Elevate your weekend with their new electrifying brunch. Restaurateur & Chef Partner bring “La Dolce Vita” to Bucktown! The restaurant is already a hot spot for dinner. Trust me, reservations are a must. Deliz is about to take over brunch! Diners will have a luxurious time on the 2nd fl with both inside & patio dining, plus there’s a DJ creating cool vibes. Think caviar service, bottomless spritzes & creative dishes. I really love the menu. Some restaurants throw an egg on existing dishes & call it breakfast. Chef & his team put great thought into developing this tasty menu. We loved every bite!

We started with cappuccino because I wanted to feel like I was in Italy. I also tried the new elderflower pear spritz which was delicious. I’m not a spritz guy but I’d order this all day. Luckily, they have 2hr bottomless spritzes & mimosas!

We loved the avocado toast with
grilled sourdough, 6 min egg & everything bagel spice. The spicy red pepper kick was amazing. The hazelnut banana bread with honey butter was so flavorful. The tarte flambe was great for sharing. The ultimate party was the tiramisu stuffed French toast.

If you’re looking to impress the table, order the smoked salmon tower. I loved how meaty the cured smoked salmon was. It comes with an assortment of bagels with cucumbers, onions & delicious sauces. I’m not always a fan of salmon but this was phenomenal. Another great dish to share would be the charcuterie board with a selection of cured meats & cheese. The burrata & prosciutto were incredible. Chilled oysters with the Calabrian chili cocktail sauce were fantastic.

I loved the creativity of the cacio e pepe omelette with pecorino mornay & toasted black pepper. I’m a fan of traditional eggs benedict but I highly recommend the peekytoe crab benedict with prosciutto, asparagus & Meyer lemon hollandaise. It’s perfection!

The Maine style lobster roll with yuzu aioli was fabulous along with the dry-aged ribeye cheesesteak with smoked caciocavallo, pickled peppers & truffle gouda mornay. Look out Philly!

See you on the patio for this fabulous weekend brunch!

Escape to for the most romantic champagne brunch in Naples, FL on . It’s listed as one of the top 100 brunches. It’s number one to me!

Guests enjoy a limitless course by course menu featuring gourmet dishes. The festivities start in front of the restaurant. Everyone is treated to an array of drinks under the glistening sun. The outdoor bar features homemade Bloody Marys, cocktails & champagne with fresh squeezed juices. It is a sight to see, as hundreds gather together.

I highly recommend reservations. We enjoyed brunch from the bar which was a blast. We made some new friends too. I started with my favorite cocktail the tiki old fashioned with white cacao, house made orange bitters, pineapple & banana.

We started with the tuna tartare with fennel marmalade, white soy vinaigrette, avocado mousse & sesame tuile. It’s a refreshing umami-rich dish with a balance of sweet & savory. We also loved the crab & avocado with crème fraiche, pepper jam & mango purée. The mango brings a tropical sweetness that balances out the briny crab along with the creamy avocado.

The fresh raw oysters are a must. The house sauces really elevate the dish. The green apple mustard & champagne tea mignonette raise the level of each slurp. The fresh fish of the day was a grilled snapper. It was so delicious with roasted vegetables & provencal vinaigrette. I also loved the roast lamb with potato, carrot & parsnip.

One of our new favorites is the pea & asparagus soup with garlic potato espuma. It’s a sophisticated balance of vibrant spring flavors with comforting textures. Another new favorite is the shark bay scallops with sage beurre blanc & squash purée. It’s silky & savory! My Sicilian heart needed a taste of Italy, so I had to enjoy the lasagna wagyu bolognese with tomato & béchamel. The sauce is amazing. I really feel like I’m dining in Italy.

We ended with the fabulous vanilla crème brulée with Madagascar vanilla bean for dessert. Sails offers the ultimate weekend brunch. You’ll feel like you’re in Europe on a coastal getaway!
