The live music! Dazzle is as much as a jazz club as it is a restaurant, and brunch is no exception. Being serenaded by a jazz quartet while enjoying your food takes brunch to a whole nuther level.

Live music!

The drinks! The $8 buy-in gets you limitless mimosas, bloody marys, beer, and wine, all served at the bar. Mimosas are served as a plain glass of champaign. You add your own orange or cranberry juice. (Consider adding a fresh strawberry from the dessert bar!) The bloody marys are made as spicy as you want, with V8, clamato, or regular tomato juice, and then you select your own combination of garnishes from green olives, pickles, jalapeno, celery and carrot. Fun!

Highlights include—

• The service. The Brown Palace always excels in this department. Each and every member of the staff is engaging and quick with a smile and a hello.
• A live jazz trio! ♫ ♫ ♫
• The atmosphere. The wallpaper, the potted bamboo trees, and the ice sculptures make for a very interesting brunch experience.
• A dessert bar to satisfy the most discerning choco-snob.
