Omelets made to order at the Sundy House buffet
At the Sundy House Restaurant, I experienced the classiest presentation of brunch I’ve encountered in Florida, with an ever-vigilant wait staff that unobtrusively removed plates and refilled glasses. Before you dig into this elaborate Sunday feast, take the grand tour to scout your favorites with a ramble through the rooms of this historic 1902 home. A carving station and omelet station are supplemented with a seafood bar, Mediterranean bar, salad bar, fine breakfast breads and pastries, and desserts. It was tough making decisions, but I started with the eggs benedict Florentine and seared salmon with sweet onion marmalade. Pace yourself and savor the surroundings. Seating is broken into intimate groupings, scattered throughout several rooms and porches. My perch looked out over a view of the tropical gardens, the room decorated with paintings of native birds. Sunlight dappled the underside of a poinciana tree. Complimentary bloody marys or mimosas compliment your meal. “It’s like being on a cruise ship without the rocking,” said the lady at the next table, and I smiled as I excused myself for one last trip, this time to pick from homemade delights on the pastry table, including chocolate-dipped strawberries, cannoli, banana bread, and a key lime tart. Brunch is served 10:30-2 on Sundays, $53, half price for ages 6-12, under 6 free; reservations essential. Dinners are served Tue-Sun, 6-9.
