Sunday Brunch - Moonraker or The Duck Club ?

Someone wrote:

: Based on my one experience with the Duck Club and none with Moonraker, : you should choose the Cliff House in San Francisco.

	Haven't been to the Duck Club at Stanford Park, but - once you get past the somewhat uninspired name - the one at the Monterey Plaza pretty much blows the Cliff House into Kelly's Cove!

	On another thread, someone recently posted something to the effect that restaurant hotels are routinely bad.  I didn't find this true at all of the Duck Club in Monterey.  The food and atmosphere (all tables have full Monterey Bay views) were excellent, and prices surprisingly reasonable.  The same outfit owns a hotel in Bodega Bay, which also has a Duck Club eatery.  I haven't been there, but it has been reviewed as stellar in the local paper.

	For a tourist trap, the Cliff House ain't bad, and the views are of course excellent.  On several visits, though, I've found the food to be "fair to middlin'" at best...despite turgid prose to the contrary, posted here some time ago.

but Moonraker is quite acceptable and has an outstanding view<

Betty,

Thanks for the comments ... just came back from brunch at the Moonraker .. you were right about the view, but the food was distinctly pedestrian (especially for the price charged). The only good item on the brunch was the omelette station, everything else was very plain. I dont think I will be going back ..
