I have a "date" this Sunday for a motorcycle ride and we are going to go to brunch. Where do you guys reccomend we go to up here? Ducey's? Where else has a good Sunday brunch?
I also hope it doesnt rain!!

I went to Sunday Brunch at Ducey's just this last Sunday. I had never been before. Overall-I give the experience an 'A'. We were a tough group to wait on. The group as a whole was more than a little late. The servers didn't seem to mind.

There were two egg allergies at my table and they were more than happy to adjust menu items to accommodate us.

For such a large group (20) the food came out as fast as the server could carry it and no one seemed to have a mistake with their order.

The food was good. Prices were fair. For some reason though, I had expected more from the menu. Not that it is lacking. I had thought there would be more originality.

My only complaint was that Ducey's doesn't have a way to really seat large parties. They gave us a section of 5 or 6 booths...but that is no way to visit. It doesn't sound like you will be having that problem though!!

My new favorite is the Ahwahnee in Yosemite Valley. It was amazing with fresh prawns, not the peel and eat kind, fresh oysters, mussels, carving station, omelet station. It was great and with a great view. I also like the Casino's brunch.

I wonder if my friends would think it too long to drive to THe Ahwahnee....it's my favorite building on the planet and their food is amazing. We got lucky enough to do The Bracebridge Dinner one year....AMAZING! http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/yes.gif

Ducey's has always been our fav for Sunday brunch but if you happen to be "moseying" down Fresno way the Sheraton has a great Sun. brunch at a reasonable price. Sheraton is on Shields and Blackstone. (Champagne brunch to boot!!)
