All pastries are tasty. For hot items what especially surprised me was the steak & egg slider -- the fried egg inside was perfectly cooked (medium-well). Omlette and waffels are freshly made too. Top-tier breakfast in the States for the price level.

This restaurant is located inside the Grand Hyatt. I have to state this had to be the best breakfast buffet that I've ever experienced. So many options: Cereals, fresh fruit, bagels and breads, yogurts, hot foods: scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes and other hot food items. On top of all of that they had a chef that would make any omelet that you wanted! They also had avocado toast! They are a little pricy, but it was definitely worth it. Staff was friendly, they also had outside seating if you wanted to dine outside. Plenty of room in this restaurant.

Food was great & all seemed very fresh but too pricey! $35. It was rainy due to tropical storm Hilary so opted to eat at the hotel, but charged with tax, tip for 2 at $85 is just too much especially for a breakfast!

Great selection of food everyday. Buffet is priced around $33ish but is waived for World of Hyatt Globalist like us. I am not here to give a review of the food but more of the crew at the breakfast buffet. The staff here at Seaview restaurant were very professional, kind, friendly, and accomodating. Special mention to Sammy who is exemplary. I wanted him to know that his commitment to his job and putting his best self everyday to work never goes unnoticed. At first I thought he was just being very friendly to us because we are globalists but as we dined there every day, I realized he is truly such a sincere person and treats everyone the way he treats us. Hyatt needs to clone more Sammys. He is that good! I can tell that he truly loves his job. My family and I appreciate him a lot. I would also like to mention Santee at the Omelette area who is very nice. She has a happy and friendly personality as well. My 3-year old son loves her so much and she makes very good omelette for him. Nancy at the front greets us every morning and the female manager makes sure everything is going well in the restaurant. Overall, the rest of the staff are just amazing. They knew our preferences as to where we wanted to be seated with my family everyday, what drink my son wants every morning, etc. I just love the Seaview buffet and look forward to be there every morning during our stay. Thank you so much for such great customer service.

The breakfast buffet was plentiful and the food was good. It is on par with any good breakfast buffet at a luxury hotel, in my opinion. The servers were friendly and flexible, letting us pick the tables we wanted.
However, it was a lite crowded, since there was a bowl game and one of the teams stayed at the Hyatt and it was raining on and off the whole time we were there so outdoor seating was unavailable.
We did find out through observation that they had to go boxes that people can have if they didn't want to eat inside. This option was not listed anywhere, so make sure you ask the greeter if this is an option you prefer.
The big downside was the bill- management tacked on an extra 5% to offset a rise in minimum wage. In my opinion, they are lucky to have these employees and it's shameful they're so petty about an extra 80 cents they've added to my bill. Pay your people what their worth! They're worth it!

The staff really made me feel special. I am a travel professional and I was born in Las Vegas. I worked in hospitality all my life , but I don't ask for special attention. I know how hard it is to serve. Your staff are #1 and I will be back just to enjoy what a real hotel should be. Your food was wonderful. Your choices are wonderful. Your staff is wonderful.

This class act group of restaurant and hotel management with full security patrol had this happen , no one ever called paramedics as this walking zombie patient who needed to be committed to a psychiatric hospital stood half naked (half as in he was half clothed with a sweater well above the waist line..) .
I like my cheesecake with a bit of salty carmel.

My hotel package included the grand breakfast buffet for the two days I was there. I was pleasantly surprised at the beautifully laid out fruit and pastries. Also included were smoked salmon, salumi and prosciutto. Around the corner were chafing dishes with bacon, breakfast potatoes, sausage, scrambled eggs, and pancakes.
We tried a couple of their specials like the chorizo benedict. The chorizo was full of flavor and wasn't greasy. This morning we took a taste of the short rib and grits and were rewarded both creamy grits and fork-tender short ribs with a delicious sauce.
A chef is there to prepare items like waffles and omelettes made-to-order. She accommodated my wife by preparing a bacon waffle. It was served with soft butter and real maple syrup and was quite fluffy. The day before she made a delicious omelet filled with spinach, jack cheese, peppers, tomatoes, and onions.
Our server, Serawit, treated us like royalty. He enticed us with the peach mimosa (which was beautifully poured for maximum presentation). He made sure that we were well attended to and even offered us special items like his famous hot chocolate. Needless to say, it was decadent and topped with delicious whipped cream. If you see him, make sure you ask for it!
Even if you don't stay at this hotel, I highly recommend you try this breakfast buffet. I've seen other places charge far more for less variety and reduced customer service.

The buffet looks huge but it is mostly filled with mediocre offerings. We opted for the continental breakfast buffet for $21 each. the hot buffet with eggs and bacon cost more. there is some fresh fruit but there is also canned fruit. Canned fruit at a pricey buffet? also a lot of high sugar fruit loop type cereals, very ordinary bagels, and pastries of low distinction. Not recommended.

Expensive if you’re not going to fill up whilst eating but we had a day full of water sports when we ate breakfast here so it was a great start to the day to fill us up. The chef was really helpful when making omelets and the other staff were very attentive.

The view is nothing to write about which is why it might be so expensive. It is not open the whole day and when we went there we found you had to have the buffet or eat large portions of food, there was no coffee and a pastry or coffee and a bowl of oatmeal..

Not a lot of options inside the hotel. Nice buffet selection, has all the good stuff from fruit, omelets made to order, pastry etc. Dining room is large and servers were good with beverages. Overeating at it's finest for breakfast. With coffee and tip the bill was $70 for 2! Yes it was good, but ridiculous for breakfast. My suggestion is to make the effort and go outside the hotel and eat for a semi reasonable cost.

I run several events at the Hyatt so I eat here on a somewhat regular basis. It is a tad pricey for a buffet but the food is fairly good for a buffet. The scrambled eggs on the buffet are actually hot and cooked properly as is the bacon. The pastries can be dry.
