What images does the name The Ritz-Carlton conjure? Luxury? White-gloved service? Indulgence? That’s the “The Ritz-Carlton Mystique,” a companywide strategy to deliver exceptional customer experiences that encourage lifetime loyalty and a high level of perceived value.

Now, imagine what Sunday brunch at The Café at The Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead looks like. What do you envision?

Caviar? Tall flutes of bubbly? White-jacketed chefs cooking to order? Check, check and check.

1. And I'll bet a lot of their patrons crab about the service

After all, that's how you prove you're better than everybody else there.

3. Not really high class patrons, imo, Warpy;

only those who don't know better, and feel a need to prove they're 'better.' (And I'm not kidding. Ever watch Masterpiece?)

2. Hold the caviar, svp!

4. I once had a brunch/buffet that came to about $150/person.

It was in some fancy place,which and it included an open bar as well as unlimited steak and lobster. It was some pretty good steak too, and they had several selections of steaks from Japan, Argentina, Australia, and the USA. The idea was that you'd could order 3-ounce steaks and have a little bit of everything. Also had a good selection of very fresh sushi, appetizers, salads, and breakfast foods. I'd say it was worth it, but I don't think I'll be doing it again, since the only reason I was there in the first place was because we had gone halfway across the world on business and our hosts wanted to show us a good time.
