Weber’s Restaurant

FOOD

Weber’s bakeshop gives Sunday brunch an especially clear starting point. Blueberry muffins, cinnamon rolls and coffee cake are among the advertised bakery choices, with fruit preserves alongside them. They offer several ways to make a small breakfast plate before considering the hot buffet. A cinnamon roll doesn’t need to wait for an official dessert course, and coffee cake has already made its position on the matter fairly plain.

The waffle bar is another reason to take breakfast seriously. A waffle can be the center of a plate rather than a small addition beside everything else. It also gives the sweet-breakfast contingent something of its own while other people head for eggs or the lunch dishes.

Scrambled eggs, local sausage and sliced ham supply the familiar savory breakfast choices. Au gratin potatoes make a substantial accompaniment, whether the plate is still breakfast or already becoming lunch. Eggs and sausage can be a perfectly complete beginning; the ham offers another meat choice without requiring a trip through a separate plated menu.

The hot lunch selection extends to fried chicken, London broil and caramelized salmon. These dishes give brunch more range than a succession of breakfast meats. Chicken and potatoes make one straightforward plate, while the beef or fish can be considered with the salads and other sides. The particular spread can change, but the advertised regular brunch gives lunch a proper place in the meal.

Vegetarian lasagna is another substantial hot choice, useful for someone who wants the pasta dish rather than a meat-centered plate. It can stand on its own with a salad or join a smaller selection of the other hot foods. The buffet makes that sort of adjustment easy; one person’s main course can be another person’s modest side serving.

Mixed baby greens come with toasted almonds, dried cranberries and a choice of Weber’s ranch or raspberry vinaigrette. Couscous and tangy coleslaw add other prepared salad options. They provide distinct accompaniments to the hot food rather than requiring a pile of every available side. A little greens salad with the salmon makes a different meal from eggs, sausage and potatoes.

The quieter breakfast choices deserve attention, too. Hot oatmeal, overnight oats, vanilla Greek yogurt with chia seeds and bakeshop granola are part of the lineup. Honeydew, cantaloupe, pineapple and red grapes supply the fruit selection. A bowl of yogurt and granola can sit alongside a muffin, or the fruit can provide a simpler last plate after the richer dishes. The bakery remains available for those whose idea of a finish still involves cinnamon.
