text: This past Sunday a dear friend held a very adult th birthday at the Grand Concourse Sunday Brunch buffet I have not been in this restaurant inyears It has been forever The lobby is lovely and valet is reasonably priced if you do not want to walk to a parking lot While the Sunday brunch crowd is not a particularly dressy bunch I recommend wearing something nice The Snookie look alike in hot pink sweat pants that said PINK across the bottom stuck out like a sore thumbbut that may have been in part because she was cursing like a sailor while waiting for valetcmon folks It is Sunday nnBut I digress nnWe made our way to the table and the whole room is just breathtaking The staircase leading to the room was often frequented by people having photographs taken There were several different buffets including your standard brunch items which were all delicious as well as some seafood optionsshrimp and musselssalad some pasta fresh carved meat an omelet bar an ice cream sundae bar and fresh waffles with yummy bananas foster Another delicious treat The fresh doughnuts from the doughnut machine They roll right off a little conveyor belt and you dip them in powdered or cinnamon sugarI personally opted to put some of the goo from my bananas foster on my doughnutSO heavenly nnThe only gripe I have It is a bit crowded The layout does not lend itself to easy transportation Because it is an old train station there are charming obstacles that add to the charm but take away from the ease and flow Some of this frustration comes from parents who do not know how to control their annoying children who want to tap the lobster tank you are in the middle of the road and causing traffic which is causing me anxiety but it was only mildly annoying This is unavoidable given the structure but totally worth it because of the feel of the building and the quality of the food nnOur service was fabulouswater was always filled plates were cleared promptly so you could go up for secondsthirdsthere were a few who went for fourths at our table Needless to say this fills you up for the whole day I went home and had a traditional Sunday afternoonafterlunchafterchuchnap It was glorious and I credit that to my delicious brunch
