Brunch in Hampton Roads

Ok, so we have been living here in the Tidewater now for seven years.  After living in San Diego and being offered the opportunity to eat the Sunday Brunch at the Officers club on North Island, I, we, have become a little spoiled.  So ever since moving here, we have been on the look out for a good Sunday brunch Buffet.  We tried some local places like the Coast Guard Training Center in Yorktown, a couple of resturants here in Norfolk and Virginia Beach and really have not been too impressed.  The USCGTC is actually pretty decent if you want to make the trip. 

Today, we tried the Sunday Brunch at the Chamberlin Hotel at Ft. Monroe.  For $25 you get eggs to order, seafood to include crab legs, shrimp and other assorted seafood treasures, a desert table and of course a lunch table with chicken and prime rib.  All the food was very good, the location awesome and the company even better.  Although lacking ice sculptures and complementary mimosa's, the Chamberlin is where it is at in the Central Tidewater area.  I would recommend reservations....

Of course while you are there, walk off your brunch with a stroll along the grounds of America's oldest, continuously manned fortification and visit the casemate museum. 

D'egg Review

Yesterday we decided to venture away from our favorite breakfast bistro and try something new and different. So we packed up the family and went to sunny down town Norfolk and had breakfast at "D'egg" on Main street. The place was busy clean and the wait staff prompt and accommodating. The food was your standard breakfast fare.  Crackerz gave the best complement that it is tough going out for breakfast when you can get a great meal at Dewbury Farms Bed and Breakfast!  

If you are doing something down town and need to catch a bite, hit D'egg.  If you are in the "View", drop by, kitchen rates are reasonable and the eggs benedict are the best in town!
