What to expect on the buffet
The resort markets the Fountain Grille’s weekend buffet as a full breakfast/brunch buffet on Sundays with Mediterranean‑inspired and American options. On-site materials and past descriptions note seasonal entertainment and menu items that include seafood, breakfast staples and brunch items.
Specific dishes change with season and chef choices; the hotel’s general menu style includes items like seafood entrées, charbroiled oysters, crab cakes, and Mediterranean-accented preparations, but exact brunch plates are not guaranteed day to day.
- Breakfast and brunch items (eggs, pastries, hot breakfast stations) are commonly offered

Venue flow, seating and dress
Because brunch is often staged in meeting or ballroom spaces, expect banquet-style seating and a buffet/service line. History Hall and the Four Springs Ballroom are among the rooms used—History Hall is a mid-size event room (about 2,145 sq. ft.) and Four Springs Ballroom is larger (3,500 sq. ft.).
Attire is casual to smart casual; the resort’s dining venues accommodate families and groups. If you prefer specific seating (by a window, waterfront view, or a quieter corner), request it when booking and arrive early if you need a particular table.
- Seating: banquet tables in event rooms or ballroom setups
- Rooms used: History Hall (smaller), Four Springs Ballroom (largest), sometimes other event spaces
- Dress: casual to smart casual
| Room | Characteristic |

| Fountain Grille (restaurant) | Restaurant space and outdoor patio seating by the fountain when available |

Reservations, timing and practical tips
Reservations are recommended for large parties (Fountain Grille recommends booking for parties of six or more) and are a good idea on busy holiday weekends. Walk-ins are generally accepted but brunch is one of the hotel’s popular weekly events.
If you’re staying at the resort, check with the 24‑hour front desk or concierge for the current brunch location and to reserve a table. Expect the event to start promptly at 11:00 AM; arriving early reduces wait times and improves seating choices.
- Recommended: reserve ahead for groups and busy weekends
- Check location on arrival—event rooms used for brunch can change
- Arrive early (short lines and better seating options)

| Large party | Make a reservation; Fountain Grille suggests reservations for 6+ |
| Confirm location | Ask front desk/concierge on the day of brunch |
| Timing | Plan to arrive by 10:45–11:00 AM to avoid lines |
