| - Best. Brunch. Buffet. Of. My. Life.
Literally.
And that's saying something...I've had my fair share of brunch buffets. So often, buffets try to compensate for quality with quantity. Not so at Herringbone!
They offer the brunch buffet on Saturdays and Sundays. It's a hybrid where there are several buffet stations and then you can also order small plates (which weren't all that small) from a menu.
I spent most of my calories at the seafood station, which had chilled crab legs, lobster tail, oysters, shrimp, tuna poké, and ceviche loaded with avocado (ask for a side of chips) with a few different sauce options.
There was a carving station with a variety of meats--my favorite was the bacon wrapped pork tenderloin, which was a special. In a totally genius move, they served smoked salmon with bagel chips instead of bagels (all the flavor, less filler) and the cream cheese had salmon and herbs in it--so good.
Omelet bar looked great, but I wasn't about to waste precious stomach space on eggs.
Pre-prepared waffles and a variety of toppings (fresh berries, syrup, etc.) looked good, but I skipped them because I'm a total snob about pancake syrup...I'll only eat actual maple syrup.
I absolutely loved the veggie/salad station, which had 5-6 different prepared options, all of which were excellent. The Caesar salad was amazing. I loved having some produce to offset the vast amounts of seafood and pastries I was consuming.
The small plates we ordered were all excellent, with the exception of one. The loco moco benny was delicious, french fries (that aioli--yum yum) were great, sliders were ultra flavorful, but the absolute star was the wings. Best wings I've ever eaten. Perfectly crisp and complemented with a fantastic sweet and spicy sauce. I could eat those all day long. Next time I'll definitely skip the pancakes (orange ricotta chocolate chip). They weren't bad, but totally not worth it. They were just plain pancakes with a sprinkling of toppings. Worst part was that, despite being described as coming with "tree sap" (hip speak for maple syrup, I guess?), they were served with fake syrup. Deal breaker.
I opted to add the $35 unlimited prosecco package (it wasn't advertised but it was La Marca) and they kept a steady supply of bellinis in front of me. They also have the option to do Veuve Clicquot (more) or Moët (even more)--each package includes mimosas, bellinis, prosecco/Champagne, and/or bloody marys.
So often a decent brunch buffet falls apart at dessert--the focus is more on treats that look beautiful instead of taste good. Every single pastry we tried was great. I especially loved the chocolate dipped strawberries (hard to mess up, but nice they offer them as an option).
At $59 a person, this buffet is more than worth it!
