Just found out today that my mom would like to go to brunch Sunday. I am not the brunch aficionado by any stretch, I need some suggestions. Not looking to break the bank. Need something I could still get reservations for. She also is looking for something with "stations", i.e. carving, seafood, omelette, etc. $25-$45 per head is the desired range. Thanks for the help....

The buffet at Harrah's isn't bad at all and it's free mimosas which really makes it affordable.

I am going to Emeril's NOLA for brunch... no carving stations, but the menu looks great and the prices seem fair.

Didn't think about the Casino. Not too "eastery" if you know what i mean. I'll add it to the list anyway. Thanks.

Harrah's wouldn't be my first choice...but with tip and drinks it's definitely in your price range. If either of you like to drink mimosas I really can't think of another option for that price range.

I am assuming Lil Dizzy's downtown will be doing their usual Sunday Brunch....that would fit into the price range well.

We ate at Luke on Christmas Day, and it worked out well...just a regular menu though.

we did the Windsor Court last Easter...had a buffet style set up with different stations...it was pretty nice, but don't remember the price per head.

Carving station type brunches are most often found in hotels, so you might check some of the better hotels for their menus. I had this issue several weeks ago, but without the "station" requirement and settled on Delmonico, but it's pricy.

I considered Muriel's as they have a very reasonably priced brunch and I ate there for brunch in January. Everything was very good and the atmosphere was festive.

Tom Fitz has a list of brunch restaurants on his website, I believe at www.nomenu.com. It could be a bit dated, but it's a decent guide.

I looked at the Windsor brunch menu in my search and was not impressed. Apparently, part of the menu is buffet and part is not, but there weren't a great many choices.

It didn't appear the regular menu was available, which is one reason I scratched it off the list. I didn't ask, though. I'm staying there, so it would have been convenient, but the choices on the website were slim and would not have appealed to some in my party.

Ritz does a jazz brunch on sundays, you could call and ask if they're doing one for easter?...
