China Grill should hopefully be good :fingerscrossed:...gonna be 10 of us....so looking forward to it :) Not done a brunch for a very long time.

We went to the Toy Brunch there last year . Just a novelty really , not sure if that ones still going .

Thought China Grill was better as a non brunch venue , even then the food wasn't as good a Zuma

Yeah, should be. Haven't been fishing in a while. Hopefully the weather is nice and I can get some sun.

I used to really enjoy them years ago but the novelty wears off to be honest . There's still some good ones and the big ones are good to impress the visitors when they're here but waiting in a line for sushi and chicken tikka is lost on me a bit now.

I'd much rather go out for a bit of dinner , it keeps me away from the fat lasses with the Karama bags and Estuary accents ;)

There are plenty of brunches where the options are a la carte, or food is served to your table 'family style'. I prefer that as you actually get to see the people you have gone out with rather than losing them in a vast food hall for half of the brunch.

Both spot on, totally agree.

Interested to try the revamped brunch at Prime 68 soon as that was a firm favourite.

to be honest it was actually very good....i luv the fact the food is brought to you and is fresh (and the food was good - mainly based around seafood and so if you luv seafood/sushi you will like it)....rather than having to queue up like cattle at the various food stations....the theme was 'great gatsby' and so they had dancers with feathers and stuff and male dancers all kitted out in 'gangsta' type of suites.
Coz you are in doors and there is no daylight - you forgot the fact that it's the afternoon....once the brunch is done we all moved up stairs where they played awesome rnb, hip hop, soul etc music....so all in all got totally hammered and had a great time :thumbsup:
