Easter Brunch
Dear US Grant,
Sometimes life moves so quickly one can forget to make plans for the holidays. I have never been one to go out for a special family meal. I always like preparing for a family gathering weeks ahead of time. The menu, linens, shopping and getting the house clean. This year is different, and time to try something new.
This year for Easter I decided I would take my mom and daughter to a Sunday Brunch. After looking at many different popular restaurants and hotels menu's my daughter Michaela and I choose the US Grant. Who could resist wanting to see how the multi million restoration of this historic hotel. This is after all a symbol of our past in San Diego. We thought is was a perfect fit for a holiday family gathering. The menu was exquisite, with a meat station, seafood station, salad/fruit/cheese station, omelet station, desert station, and lets not forget the free flowing mimosas.
You know the saying, "you never get a second chance to make a great first impression"? For the US Grant your experience starts the minute the valet open your car door. We were greeted quickly, warmly, and shown where to go. Once inside you could hear live music that drew you in to set the tone of the day. We were lucky and sat just outside the Palm Court amongst the original crystal chandeliers where one could only imagine the people who graced this beautiful hotel many years ago. We took a few sips of our mimosas and went to survey the food. This by itself was a treat. Each dish was beautifully displayed, and it was hard to pick where to go first. It was impossible to eat it all. The staff was very attentive and never rushed to take your plate. When you got up to try a new dish you returned to a clean table and your glass was refilled. The brunch was one of the best we have ever had here in San Diego.
All of these things from the first impression, service, food, and ambience make this a new memorable occasion for my family. We enjoyed ourselves talking about family travels, friends, school, and got lost in the moment. I will now recommend the US Grant for every family gathering. The calendar is already waiting for us.
Thank you to everyone at the US Grant who make this a memorable experience for me. Hats off to a great organization and staff.
