Looked lovely, but.....

"We were extremely pleased when we received the silverware set, the look is classic and the pieces are heavy, everything we were looking for in a set. However, after about a month the knife blades began to rust. After closer inspection, there is a clear delineation between the handle and the blade and the description on the handle reads '18/10 handle'. What a disappointment. The rest of the set seems to be weathering fine but I'm sending the whole set back, including the hostess set and steak knives I purchased, all because they tried to save a buck."

Beautiful, Classic Flatware

"I have been saving for a while in order to buy this flatware! I was looking for a simple yet heavy set of flatware that will stand the test of time. This is it! The pieces feel so nice and heavy in your hand. The look is classic and simple. Lovely!"

Love this flatware!

"My husband & I registered for this pattern for our wedding and we're thrilled with it. We love how heavy and durable it is. And the design is understated and elegant without feeling overly traditional. It's excellent flatware that I would highly recommend to anyone!"

Perfect Set!

"I have been looking for a set of silverware for years that is elegant, yet functional. This set is perfect! The beading along the edge makes each piece look polished and sophisticated. The quality is excellent and is easily cleaned. I am so happy with my purchase!"

Love this flatware!

"We registered for this flatware for our wedding over 3 years ago; I love the classic look, and it has held up so well. The design is understated, so it can be paired with any dishes and not look out of place. We run it through the dishwasher constantly and haven't had any issues. The weight of it feels substantial - not like the cheap flatware that you can buy in a giant box at discount stores. This is made to last!"

"We put these on our wedding registry and it has only been 3 months and the all of the knives have watermarks on the blade, some of them have begun to rust. On the knife is says Stainless Steel Handle, so I assume that means that the blade isnt SS. We wash them in the dishwasher, and heat dry, we dont leave them in there too terribly long so I dont know why its happened. That being said, all the other utensils are great!! It's dissapointing especially because theyre Reed & Barton, which always makes great stuff."

Beautiful ~~ love it.

"I recently bought 12 place settings plus extra spoons. Love the look, weight, and feel of this flatware. Have received several compliments, especially from male friends. They always notice the weight of the pieces. I just set the table for Thanksgiving dinner, and although I also have Silver Plate and Sterling Silver, I chose to use this Stainless. First of all it's beautiful on the table, but I can also put it n the dishwasher when we clean up after dinner. Chosing this flatware was one of the best decisions I've ever made."

Elegance everyday

"I just bought this stainless after using my wedding stainless for 30 years! It has a wonderful weight and the prong size on the fork is perfect. The soup spoon is not too big, as some others are. I bought an extra 6 spoons as we use spoons most. I would highly recommend this stainless. I am thrilled with it!!!"

Great Choice

"We got Grand Hotel II flatware when we gave our old set to our son for his new apartment. Couldn't be happier with our choice! It has a great look and feel and I happen to like the size of the pieces which are a little larger than our old ones. I recommend also getting the matching steak knives."

Beautiful flatware!

"I have had the Grand Hotel II flatware set for almost two years. It is a great weight and still looks brand new. It pairs well with both my Staccato dishware and my Waterford fine china.
When I registered, I also considered the Lenox Vintage Jewel pattern and the Waterford Russborough patterns, both similar beaded patterns. I ultimately picked this pattern because of the price and accessibility. I am happy with my choice.
If you are registering for flatware, I recommend registering for extra serving spoons."

Pleased as a Bride

"After 35 years of marriage, we decided our silver flatware (and all the polishing involved) was due for a change. Probably not your "usual" customer profile. The Grand Hotel pattern is substantial in its feel and goes in the dishwasher coming out gleaming as it did out of the box.
There are lots of shiny stainless steel flatware choices out there. If you are looking for flatware for a lifetime, buy 18/10 content like Grand Hotel.
Thank you.

Old Pattern Found

"I have searched the internet trying to locate a Reed and Barton pattern that matches my sister-in-law's stainless pattern. I could not find it anywhere! Then I saw this pattern in your catalog and ordered it. It is a Reed and Barton pattern and it matches although the pieces are slightly larger. I hope my sister-in-law will be able to use it. The mirror finish is beautiful. It does not look like stainless!"

Lovely

"We received 12 place settings of this pattern, along with the serving pieces, as a wedding gift, and good not be happier! The pattern is elegant enough for everyday or special occasion. The size and weight of the pieces tell their quality, my husband was pleasantly surprised at the comparison to our old flatware. Washes beautifully in the dishwasher...we will certainly enjoy these for years to come."

Beautiful and Classic Flatware

"We wanted a classic pattern that would not go out of style or look too trendy and this fit the bill! The pieces are beautiful and subtantial in weight and the pattern will go with everything from casual brunch to a nice dinner party. We are very happy with our choice!"
