What To Do In Port Jeff: #96 – Have a Lazy Sunday Brunch by the Water

A relaxing Sunday brunch with the family may as well be a Long Island tradition, and you can honor that tradition right here in Port Jefferson.

The village's own waterfront hotel, Danford's, may already have a reputation as a classy getaway spot and a , but the Sunday brunch at its WAVE Restaurant is also noteworthy enough to land it a spot on our list of "100 Things to Do in Port Jefferson."

You can expect all the staples of an elegant buffet brunch: french toast and bacon, assorted breads and pastries, fruits and cheeses, an omelette chef, a carving station, seafood selections and more. WAVE Restaurant's offerings also include a chocolate fountain and decorative touches like ice sculptures. You can order a mimosa, bloody Mary or champagne, but you can only get a Bellini when the weather is warm. And we dare you to make fewer than three trips to the buffet.

The backdrop to your conversation – at least when the cold weather has emptied the Danford's marina – is the Long Island Sound, visible from most seats in the restaurant.

Brunch at WAVE will run you $29.95 per adult, but if you're looking to spend a little less, across the street also offers a year-round Sunday brunch for $19.95 per person.
