One can hear champagne bottles pop open for guests ordering from the Mimosa Bar. Select either Philippe Dublanc or Lanson black label brut. They also serve four different cold juice flavors for a splash of sweetness. Other beverage choices include white, rose' and red wine to pair with your brunch fare.
