Who has a good Sunday Brunch at a reasonable price? It seems like Brunches are getting to be ridiculously priced at over $50 per person. Any thoughts?

The Columns...but I'd prefer to eat there when it's warmer and you can sit outside.

Oops, missed the reasonably priced part..sorry!

Thanks for all the replies. I have never been to Dante's Kitchen, but I have always heard good things about it. I looked at the menu online, and it is very reasonable. I am probably leaning towards Dante's Kitchen at this point. I have been to Court of Two Sisters, and believe it is very reasonable as well. I thought the food at Court of Two Sisters was just OK. I would prefer a buffet, but the prices are really high at places like Begue’s, and the Hilton. I could go to Commander’s and have a cheaper and better brunch than many Buffets around town.

Oyster:

"Court" actually has a greater variety to my memory, particularly as it home's in on Cajun and Creole. I've continued to hit the "Court" at least once during my trips. I enjoy taking about three hours on a weekday morning to lay back with my newspapers, crossword and suduko, and the "Court" patio is ideal.

(BTW the Atlantis has Mexican and Chinese "sections", but I don't come to NO for that type of food.)

It sounds like you're already convinced, but just to chime in, Dante's is great for brunch. The only minus I might add is that it can be a bit of wait because of its popularity.

Nothing wrong with Commander's either... look a few posts down the board for my brief review of New Year's Day brunch there.
