Royal Park Hotel Brunch

Last Sunday we took the morning and treated ourselves to an incredible brunch experience at The Royal Park Hotel in Rochester, MI. I say experience because it goes beyond extremely well tasting food. But, I'll get to that.
From the time we were greeted and seated began a pleasant encounter. The lovely person who took our beverage orders and later talk with us, knowledgably of the dishes and recommendations based on our conversations. Big on interpersonal communications, I felt confident that she was talking with us, not at us. She was listening and not just hearing. It was evident that she was there to make our dining experience a successful time. Major credit goes to our server and the staff at The Royal Park Hotel for creating an atmosphere for patrons to share! Now let's talk food!

Christopher selected Eggs Benedict with Oak Smoked Salmon served with Rosemary Red Skin Potatoes. The eggs were presented on perfectly toasted English Muffins. The sauce was a perfect creamy addition with slight hints, not over whelming, lemon flavor. Pleasantly, the salmon was prepared to perfection with pink salmon center.

I selected the White Chocolate, Raspberry and Blueberry Kugelhopf Brioche "French Toast" with warm Maple syrup. The berries were firm and fresh with the right addition to the dish. I'm told the fruits were local produce items. Thank you for buying/providing local and of course, Michigan Made! Oh, and who could forget the side of crispy bacon!

Thanks to The Royal Park for reaffirming what we have known about great food and excellent service makes for great patrons! Hope to see you soon!
