Default Brunch Buffet in TV???

We are considering having a BRUNCH BUFFET at a local restaurant in/near TV. For a special occasion of ours.

For about 15 people, preferably with a room to hold the group.

Hopefully for a Sunday early afternoon brunch. We feel it would be nice for everyone to choose their own items in a buffet, and hopefully with non-outrageous drink prices...

Would appreciate thoughts.

You need to spell out cost in budget, and what you consider as non-outrageous drink prices. Are you looking for top shelf perfectly made drinks. Or well drinks with water down mimosas. To fit budget. Will it be separate checks or paid one check.

We usually order bottles of wine at a gathering. A good bottle of wine @$30-60 will serve 4-6 people.

You may want to call some of the country club restaurants in the Villages to see if they still have buffet brunches .

Yes! We went there for a special event/lunch last year. Very nice. Did not know the Sunday Brunch...

This certainly appears to be a great choice for us. Will definitely check it all out.

Thanks so much for the tip.

Look into Prima Italian Steakhouse in Brownwood for their brunch with excellent Bloody Mary buffet.

Red Sauce has a good Brunch with a carving station, made to order omelettes and dessert, I think they do an early bird special, and have a Bloody Mary/ Mamosa special. It ends a 1 though

Default Try Palmer

The Palmer Country Club has a nice brunch menu. They also have a very nice private room that may be available. We had a small function there and the experience was excellent.

Ichiban continues to have health inspection violations, lots due to improper food temps (because of so many food trays to maintain), filthy areas, and have been shut down at least twice. Think if you want to chance your stomach health because of price and (lack of) cleanliness standards. Check the restaurant inspection database before going to a new restaurant.

As I mentioned, looking for a BRUNCH BUFFET, nor simply Brunch. Rather than having our guests browse a menu, and wait for service etc, thought a nice BUFFET would be the best.

We plan to check out the Harbor Hills Sunday Buffet. And like the idea of Mimosas or Champagne too. This may check off our needs.
