Went for the brunch buffet which is only on Sundays starting at 12pm. Service was amazing, they showed us around and introduced us to the chefs before we got our food. You can go into the kitchen to look around and speak. The carving station and dessert bar are actually located in the kitchen since the restaurant seating area isn't too big. They spaced each table out very well and each table regardless of where you sit will have a view of the park. Highly recommend the beef wellington and pork rib! 10/10 experience, will definitely be going back with more people.As of April 2024, the Sunday brunch buffet is $125 pp, not including tip and tax (about $165 including)Parking: $26 valet if you dine at the restaurant.

Absolutely incredible experience dining here. The service was top tier. Our server John was knowledgeable, friendly, and not overbearing. He was spot on with every single suggestion, explanation, and his level of expertise about each dish he served. Their “wine expert”Daniel took his time to explain the wine/champagne list and several pairings which went well with the menu. He was also spot on, friendly, knowledgeable, and just a lovely presence at the restaurant. They are lucky to have John and Daniel.We were sat in a private room which was elegant, beautiful, and polished. The ambiance left little to be desired. We were celebrating several things that particular evening, and were taken care of at the end with a special dessert to acknowledge said things. It was very sweet and thoughtful. The entire staff truly went above and beyond for us. Food was wonderful. Must try the risotto- melt in your mouth deliciousness. Lastly, do not skip on dessert- some of the best desserts we’ve ever had.Dietary restrictions: The server John was on top of any allergy restrictions and asked us after our beverages were delivered to the table. You can tell they have a strict policy for food allergy safety.Parking: Valet was quick, efficient, and simple.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramps for accessibility and elevator to easily make it up the stairs and into the beautiful restaurant.

The food was absolutely amazing. Delicate and nuanced. Blown away! My only critique would be that the ribeye entree seemed out of place due to its sheer size and hefty flavor. Drinks were delicious and Jon our server was top-notch and a pleasure.

My wife and I went for dinner and had a great time. The food is tasty, the service is great, and the atmosphere is on point. The only downside is portion size, however quality of the food, along with rarity of the dishes on the menu makes Lacroix stand out.
In 2024, I went to their $125/per person buffet they have every Sunday until 2pm. I don’t recommend it. Very few entree stations in my opinion and the appetizers are not up to par for $125 per person whatsoever. When I was there, I saw 2 small carving stations. I also saw some some shellfish and sashimi but very few in my opinion. They also ask you to come all the way into the kitchen to be served there for carving stations and very few dessert stations in my opinion. I have been to many fine dining buffets in my life and you can read my reviews. This used to be a big treat at LaCroix before Covid. Now in 2024 to pay $500 for 4 people I would not recommend this whatsoever. I believe you will be disappointed for what you get for $125 per person. I would HIGHLY recommend you look at it before you book it because they charge a deposit to reserve in advance where you have to be careful to cancel in time. Best is to look at it before you dine there, then reserve same day. Decide very carefully to entertain this.

View was not spectacular, food and presentation was mediocre, and atmosphere was ok but service was terrible for an expensive restaurant. It took a long time for our food to come, despite the restaurant not being busy during a holiday weekend brunch hour. There were 4 people who rotated through our table and only one with a smile on their face.

If I can give 0 start for how we were treated on 1.7.24, I would.I think this was the worst restaurant experience I had in my life. The staff was extremely rude, starting with the hostess. We had a reservation for a 2pm birthday brunch with my boyfriend and when we asked if we could sit at another table further away from a crowd of 8 people, we were told that “that table is not set, so you have to sit here”. There were at least 10 open tables around, so it was not busy at all and they closed at 4pm. We didn’t want to start an argument, so we just sat down. The hostess asked to take my coat and I said I just want to take something out of my pocket, which was met with “We’re not going to go through your pockets, you can keep your coat”. Then, when I asked for a spoon to stir sugar for our tea, the waiter said, “I imagine it’s hard to stir with your finger”. There were two tables, who also had a birthday and got a candle in their dessert, my boyfriend did not receive one, even though the reservation said that it was a birthday brunch. At the end, we received a confusing check that had a gratuity line and every time I asked about it, since a grand total and a total charged were different amounts, a different team member kept taking the check away and returning with a new copy. A third person told us that “we are not in the business of stealing” and “I have no control over what’s written on the check”. The food was amazing and I feel like if I’m going to spend $320 dollars for a vegan brunch, I wouldn’t receive such rude attitude on such a special day. They've completely ruined my boyfriend's birthday.

As the city of brotherly love mourns its 400th murder victim in 2023, Lacroix is a place of refuge from the influx of illegal immigrants and out of control inflation that smothers the streets. The $14 oatmeal is amazing!
