The Bruch is wonderful. However, I have never been to a brunch before that didn't have some combination of toast, croissants, bagels, English muffins etc.

Our experience for the Sunday afternoon brunch was fantastic. The food was great. The drinks were great. The price was reasonable. The only thing I would change is the music, it should be in the background rather than the foreground. (The guitarist, Vince, was excellent and personable.)

I had the same server each time. He gives the impression that he is overwhelmed and pulled everywhere, and this is why he can't bring drinks in a timely fashion. This time, I stopped a different server, and she brought water and condiments he came pass us multiple times and ignored eye contact but at the end gives the bill with a gratuity for a party of 3. When asked, he came up with an outlandish story about why gratuity was automatic on such a small party. I took my receipt to the front, and it was immediately removed. I tipped the server, which was accommodating. This is the only concern I have with this establishment is this particular server diminishes the character and reputation of this establishment

The set up was a bit weird, it was where seating normally is. The live music that I was looking forward to Mr. Alvin was TBA (never showed) but there wasn't any music playing at all to create any type of ambiance. Food was mediocre, they were short staffed and it showed through the service (waitress). Games were on but no sound, our reservations was for 1230p. The omelet and waffle bar was set up separate from the rest of the food. The buffet line was on 2 different sides instead of one continuous line for easier access and flow to food. This was my second visit because my first was so amazing, but it's definitely my last.
