Slip into Sunday with the new flavors of Whist`s brunch at Viceroy in Santa Monica. Served from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., brunch at Whist will feature inventive entrees with Latin Jazz setting the tone for lively outdoor enjoyment or indoor serene relaxation.
“To complement Viceroy`s stylish and relaxed atmosphere, we wanted visitors to have the opportunity to dine at their leisure,” said Vincent Piro, General Manager. “The new brunch allows guests and locals to enjoy a Sunday morning after sleeping in or going for a morning walk on the beach.”
Prices start at $34.95 for the buffet-style brunch, which includes inventive hot and cold entrees such as marinated flank steak, smoked and poached salmon, and marinated chicken breast; a meat carving station; sushi rolls; made-to-order waffles and omelets and a scrumptious selection of desserts such as handmade scones, petit fours, flourless chocolate cake and kiwi tarts.
“As Whist has quickly become a highly sought-after dinner destination and nightspot, we wanted to bring the same energy to the mornings,” said Piro. “We also wanted to offer Santa Monica another way to relax, enjoy the beach atmosphere and make the weekend last a little longer.”
