Just got home a little while ago from brunch. We had a 1055 reservation and arrived about 1030. First I want to note that the guy at the podium ahead of me was seeing if he could do a walk in with 5 adults and a few kids. They said sure no problem. They ended up near us shortly after we got seated, which was right when we got there. I was surprised at the walk in availability- and even during the meal not every table was full.
We did not get a tour preview of the buffet from our server, just a description of what was available. It also listed everything from the buffet on the menu we were given. There were probably 10 entrees to choose from. Server brought each of us a press pot coffee which was left on the table. A nice touch. My DH ordered the shakshuka. I ordered half portions of the eggs benedict with lobster, the french toast, and the Korean fried chicken. The eggs benny was one half muffin with a thin slice of ham, nice sauce and a decent size (few inches ) piece of lobster. The chicken was a very large really crispy chicken breast, with a nice amount of home made kimchee. I asked for the sauce on the side, which they brought along with a little pitcher of the syrup for the french toast. I was surprised at the size of the chicken if that was a half portion. Same can be said for the french toast. Pics were too big to upload of those. The shakshuka with house made pita (you can see how fluffy it was) was a small portion with one egg. I thought that was a half size even tho he ordered the full. Anyway, each things was quite good. The biggest let down tho not by much was the eggs benny. Just so so with a piece of lobster with it.
Also had: deviled egg, quite nice, sushi- as always at CG absolutely fresh. Loved the shrimp tempura with mango. Had a greek yogurt with thyme strawberries and honey comb. That was very refreshing, and loved the honey, tho not sure what to do with the comb- didnt seem like you should eat it whole. Husb had soba noodles, cold salad, which he really enjoyed, and the strawberry parfait, which he also enjoyed but I thought tasted weird. Boxed the desserts to go. Was disappointed in no madeleines, but they aren't doing them any more. Bummer! Mimosas were refilled to order- I thought it was really strong, tho I don't drink so...
Glad we went, enjoyed the atmosphere, music, food, went out on the balconies for pictures. Weren't rushed, were there about 2 hours. But I won't spend the money again.
