i was there for brunch many times and kept coming back. whenever i think of brunch i will think of ballaro, i know the staff and they treated us very well as they recognized their regular guests. amazing selection of foods and beverages, you name it and they kept coming! thats the best part, the seafood selections are amazing, oysters, crab legs, prawns, lobsters, the alaskan king crab legs is the star of the show on the seafood bar. they have even this live grilling station. depending on the day, they have live drinks stations too. i was there winter, summer and another winter again. the only bad thing is that it gets really full even when i booked 2 weeks in advance, thats how popular they are.
the band playing in the background, subtle and we still can talk to the people around the table. defo a great place for birthday brunch with your friends, not so kids friendly though as they don't have place for them to play so it suitable for people who have grown kids who don't worry about their kids.
highly recommended, definitely have to book your table in advance and the service is amazing as long as you are not being an... you know..
