I had what I consider to be the most wonderful brunch of my life yesterday when I was treated to the brunch at the Seelbach's Oak Room. First off, the atmosphere is first rate. What a beautiful setting with the lovely piano music, fine detail and exquisite decor.
The food was, in a word, EXCELLENT. The choices were vast, the quality was top notch, and the flavors were well planned and varied.
Of note was the impressive ice sculpture which house a huge selection of jumbo shrimp (I could have just stayed there and been very happy) and oysters on the half shell, along with oyster shooters, and a delecious smoked salmon.
The usual breakfast fare of biscuits, eggs, bacon and sausage was present, and very tasty as well.
There were treats for the more unusal tastebuds, including sushi, a very interesting and very good salsa and chips, wonderful cheeses and a vast array of other goodies.
The omlette and waffle station was fully stocked, but alas when I got to that stage of the game, I was almost too full to consider it.
There were additionally entrees' and vegetables (of which I did sample a few, that were all grand).
But dessert was the best. They had a Lemon Cake on hand that was probably the best that I've had in years. Very moist, very flavorful, and a wonderful ending to a fabulous meal.
One complaint however, what ever happened the dress code......this is the Oak Room people. At least wear slacks and a decent shirt. Shorts and Sandals are for the beach!
