BOUGIE BRUNCH BUFFET DONEEEEE SOOOO DAMN RIGHT.
After a few delish brunch experiences, I've got to say - the SUNDAY BRUNCH BUFFET is def. my FAVE mealtime here. For $125 per person I would say the options and variety is well worth it. It does get very busy and I've always made reservations, so wouldn't suggest otherwise. Now with the BRUNCH BUFFET there are a few important pointers...(1) Come hungryyyy and (2) Come knowing what will be served.
DRINKS ofc are not part of the buffet - but they do offer a comp. glass of champagne when you enter. In addition to that - I would highly suggest ordering the espresso martini - it's a bit bitter/dark, but strong and perfectly boozy at the same time.
Let's Dig In:
UNLIMITED CAVIAR isssss insane. But they do it here & it's literally the main reason my in-laws & I keep coming back. Given Caviar for dinner anywhere is usually $200/oz - you can just come here for brunch an indulge to your heart's content (++ all the yummy fix-ins - chives, crème fraiche, egg yolk, etc).
RAW SEAFOOD on deck - so many tasty options of raw seafood - octopus ceviche, Hamachi crudo, scallop, poke, tuna nori taco, salmon mousse, juicy shrimp cocktail, raw oysters...all served in the perf bite size form. TRUST that I always eat over 6 alone in shrimp and oysters.
CHARCUTERIE - I usually only dabble in this area due to all the other goods, but there is a great variety of fresh cheese, cured meats, crackers, biscuits, etc. Their spicy salami is def one of my faves.
SALAD & VEGGIES - surprisingly delightful - the salads are delish either it be their classic Caesar, iceberg salad, shrimp Louie, or tomato medley. There is also a variety of small veggies apps, gazpachos, & a delish deviled egg that is a must.
HOT FOODS - After hitting all the tables in the dining room, make your way into the kitchen for the main courses. (1) PRIME RIB sliced to order is a must + with their horseradish cream, au jus, or fresh chimchurri sauce. (2) Beef Wellington, also sliced to order is another must with its flaky pastry and tender/flavorful meat. Besides that - there are a large variety of other meat, veggie, and carb dishes with some of my faves being: mussels, egg in a baguette, mushroom raclette, roasted zucchinis, & spicy potatoes. There is also a more classic bfast area with eggs, sausages, bacon that I usually don't frequent, a daily soup which has been a tasty clam chowder and creamy broccoli cheddar soup + a mini bread/pastry area as well.
IMPORTANT NOTE - unfortunately they DO NOT HAVE any of their famous pastas for BRUNCH, given it's not really a brunch type of dish - it's totally understandable. BUT def. sad, since their PASTAS are to die for & prob. the only reason I'd come back for dinner (instead of this Brunch Buffet).
DESSERT BAR - at the end, after all that yummy food (and usually another round of raw seafood for me ;)...make your way to the bar area for the cutest, mini, desserts. Def get all flavors of the gelato (mango, vanilla, and chocolate) + a few other faves of mine are the Chocolate ganache bar & blue berry cheesecake as well. They also have these little Italian candies to grab & go - where I usually opt for a handful of the pastilles, which are these yummy little hard fruit chews.
