Enjoying a peaceful bayside view while sipping on a cup of coffee is an idyllic combination that can be had at Sunsets on Wayzata Bay. The restaurant sits alongside beautiful blue water that makes the patio a perfect location on a bright and sunny day.

Sundays are special at Sunsets on Wayzata Bay because they offer a robust Sunday brunch buffet that will suit even the pickiest eater. Made-to-order omelets are prepared using ingredients such as mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes and peppers; Belgian waffles are surrounded by fresh blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and whipped cream; and potatoes and eggs are smothered in melted cheese and green onions. Popular items like eggs benedict, sausage, bacon and hash browns are replenished often, making them fresh at every visit.

While juice comes with brunch, bloody marys were certainly a favorite amongst patio diners, keeping them occupied in between buffet visits.

Of course, if you are not in the mood for breakfast, Sunsets brunch has you covered as well. The brunch buffet also offers options like creamy tortellini pasta, fresh spinach and romaine salads, baked salmon and pork loin along with a Minnesota favorite, chicken and wild rice soup.

A brunch would not be complete without a dessert table. Gooey caramel rolls, lemon bars, fruit-filled coffee cake and other pastries lined the table to satisfy your sweet tooth. The best part? It is all-you-can-eat!

If you cannot make it to Sunday brunch, check out Sunsets daily happy hour and small plate dining for more delicious options.
