during lunch hour or busy hour when customers are enjoying their food.
The food at this restaurant is quite good, but one thing that is disappointing is that they failed to mention the increase in price for their Sunday brunch buffet in December. I only realized that it was $7 more per person when I went to pay.
There's less selection than the pre pandemic Afternoon Tea buffet, but more care has been put into the menu sandwiches are much better now. Desserts are delicious as well the citrus whipped cream is the best
I had a very enjoyable dinner here. The decor and ambience is inviting and the food was fresh and tasty. Excellent service by our server Joseph. I would definitely recommend and come back again.
