Lion's Head Pub - Edmonton

This turned to be our place to go on Saturdays. Amazing service, good choice of food items. All you can eat crab! Can't go wrong with that. There is a prime rib station and a pasta bar, cold cuts and salad bar, as well, some...More

We had not been here for quite a while and now I remember why. The food is nothing to write home about...and that's why I am writing this review. For the price you should be able to get fresher, better prepared and more nicely displayed offerings. I will remember that when I am looking for a brunch venue again.

My stay at the Radisson included vouchers for breakfast. Is there is something about being a middle-aged female professional that gives wait staff a reason to be rude? The cafe asks you to wait to be seated, and the wait wasn't too long, but the hostess pointed to a table, and immediately left. Other (male) professionals were brought orange juice, asked if they wanted coffee, etc. I did find a pitcher of adequate coffee at the table, but finally flagged down a wait person to get a non-coffee beverage. The buffet itself looks beautiful, and it has a wide variety of foods. However, their lovely display of pastry was teaming with fruit flies. In my 90 minute wait to give them them my voucher, nobody approached me, so I was unable to point out the issue with the fruit flies. I waited at the cash register to give them my voucher, and finally just left. Its not as if I wanted any special treatment, but seeing how the staff took care of the male professionals and ignored me was insulting.

Good atmosphere, variety of food on buffet table but found it was not hot. Good spot for kids at the chocolate fountain. Made to order omelettes were delicious.

Stayed at the hotel and my rate did not include breakfast so I opted for their breakfast buffet. The food selections were plentiful and replenished quickly but the quality of food was just average. However, the service was great! There were only two servers that morning and most of the tables were occupied because of a big student group but both of the servers were amazing. I was seated quickly, tea and juice were on the table within 2 minutes. I usually stay in the other Radisson in town and their breakfast buffet, although with very limited selections, is way better and the pricing is almost 30% cheaper. Just thought I'd mention that for comparison purposes. Purely for the plentiful food selections and great service, I would recommend this restaurant for breakfast.
