A Crystal Cove Takes Mimosa Brunch to the Next Level

October 21, 2025

A Crystal Cove is taking weekend brunch to the next level. The coastal-chic dining spot from River Jetty Restaurant Group has introduced an elevated mimosa cart experience that lets guests build their perfect glass with premium bubbles, vibrant juices and fresh garnishes.

Available every Saturday and Sunday, the custom mimosa cart is set up inside the restaurant and features options like Veuve Clicquot and Prosecco, paired with juices and liqueurs such as guava, passion fruit, orange, St-Germain and Chambord. Guests can top off their creations with fresh berries or citrus for a festive touch. It's a fun, interactive way to start brunch with a little extra sparkle.

The menu, led by Executive Chef Elvis Morales, is just as impressive. Standout dishes we loved included the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with blueberry compote and whipped cream, the Mexican Benedict with al pastor chorizo, avocado, poblano hollandaise and micro cilantro, and the Duck Confit Sopes with A5 wagyu refried beans, salsa verde, crème fraîche and queso fresco. 

And, you can also choose from A Crystal Cove favorites such as Whipped Feta with blistered heirloom tomatoes, saffron honey, fresh basil, sumac, and house-made pita; Squash Blossoms with robiola, grilled baby squash, roasted yellow bell pepper sauce, and cotija; Lobster Cobb Salad with mixed greens, hard-boiled eggs, heirloom cherry tomatoes, sweet corn, avocado, bacon, feta, white balsamic vinaigrette, and avocado aioli; and A La Carte Steaks.

On Sundays, live music sets the tone for a laid-back, lively brunch that feels like a true weekend escape. Bottles of champagne are half off Friday through Sunday, making it even easier to celebrate with friends or family.

Brunch is served Fridays from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more details, visit arestaurantcc.com
