Babies in their Sunday best bopping around to live jazz, welcoming service, an array of Southern comfort food—it’s easy to see why brunch at this elegant downtown eatery is a beloved tradition. Diners pay $40.95 for an entrée plus access to a buffet piled with tender Virginia ham, biscuits and sausage gravy, Belgian waffles with pecan-maple syrup, myriad salads, and Creole-seasoned peel-and-eat shrimp. (Children ages 5 to 12 can graze the buffet for $21.95.) There’s a dessert table with a chocolate fountain plus cupcakes and peach cobbler. The offerings are so ample that many patrons take their main courses to go—don’t miss the gravy-drenched fried chicken with collards and mashed potatoes or the gumbo with spicy andouille sausage. Sunday 10 to 2:15.
