Brunch at Redsauce
 
My wife and I go to the brunch about every month or two. Before today, the last time we went,
we went on mothers day. Today we were told there had been a price increase my wife thinks the meal went up about $2.99 and now the unlimited mimosas are $5.99. Plus they cut back on some items. I love the brunch. The owner needs to raise the price as I am sure their cost has increased. The brunch is being priced out of my range except for special occasions. Looks like the golden corral for their break buffet. With inflation so high I am sure I am not the only one looking for savings

Are you more concerned about the mimosas or the food?

Florida in general has a way of chewing at our wallets through grocery stores, food service, general goods etc.

I see things are changing in tv also.

A couple years ago we had a waitress joked that no one in TV cooks anymore and she was wondering if they forgot to put kitchen in the homes.

Not anymore, I see the worm turning. :shrug:

I used the McDonalds receipt when ordering my egg McMuffin and get one free.
That program went on for over 12 years.

Now that ended with a free coffee with the receipt.

Our daughter was down for two weeks she's a cautious shopper. We shopped Pubix , WD, Walmart her observation was compared to the most expensive store in Connectict Stop &Shop comperable to Publix. Visiting a couple of Square resturants she also commented they were over priced we dined off the reservation no fast food.

Restaurants in the squares tend to be overpriced. Some serve great tasting food while others push skimpy and bland. Always hit or miss. We much prefer eating off campus. We went to Disney Springs and had a wonderful meal at Jaleo's while watching the drone show a few weeks back. Brought some Gideions Cookies home.Very enjoyable.

I cant say since the mimosas used to be included in the price. Now they are a separate price item. I understand the prices have to go up but they have priced me out of wanting to eat there as often. It is what it is.

We went often and I would eat two omelets, 30 to 40 boiled shrimp, a slice of prime rib (which is now roast beef), and a cookie.

Easy - inflation. Eggs are up like 70%. Here’s a quote
“What used to be $40 for a box of 120 eggs, we now pay over $100,”

Access Denied


I didnt even look at the price of bacon, pork, etc.

Probably doing your stomach a favor by cutting out the visit.

I understand your concern about inflation, and almost everyone is feeling it. And I agree, inflationary costs are being passed on to restaurants. But frankly, the prices you mentioned for Red Sauce brunch are a bargain! Unlimited mimosas for $5.99, that’s a low price. I would expect it to be higher than that and I think Red Sauce is being more than fair.

Villages restaurant pay the developer very high lease costs which is passed down to consumers.

Now I see why the price had to go up😳

I just moved from Mount Dora where unlimited mimosas were $15. $5.99 is a steal.

all that and the food isn't even all that good either. We stopped going after they lifted it from $20 as that was even over priced for what they offered.

Why do you blame Florida? Every state is suffering..
