Any suggestions for great food with an atmosphere that's not stuffy?

Ate at Libby's tonight. They are advertising an Easter Sunday brunch for $29 per adult and $12 for children under 12.

Ophelia's on the bay does an outstanding Easter brunch and you can sit right on the water! Only $30 a person and includes bloody marys and mimosas.

Mattison's Fourty One does a great job for Sunday brunches, not stuffy at all but nicer family atmosphere. The Colony on Longboat Key, may be considered stuffy, but right on the beach and is definitely the best brunch in Sarasota!

I thought that the Colony was long gone?????

The Colony IS long gone. And the Colony wasn't definitely the best brunch in the area anyway -- the best brunch is and was at the Ritz. However, Melissssa asked for something not stuffy and so the Ritz drops out....

LBK...The Ritz Brunch is very beautiful, engineered and complete in every way. I find the $69.00 per person before tax and tip a little sporty. Be advised, the Mother's Day Brunch and I believe Easter Brunch as well is a "trim" $95.00 per person before tax and tip. How much "Art" can you consume.....lol

The brunch at Lido Beach Resort has been excellent. I think its around $30, with a gorgeous view.

Thanks for all the great brunch suggestions; I am looking forward to trying something new!
