In addition to the holiday specialties, guests will also enjoy selections of traditional breakfast fare including signature Omelettes Prepared-To-Order with an array of fresh ingredients, Scrambled Eggs, Smoked Bacon and Sausage, and Cheese Blintzes with syrup alongside Assorted Pastries, bagels and cream cheese. For the health-minded diner, fresh from the garden offerings include among others, Chicken Salad with Dried Fruit, Mandarin Shrimp Couscous with Toasted Almonds, a combination of cucumber, Roma tomatoes and onions, and seasonal greens. The Chef’s selection of accompaniments includes Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Butternut Squash, Broccoli Cauliflower Au Gratin, Apricot and Calvados Apple Stuffing and finally, Reggiano Parmigiano Mashed Potatoes and Shaved Prosciutto.

To end the meal on a sweet note, guests will savor the San Luis’ mouth-watering desserts including Apple and Pumpkin Pies, New York style cheesecakes, Chocolate Layer Cake and a Petit Pastry Presentation –  just to name a few. There will be generously hosted mimosas and champagne, and guests will dine in style while enjoying the soothing sounds of smooth jazz duo, Twin Connection Rhythm and Blues.
