I believe 10:30 or 11.

Shabbos morning there was herring, salads (all types), lasagna, a few different Quiche trays and Kugel - in addition to the usual breads, bakery goods and hot water/coffee.

Best things are the fresh to order. French toast, pancakes, eggs benedict, etc.

French toast is amazing and poached eggs on whole wheat toast fantastic too!

Does anyone know who actually runs the services within the hotel?  Is there a Rabbi that works for WAJ taking care of the minyanim, I guess acting like a Gabbai at a regular shul?  Some of you guys seem to know management and the inner-workings of the hotel really well and I was just curious as to how it worked.
