"Cost: $105 per person. All of the least desirable characteristics of a brunch buffet are present at the Setai’s restaurant, Jaya. Food stations—which range from Indian to bagels—look like I-95 at 5:45pm. The mostly drunk crowd is pure chaos (we witnessed a man in an unbuttoned button-down shirt sauntering between tables while puffing on a cigar). There is unlimited champagne, although they don’t replenish the bottle sitting in an ice bucket next to your table between reservations, so you might have to make do with a half-empty one. The good news? There’s live jazz and the huge outdoor space is at least visually interesting. More bad news? The food is not good and the highest value items (like peking duck) are doled out in portions that wouldn’t satisfy a Smurf. " - ryan pfeffer
