We love a good brunch! I have friends who are self-proclaimed “competitive brunchers” who keep a score card of places they have been and rate them. They then compare their scores. I think it is funny, but I am not on that text thread. As a person with an egg allergy, some of the fun is lost on me but I never met a carb I didn’t like. Bring on the syrup, please! What I love most about a good brunch is that it is social. It’s not early, you get to sleep in, and usually you’re meeting friends, drinks are involved, and, if you are me, there is a long nap at the end. Do you ever nap so long you wake up and it is time for dinner?…

With a glitzy central bar, crisp linen-draped tables, plush booths, contemporary chandeliers, and an elevated grand piano, it’s old school made anew. The waitstaff dress in complementary garb: white jackets, black pants, and red bow ties. Revel in the swanky ambiance, while dining on delectable surf (and turf !) preparations, presented and served with panache. The elegant restaurant emerged from humble beginnings almost a century ago.
