Jimmy's Jazzy Sunday Brunch
$25.00 - $65.00 per person
Oct 6, 2024 - May 11, 2025
Step into a Sunday wonderland where brunch becomes a delightful feast for the senses! Every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., join us for a buffet brimming with mouthwatering dishes that satisfy every craving—from sweet to savory and everything in between. Whether you're gathering with friends, sharing a special family moment, or enjoying a charming Sunday date, this is the place to unwind and indulge. Sip on $10 Bloody Mary's or mimosas (not bottomless, but perfectly poured), and let the sounds of live music fill the air, adding an extra touch of magic to your experience. It’s not just brunch—it’s a Sunday celebration!

The food was good, drinks were strong. Service was really bad, but I understand our waitress was juggling a lot of things and trying to eat during her shift. We felt bad.

The brunch was fantastic! Excellent selection of items: fresh fruits, crackers and cheese, vegetables with dips and hummus, breakfast items, lunch selections, pastries, make your own Bloody Mary bar, mimosas, and full bar. The jazz trio was also excellent with an upbeat selection of standards and modern tunes along with some original works. A great time in an amazing venue and worth every dollar.

One of the most gorgeous venues in New England. Amazing ambiance. The jazz brunch is great, with good music, and a quality selection of items served buffet style. All around quality experience.

The Brunch is great I hope it continues. The food was very good maybe could have used a carving station to make it a little more special.

The trio who played the 11/3/24 jazz brunch were fantastic musicians (sax, piano & bass)!! Jorge Allen on saxophone was particularly outstanding. We go to New Orleans every Spring & this jazz brunch made us feel like we were back in the French Quarter—great food & excellent jazz!!

Ambience is great but no vegan offerings, so hope you really enjoy the drink and ambience before you head elsewhere to get something to go with that drink(s). Had listed us as vegan diets in the OpenTable ask about any dietary need and also asked ahead if there were any vegan options. The reply was that vegan accommodations could be made at the time of dining. Well, so we went and asked our server, and she said there was nothing. So we ordered the truffle fries without cheese and aioli, pretty bland. Then left to eat elsewhere. Pretty disappointing for what you thought would have been a classy joint.

I took my sister and niece to this Jazz Brunch for Mother's Day. The buffet selections were off the charts and the food quality was very good - though some of the hot options could have been kept warmer (i.e. the quiches). Loved the jazz trio and the servers were all very friendly and attentive. My only detraction was the elevated price for the special day - and that at least 1 cocktail wasn't included in that price! Otherwise, and lovely experience.
