      campanile and joe's would be two at which you couldn't go wrong, but not sure what expensive means... campanile certainly isn't cheap...

        Campanile brunch runs from around $12 to $17 for most everything on their menu.

          is it really that reasonable? i feel like when we were there in july, it was a more expensive venture... i'll have to ask the SO, but maybe it was because we were a group of four...

            Hi Emme. I know what you mean. I think that what happens is with drinks, (depending of course on what you drink) it makes the tab jump up to the next level. I do think their brunch is one of the best meals at Campanile (I just haven't had much luck at dinner - although I have not tried one of their special meal nights like grilled cheese, etc.).

              i agree the brunch is the best meal served. i really won't go there for dinner anymore, or at least not when i choose the restaurant.

          Joe's for sure, Anisette (although this can get pricey depending how you order), or perhaps Jin Patisserie for afternoon tea
