We enjoyed a lovely Sunday brunch at The Pembroke. The wonderful views with the bright sun streaming in the huge windows makes for a beautiful atmosphere. Aroldo F was very attentive to our every need. Our party started with a Jumbo Cinnamon Roll-it’s everything a cinnamon roll should be, freshly baked, lightly sweet with just enough glaze and delicious! We also enjoyed the Steak & Eggs- the steak cut like butter; The Brioche French Toast-nicely crisp on the outside and perfectly balanced sweetness throughout; and The Benedict Royale-the combination of locally smoked salmon, deliciously toasted English muffins, perfectly poached eggs topped with a silky smooth sauce was just delicious and it is paired with a perfectly portioned mixed greens salad. A perfect way to spend a relaxing Sunday. 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!!

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.

I’ve visited The Pembroke twice, and both experiences were outstanding. From the ambiance to the service to the quality of the food, everything was executed at a high level.

The atmosphere is elegant yet inviting — ideal for both intimate dinners and special occasions. Service was attentive, polished, and professional without feeling overbearing. The team demonstrated strong knowledge of the menu and delivered a seamless dining experience from start to finish.

The food was beautifully presented and thoughtfully prepared, with balanced flavors and attention to detail in every course. Consistency across multiple visits speaks to strong kitchen leadership and operational standards.

Overall, The Pembroke delivers a refined, memorable dining experience. I look forward to returning.

Went for dinner and was hungry but left unsatisfied. The ambiance was nice and vibrant. The service was about average. The food was disappointing. We had the shrimp appetizer with so e type of sausage and it was OK. We both ordered the halibut and it was tiny. Too tiny for almost $40. The kale served with was vinegary. The side of broccolini was just OK. The creme brulee was average. Our cocktail was OK but left an aftertaste. Overall, there was nothing that made us want to return here.

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 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.

This place is one I can finally check off my list and it did not disappoint! The restaurant was spacious and a great place to meet and catch up with friends. Service was attentive and on point.

We came for brunch. They really good options on their menu.
Chicken and waffles- amazing!! The chicken wasn’t standout but still good. But the cornmeal waffles were delicious! I would’ve been ok with just the waffles.
Breakfast sandwich with prosciutto was flavorful. And also a nice option.

I would definitely return. Make a reservation because this place fills up.

Food was bomb. We ate our plates so fast . All three of my friends loved their meals too.
One friend ordered the chicken and waffles—drum and thigh fried to absolute perfection—and the waffle was made with cornbread… so good!!! I had the Pembroke Benedict with my eggs fried hard, jumbo crab on top, and a side salad. It was super filling—I didn’t eat again until dinner, and even then I wasn’t really hungry.
Another friend ordered the French toast and the jumbo cinnamon roll, which went around the whole table and got completely crushed . My girlfriend had the smash burger, and I have to say those breakfast potatoes wrapped with bacon were cooked with love—not too crispy, not burnt, not too soft—crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. Restaurants usually mess that up, but they nailed it.
Just look at the picture—everything was glistening, and our stomachs were FULL. This is definitely about to be our favorite brunch spot in the city!!

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!!
