My friend Keri and I went to Orchard Vali on a perfect fall morning to enjoy the Sunday brunch. The ride was absolutely beautiful and all of the colors of fall were perfect for observation. There is nothing like the changing of the leaves! We arrived at Orchard Vali and were promptly seated. We were immediately served hot coffee and fresh orange juice, both of which are included with brunch. The buffet was a brunch lover’s dream with eggs benedict (on biscuits, not English muffins, and a pleasant surprise), pancakes, French Toast, sausage, bacon, potatoes, green beans, oven roasted chicken, rice pilaf and seafood Newburg, and carve ham and beef. 
There was also soup and salad bar as well as a table of yummy desserts! Overall it was quite possibly the best brunch buffet we have ever seen in Central New York.
