632260 Sun Jun 28 07:28:56 -0700 2009 13 8 Midwest 0 4812547 Looking for a good brunch place for a medium size group on a Sunday. We'd prefer to stay in the northland and we've got 2 small kids. I'm familiar with the Granite city brunch and actually like it - but a member of our party doesn't like their food. Has anyone done the brunch at Tomfooleries? They've changed the menu for the Northland location it looks like - are they family friendly? Thanks! Sun Jun 28 07:28:57 -0700 2009 1089214 bethany1023 1 4812728 i don't know much about the northland but know people like the brunch at Tomfooleries on the Plaza. I can personally recommend Grand Street Cafe just east of the Plaza. They have a kids menu. Brunch was really good a few weeks ago there. you order off of a menu but then there's a small buffet while you wait for your food. eggs benedict, yum. Sun Jun 28 08:50:41 -0700 2009 4812547 141043 jdl98 2 4823217 Tomfooleries is family friendly, but the brunch is mediocre. Nick and Jake's (Hwy 9 and 45 in Parkville) does a nice brunch buffet. If you want to order off a menu instead of a buffett, Mimi's food is pretty good (it's next to Granite City at Zona Rosa).

Thu Jul 02 08:39:48 -0700 2009 4812547 1090317 hexum311 1 4824938 You might also consider the Cafe at Briarcliff. I've had breakfast there once or twice, but I think they also do lunch/dinner. http://www.thecafeatbriarcliff.com/ Thu Jul 02 11:42:44 -0700 2009 4812547 14230 heatherkay 1 4853499 Thanks so much to the person who reccomended the Cafe at Briarcliff. They do a fantastic brunch, and really took great care if my toddler who had had a long weekend with the grandparents and did not feel like sitting in a nice restaurant for brunch. I HIGHLY recommend these guys - the food was great and the service, excellent. Mon Jul 13 08:26:19 -0700 2009 4812547 1089214 bethany1023 1 4878946 Another great brunch locale is Cafe Bistro?? Is that the name? They sit at 63rd and Wornall (or Brookside) and they have a wonderful brunch for something like $10. and everyone orders something off the menu but then have a splendid open brunch to fill in their food...and it's something else again. We take people there all the time and they are always so pleased. Tue Jul 21 17:55:22 -0700 2009 4812547 190233 sara722003 2 4885844 Do you mean Avenues Bistro? It is a nice brunch; the buffet part is rather European with the cheeses and meats. Thu Jul 23 19:33:22 -0700 2009 4878946 36230 SFLisa 3 4888710 You are correct. That is the name of the place, and they do wonderful food; I've lived for several years in Paris (30 years ago) and this place reminds me of the Bistros back then. Fri Jul 24 18:43:52 -0700 2009 4885844 190233 sara722003 1 4885945 My husband and I love going to the Northland and eating at Em Chamas. it is a Brazilian Steakhouse and you cane make reservations on Open Table. If you google it you can learn about it if you have never heard of one, but we LOVE them, and this one has GREAT food.

I hope that doesn't happen to anyone else, because it really disappointed. I will try them again at brunch, but it did surprise me since they have such a great reputation.
