We would prefer a buffet brunch, but do not want to pay over $50/per. Would love to be by the marina or the beach. Do not need champagne included. Any recommendations will be appreciated!

I'll try and get in touch with tomarkot...I think they have stayed in those areas. Maybe they have an idea. I know there are some westsiders on the board who can probably help.

Can you extend the search area to Malibu? Look at Duke's, Geoffrey's, Moonshadows... maybe Mastro's.

Or one of the hotels on the beach in SM. Shutters, Casa del Mar... maybe Water Grill. For me, anything with an ocean view.

Jean, I'lll second Duke's (although we've been to the one in Huntington Beach...I imagine it is the same). We've been there often for brunch.

MoBro

Yes, we could go to Malibu. I'll check out those locations. Thanks!

I called Duke's and was lucky to get a reservation for 4. They are almost all booked up already. Good thing I thought about this today.
The on-line brunch buffet menu looks perfect, and they add some extra dishes for Easter Sunday. It's $39/per, so it will be perfect!
I knew Fodorites would come through! Especially MaiTaiTom.
Thanks, y'all!
Happy Easter!

Nope...this was Jean's idea...I only piled on

Now, just cross your fingers for a clear, sunny day....

Thanks, Jean!

Reporting back. We enjoyed our brunch. The restaurant was still full at 1:45, with fresh food kept on the buffet tables. I was surprised, with the size of the restaurant, that just one buffet was set up, but it wasn't too crowded. Food was great. Service was great. Price was reasonable. Views outstanding. Really glad we went.
