The Terrace Restaurant At The Ritz-Carlton

The Terrace Restaurant At The Ritz-Carlton just launched a new Sunday brunch this past weekend, blending buffet and à la carte selections for $55 instead of the former big buffet-jazz brunch for $78. There’s now a smaller breakfast buffet, which includes fresh breakfast pastries, seasonal fruits and berries, house-smoked salmon, build-your-own omelet station, breakfast meats, and potatoes—you then choose your main course, which includes a variety of Benedict variations, French toast, Belgian waffle, New York steak and eggs, corned beef hash, a vegetable sandwich, and more. And then there’s the dessert buffet, with a choice of assorted European-inspired desserts. There’s also the option of ordering a shared seafood platter for the table, or caviar and blini. $55 (includes a glass of sparkling wine, freshly brewed coffee or tea, choice of orange, grapefruit, or tomato juice).

Sundays (excluding special holiday brunches) from 11am–2:30pm.

• 600 Stockton St. at California, 415-773-6198.
