gina mom: Brunch buffet here is pretty amazing. Beautiful set up all around, exquisite meats like prime rib & exotic touches like caviar & that gazpacho- totes recommended! Esp if you get a private dining room.
Pocket Sun: European style brunch table is the best! $42 per person but it's worth it. Great salmon, oysters, shrimps, caviar and prime rib. Pastries are not as good as I thought though.
