Moderate priced brunch

[scarlet knight]

We are going to brunch with our conservative (food-wise, not politically) parents and in-laws. We don't want to take them down financially at the Short Hills Hilton or The Manor. We enjoyed Verjus a few years ago, but it was too modern for them. Any suggestions?

Sweet Basil on Eagle Rock Avenue in West Orange has a wonderful brunch and the prices are reasonable.

According to the website, it's $24.95. But let me get this straight: that price includes both the buffet and the a la carte offerings? So you can go to the buffet as much as you want and then order the a la carte items as you desire as well? $24.95 is a little more than I would typically spend on a brunch, but considering all of the items they're offering, for the buffet alone, it seems like a good deal. Adding the a la carte menu and the unlimited mimosas, etc. would make it a bargain. Has anyone tried it? If so, how was it? I'm seriously considering going next week!

Menus available here.

Sorry, I should have picked my words better. The price is the same for both -- either the buffet or a la carte.

The Mason Jar in Mahwah is popular with people with conservative food tastes. However, if they're vegetarians, they might not like seeing the whole pig that is usually part of the feast. The buffet is $21.95 which includes one mimosa or glass of champagne, or you may order off the menu. Watch out for prices on other drinks like Bloody Marys.
