Sunday brunch here is quite the steal! Last Sunday's early gorging was the perfect ending to a weekend in Madison. The facade of this place looks like it was taken off the beachfront. You walk in and the ambiance takes you away. They have a very intimate setting and quite the spread to boot! The place has a definite shwanky feel to it.
They serve a pretty awesome salad bar with more of those uppercrust items such as sun dried tomatoes and fancy soaked artichoke hearts. They have the usual scrambled eggs to accompany some smashing potatoes and perfectly toasted bacon - seriously, this bacon was awesome... not fatty, quite crisp and mmm-mmm good.
We were seated promptly and made our way over to the salad bar after our waitress explained to us how the system worked - we were obvious newb's. Everything at the salad bar was fresh. The gentleman serving us were dressed up like some sort of urban cowboys and delivered flank steak, sausage, sweet grilled pineapple, and ham. The food was not necessarily outstanding, but it was pretty good and endless servings of pretty good food almost guarantees that I'll be a fan.
They also offer belgian waffles. I decided to not stuff myself to the point of uncomfortable-ness... this time.... so I did not get to sample these however, they looked delish! I did get to indulge with a spicy $3 bloody mary though. I think I could have drank those all day; they so hit the spot. At the end of the day, I highly recommend the Samba brunch buffet to anyone stopping through Madison.
