I had pretty high hopes based on reviews and it mostly did not disappoint- we tried the chicken & waffles and the Pembroke Benedict and both were really good. The lemon ricotta pancakes were dense and not as fluffy or tasty as expected. Would try it again and would still recommend it. The service and ambience are great.

I came to Pembroke for brunch and had a very pleasant experience overall. The restaurant itself is beautiful—lots of natural light, big windows, and a bright, airy atmosphere that gives off really good vibes. For food, I ordered the smoked salmon everything bagel platter as well as the breakfast sandwich. The breakfast sandwich was very delicious, though I would have liked a few more potatoes on the side. I also ordered the Greek yogurt parfait, which was very good and a nice lighter option. Overall, it was a solid breakfast, and I actually felt healthier eating here compared to some other brunch spots. Service was good, and the food came out relatively quickly. Everything felt smooth and easy, which is always appreciated for brunch. While nothing completely blew me away or made me feel like I needed to rush back immediately, it was still a very enjoyable, reliable spot with good food, great ambiance, and a relaxed feel. A great choice if you’re looking for a calm, sunny place for brunch.

We are staying at the hotel and the service has been consistent throughout - amazing! We had brunch at The Pembroke and Tsion was our server. She was so hospitable! She took the time to get to know us and offered great service! The food was delicious. My husband had the steak and eggs and I had The breakfast sandwich - both were 10/10! My husband had the Wuthering Heights cocktail and rated it 10/10. I had a cappuccino with hazelnut and it was delicious!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our brunch at The Pembroke!! We were celebrating my husband's birthday and the staff treated him warmly and brought a special Happy Birthday treat. Each of us enjoyed our meals and the truffle fries and cinnamon bun were the stars for me. Absolutely delicious!! We will be back!

I had the pleasure of dining and celebrating my birthday at the Pembroke restaurant and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere was so romantic and our waiter Artie was wonderful. I ordered the broccolini as an appetizer and the lamb bolognese to start. Both were prepared deliciously and proved to be flavorful. I ended with the ribeye which had homemade steak sauce and peppers. It was by far the most delicious ribeye I’ve ever eaten. I throughly enjoyed the drink Artie recommended and I am excited to share that my entire experience dining at The Pembroke was absolutely amazing. We even decided to enjoy breakfast there the following morning and we were just as pleased with breakfast. Hats off to the chefs and the entire culinary team for making my taste buds and my tummy very Happy on my 47th Birthday!!
