Reviewer: Foodnut.com Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay Navio Sunday Brunch One Miramontes Point Road Half Moon Bay, CA 94019 650-712-7000 |
Best buffet in San Francisco Bay Area? The Navio restaurant is located inside the Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay. It serves one of the best Sunday Brunches around. They have everything from traditional breakfast items, Sushi, caviar, fresh seafood, Dim Sum, Pastries, and Desserts. The location on the coast is perfect. You get views of the coast and golf course.
Reservations are required and keep in mind the place books up weeks in advance. They have 2 sittings, 11am and 1:30pm. Be sure not to book the earlier breakfast buffet, it has limited food choices. They have larger special occasion Sunday Brunches located in their larger ballrooms. We visited on a busy Mothers Day when prices were raised to $110/person. Mom is worth it right?
Decor, Vibe – Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay Navio Sunday Brunch has large windows that let you take in the awesome ocean views. Classy clubby atmosphere. Lots of families and some tourists were taking in Sunday Brunch.

Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay Navio Sunday Brunch is still the best buffet around. Far superior to the best buffets in Las Vegas, at the Wynn and Bellagio. The quality of items was extremely high and the selection immense. Service was top notch as expected.
The price is high but it is well worth it for special occasions. Champagne even isn’t included. The Ritz Carlton San Francisco’s Sunday brunch is very good but does not reach the heights of the Half Moon Bay location. Be sure to come with an empty stomach and pace yourself, dessert here is great. They have discounts for kids and kids below a certain age are free. If you are on a budget, try Daly City’s Moonstar buffet. Halfway around the world, Harbourside in Hong Kong kicks buffets up a notch. The best buffets remain Conrad Nicolini’s Sunday Brunch Buffet, Hong Kong, Harbourside Hong Kong
Update: June 2009 – The Ritz Carlton San Francisco is having Sunday Brunch Buffets only for special days including Mother’s Day.

Just curious, why was it mentioned to not book the earlier of the two seating times?

The early seating times are for a breakfast buffet and not brunch. The food selection is a lot more limited for breakfast.
