A Brunch That Actually Feels Like an Occasion
Instead of squeezing into a packed dining room, guests are welcomed into a spacious setting with seating throughout the Ballroom, Campbell Room, Vail Room, and Harmony Suite.
That means:
- more room to move
- more comfortable seating
- and a pace that feels relaxed instead of rushed
It’s the kind of setup that makes it easy to actually enjoy time with family, which is kind of the whole point.
Let’s Talk About the Food (Because It’s a Lot)
This isn’t a “pick one entrée and call it a day” type of brunch.
This year’s menu features 40+ selections, combining chef-attended stations, brunch classics, and globally inspired dishes that give everyone at the table options.
Some highlights include:
- Raw bar with oysters and colossal shrimp
- Prime rib carved to order with au jus and horseradish cream
- Korean-inspired beef kalbi and Mediterranean branzino
- Brioche French toast bites and Nueske candied bacon
- Charcuterie boards and fresh seasonal fruit displays
- Shakshuka and coconut chia pudding
- A full sweets table and Bananas Foster chef station
And yes... bottomless mimosas are part of the experience.

Chef Stations + Interactive Experience
A big part of what sets this brunch apart is the live element.
Guests can enjoy:
- Made-to-order omelets
- A waffle station with full toppings
- Prime rib carving station
- Bananas Foster prepared fresh
It’s not just a buffet, it’s something you move through, explore, and come back to (more than once).
Built for Families (Not Just Couples)
Whether it’s a table for four or a full family gathering, this setup works.
There’s a wide range of options for all ages, including kid-friendly favorites and crowd-pleasers like Corky’s fried chicken, making it easy to keep everyone happy without overthinking it.
Seating Details (What to Know Before Booking)
Seatings are available every half hour from 10:00 AM to 2:30 PM.
When you book:
- Your ticket secures your reservation

Translation: waiting usually means fewer options.
A Better Way to Do Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day doesn’t have to mean packed restaurants, limited menus, and feeling rushed out the door.
This is a more relaxed, more flexible, and honestly more enjoyable way to celebrate — with great food, space to breathe, and time to actually sit and enjoy it.
