sunsets of wayzata

This past Sunday the girls, Jonathan and I ventured a short jaunt over to Downtown Wayzata for brunch and decided to go to the locally famous Sunsets. They feature a brunch buffet that is massive! And tons to choose from.

APPEARANCE: Classic. Cloth napkins. Cozy. Fine dining. View of beautiful Lake Minnetonka. Yet, something old feeling about it.

CUSTOMER SERVICE: Generally good. The hostess was stumped when we came in as we didn't have a reservation and it took her several minutes (ok, maybe four or so) to figure out where to seat us, which that is an eternity when you are holding a baby and have a hungry, anxious toddler to contend with. They sat people who walked in behind us, which makes matters a little more frustrating. BUT, we did end up with a table by the lake, but were told we had to be out of there in an hour.

FOOD: Pretty good! LOTS of choices to please everyone and even a prepare to order station. The offered breakfast and lunch options, so we ate well. The coffee was lacking and for as fine of an establishment as this seemed, I was surprised to be served the shelf-stable creamer cups instead of real cream (I have a thing about these).

KID FRIENDLY: They had high chairs and kid cups, but no coloring/entertainment gimicky things. If I were there on my own, I would have had to leave as I could not have managed a buffet on my own, and there were no menu options at that time.

PRICE: The cost for the adult buffets were $15.95, but we were not charged for the kids. A little pricey and I never seem to do a buffet justice.

VISIT OR STAY AWAY: Visit, but I certainly enjoyed the regular dining experience there in the past rather than the buffet. And maybe without the kids.

Sunsets of Wayzata is located at 700 East Lake, Wayzata MN
