Brunch at Reflections in the Rosewood Hotel Georgia
byThe Rosewood Hotel Georgia‘s inner courtyard dining lounge, Reflections, offered its first brunch service this past weekend. Located on the 4th floor of the hotel, it’s perched between city towers and surrounded by a flowing stream. A rushing waterwall drowns out city sounds and smooth lounge music echoes from under the glass canopy.
John and I were seated under cover on the patio, around a flickering open fire pit. Although we were outside, the rain was not a deterrent and only added to the ambiance. Pillows, blankets, and overhead heaters kept us warm as we sipped our coffees and looked over the new brunch menu [click for PDF].
Chef Ken Nakano offers up West Coast inspired brunch tapas (crab legs, smoked and candied salmon) along with amped up twists on classic brunch items. John, though tempted by the spicy chorizo eggs benedict, went for the beef short rib benedict ($17) and I decided on smoked salmon hash ($19).
Our food was served on a warm tablet which I thought would turn into a mess when I cut into my eggs. However, the eggs were poached to perfection and everything stayed in place. The servings were generous and for the quality of the food and the atmosphere, the price points were very reasonable.
John and I spent a good two hours snuggled up in our little cabana, sipping Moet & Chandon Ice Imperial, which is featured at Reflections. It was served over ice, as intended, to bring out the essence of the champagne. Sliced grapes and fresh mint leaves were added to our glasses and we had the option to add even more local fruit. The selection of berries didn’t get muddled the in glass, flavours popped, and the champagne stayed crisp. We would have stayed for another two hours if we didn’t have a movie to catch.
The staff were very attentive, asking every guest if they were comfortable, warm enough, and if they were enjoying the first brunch service at Reflections. Sunday brunch is served from 10:00am to 3:00pm and Reflections is open Monday to Saturday from 12:00pm until late.

The curtained cabanas give it the feel of eating poolside at a swanky Miami hotel. Love the ambiance. As for who I’d take, the fairest method would be a raffle among my friends and family but since life isn’t always fair, I’m sure my husband and parents would be the “random” winners.
