Wow! Now I’m REALLY glad I didn’t go. At least the company was good. And those desserts look nommy. But, yeah, will def cross the Casa del Mar brunch off my list.

SNAP! I can’t believe there was a such a wait or that charge for 3 bottles of water. I would have packed some extra desserts in my purse to go.

Another awesome review! And yes, I agree: thumbs down to pissy attitude, tomato butts, cold “warm” chips, and that whole flat water fiasco.

Thanks for this post. I’ve been considering taking friends to this brunch for a while now. Looks like I’ll have to give it even more thought now!

I really <3 happy accidents. I just wrote a post about eating Sunday brunch in since going out for an inspiring brunch is such a gamble nowadays. It seems Casa del Mar gambled on the house and it lost. Your recap was enriching tho and I’m glad the desserts were at least tasty. If you have a moment, maybe you might want to check out my post about brunching in-Cheers! http://laptopsandstovetops.blogspot.com/2009/11/finding-sunday-brunch-balance.html

yikes, not a great experience at all! I can’t believe they gave you the butt of the tomato LOL i dont even use those at home (which could be seen as wasteful) but really, it’s not just about presentation, there’s no “meat” there?! And the water, I love your slogan Casa del Mar: Where booze is free, but water costs $9 a bottle, you should send that to their marketing people

You’re totally right. The food was pretty average and we waited for awhile on the other side of the room too. One of the longer brunch I’ve been to…at least for the all you can drink prosecco. $9 for Evian, yikes! I guess we got tap when we asked for water
