Saturday Brunch for 5 in Santa Monica/Beverly Hills/ Brentwood/West Hollywood

[clertzman]

Looking for a brunch/lunch place for 5 - (in-laws + grandma) for a 35th birthday

We've thought of
-Farmshop
-Bouchon
-One Pico or Coast @Shutters
-Comme Ca
-Luques
-Tavern
-Geoffreys

Any thoughts of where is best? We've only been to Farmshop for brunch. Is there somewhere you've been (max = $30/per) that's out of this world?

Barney Greengrass in Beverly Hills is great for brunch. Particularly on a nice day sitting on the patio.

Have you checked out Zengo? Slightly more than your stated budget preference but it includes all the beverages (including adult beverages) with free refills.

+1 for Zengo all you can eat Latin Asian small plates with unlimited cocktails and drinks included. $35 per person. I love their duck hash. Nice patio too.

Another good choice is Fig at the Fairmont,

and if you are willing to drive to Manhattan Beach a great new brunch at Manhattan Beach Post and their wonderful bacon cheddar biscuits and their Poached Egg with asparagus, creamy polenta, Bianco Sardo. Really good stuff.
