| - We went for Sunday brunch today. As usual, the ambience is beautiful. It is gorgeous and open and colorful and welcoming. The area is just gorgeous. This restaurant is located at the base of escalators from the main floor down to the floor below which boasts both SW steakhouse and Lakeside. Lakeside faces a gorgeous waterfall with beautiful lush trees all around.
The brunch today was $79 per person without alcohol included.
There were a few items that you could order off the menu, which were part of the brunch and came from the kitchen. These included lemon blueberry ricotta pancakes, chilled pea soup with crab, sliders, fried chicken and mochi waffles, and avocado toast that was outstanding.
There was a station for bagels and bread and different morning pastries as well as cream cheeses and lox. Another station was an omelette station where you also already had prepared scrambled eggs, chicken apple sausage, bacon, and more. The egg white omelette they made for me was outstanding. The next station had a lot of different cuts of meat and different choices of warm food. Another station featured a large boat full of seafood. The king crab legs were massive and delicious. The shrimp was huge but I cannot say that I was crazy about it. It had ceviche and oysters and all kinds of different seafood. The dessert station was very nice. There was a carrot cake and a dark rich chocolate cake, little pecan pies as well as little strawberry rhubarb pies and blueberry pies. They were macaroons and cookies and marshmallows and several other dessert type confections available.
The coffee was very good and included. We were there for about two hours and all of it was absolutely delicious.
Service was lovely and we had great people helping us. We sat outside which was absolutely gorgeous.
We would easily come out here again and absolutely loved it. The reason for four stars is because I felt that the dessert bar was somewhat limited. Despite many small choices, the chocolate cake was way too rich and I am not a fan of carrot cake. The shrimp was disappointing and I love shrimp so I thought it was just me but nobody at my table was crazy about the shrimp. Otherwise, we liked it and we would go back.
