Ritz-Carlton Hotel
San Francisco, California
Thanksgiving weekend was also special because it was my niece's first birthday. Happy birthday !!!
Brunch at the Ritz was actually a very festive affair. The dining area and the service is a bit formal, but it does add a nice luxurious touch to the occasion. The brunch is part buffet, but you also get to order your main dish.
Brunch menu.
The buffet section includes bacon and sausage, home fries (very good---light and crispy), an omelette station, some fresh fruits, and pasty/sweets. All arranged very temptingly. The brunch comes with a complimentary glass of champagne, mimosa or kir royale. I had the kir-- nothing like it to start your Sunday!
Brother D's pickin's from the buffet station: omelet, sausage and bacon, croissant. Fresh squeezed oj was available too.
Brother D ordered pancakes with fruit.
Lobster omelette with American caviar (paddlefish?) and home fries. The lobster was sweet and tender. Their home fries are crisp all over, and very light and perfectly seasoned. I did not like the caviar too much; it tasted like murky pondwater.
Brother F got the corned beef hash.The buffet selection was well-edited, and not as overflowing as with most other brunch buffets. Then again, there was quite some overlap with the menu selections. They were out of the smoked salmon when I checked, although it was replenished when I returned.
One of the dessert selections.
Happy birthday, B!
