Saturday Brunch..Help?
I'll be in Dallas this weekend (Dec 18) for my son's college graduation and am looking for a great place to take the family and some friends for Saturday lunch/brunch after the morning ceremony. I'm a little frustrated because none of my favorite places (like The Grape) are open on Sat. for lunch/brunch. Craft looked promising but I've read a lot of negative reviews. Fearings is a bit too pricey. Would love suggestions of somewhere either with great food or a great atmosphere.

Hattie's in Oak Cliff does a terrific brunch.

And let's not forget Norma's in Oak Cliff for a great (homestyle) brunch. -

I had forgotten to check Taverna...that may be a good option. Rise's website made it look more like a ladies lunch place...is that wrong? Someone had suggested Tillman's Roadhouse. I looked at the website and wondered if it was a little too gimicky or if it was just relaxed and fun. Any one been there?

Tillman's has great food and isn't gimicky at all. It kind of depends on where the graduation is and how far you want to drive. Bolsa is also in Oak Cliff and, while they don't have Saturday brunch, they are open for Saturday lunch. That area of Oak Cliff is sort of the hot and happening place, and your son might appreciate that aspect. (But it's not so happening that an older family member would be uncomfortable.)
My only issue with Rise would be that the menu is sort of limited.
The suggestion of La Duni is also a good one.

re: dalaimama
I like Bolsa, but I can't say I love their lunch offerings.
Tillman's is good for lunch/bruch (better than for dinner, I think) and it's been a big hit with out-of-towners I've taken there. I think they have a private room if that matters.
La Duni is a favorite for Saturday brunch, since they offer a real brunch menu on Saturdays.
eta: Smoke does have a nice brunch (don't know if they offer it on Saturdays) . I like the brunch menu better than the dinner menu.

The handful of times I've been to Rise, I've seen people of all genders/ages/shapes/sizes. But thinking about it further, it is a small, cozy place. Depending on the size of your group, that could be a consideration.
Seeing mention of Oak Cliff made me think of Smoke. Checking their website, they have a weekend brunch. http://www.smokerestaurant.com/brunch...

Lu Duni - Latin, not Tex-Mex - 3 locations - not sure if their menus differ and you'll need to check the brunch hours.
