Second the recommendation for the Rio Grill.  We haven't been there in a few years, but on our previous visits the food has been quite good and somewhat creative. - Tony

Either the Rio Grill isn't doing Brunch anymore, or there was no indication of it anywhere, but when we got there on Sunday a little before 11am, they were simply closed.  The lunch menu said Monday-Saturday and there were no signs for brunch.

So we went over and ate at "From Scratch."  Good food in huge portions.  I had a roquefort quiche with french onion soup.  My wife had the Corralitos sausage skillet, which included 3 eggs. One kid had a mickey pancake, and the other two had grilled cheese sandwiches where they got to choose the kind of cheese and bread. Those were proclaimed the "best grilled cheese" ever.  I think we paid about $25.
