A Festive Feast for Every Age
Toast the season with a welcome mimosa and breakfast pastries before enjoying a three-course brunch, complete with coffee or tea. Start with Garden Peas & Chèvre or Peaches & Cream French Toast, then savor your choice of The Royal Shakshuka, Coffee-Crusted Steak & Eggs, Duck Confit & Potato Hash, or Short Rib & Cheddar Grits. For a sweet finale, choose the Dark Chocolate Sabayon “Hot Pot” or Brown Butter Pecan Bread Pudding.
Little guests have a celebration of their own! The Little Nutcracker Brunch includes a Nutcracker Sparkle welcome drink, a Winter Fruit Cup and breakfast pastry, and a choice of Toy Soldier Chicken Tenders with Three-Cheese Mac & Cheese or Clara’s Brioche French Toast. A Sugar Plum Fairy Sundae and beverage complete their holiday feast.
Character appearances run from 10 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. Please arrive promptly, especially for the noon seating. This experience includes greetings and photo opportunities, not a staged ballet performance.
Reserve through OpenTable; payment is due at the restaurant. Include all children and infants in your guest count, and note any high-chair needs or dietary restrictions. Reservations are held for 10 minutes; seating after that cannot be guaranteed.
