Sunday Brunch at the Hilton Short Hills Featuring Ann Taylor

Sunday brunch in the Terrace Restaurant of the Hilton Short Hills is the perfect place to catch up with friends and relatives, while enjoying delicious food! Last time I had was here was for the Specialty Sunday Brunch event featuring Tory Burch.

This time I attended the last of the Specialty Sunday Brunch series on November 7th, featuring Ann Taylor. Guests received the Ann Taylor Holiday lookbook and a 25% Off card valid at Ann Taylor stores.


What I love about this brunch are the different serving stations, from eggs and waffles to shrimp cocktail and lox. I noticed the fall menu was different, including a roasted root vegetable salad and toasted Israeli cous-cous with honey roasted quince and dried cranberries.

I always make sure I have room for dessert! There were so many good ones to choose from, including chocolate peanut butter cream with banana bread and pumpkin pie with cinnamon chantilly.

My delectable plate full of desserts!

I definitely needed a walk after all the fabulous brunch food, so I headed over to The Mall at Short Hills, located across from the Hilton Short Hills. I went to check out Ann Taylor's holiday selection.

Jewelry, clutches and shoes are the perfect accessories to dress up your holiday outfit!

Brunch and shopping afterwards is a great way to spend your Sunday. Brunch is served every Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m, $42 for adults and $21 for children, ages 4 – 12. Children under 4 years of age are welcomed complimentary. Be sure to book a reservation! Reservations are required and complimentary valet parking is available for all brunch guests. Hope you get to experience the great brunch I have had at the Hilton Short Hills!

Sunday Brunch at the Hilton Short Hills Featuring Tory Burch

Polenta Sliders with Heirloom Tomatoes and Fresh Mozzarella

Last Sunday, June 6th, the Hilton Short Hills held their second Specialty Sunday Brunch event, this time featuring Tory Burch at The Mall at Short Hills, located directly across the street from the Hilton Short Hills.

The brunch took place in the Terrace Restaurant from 10am - 2pm. Executive Chef Richard Kennedy and his team of chefs created brunch favorites along with serving stations of carved meats, fresh seafood and homemade desserts. I tried as much as I could, including scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, smoked salmon and caviar, shrimp cocktail and desserts. There was a lot of food I wish I still had room for, including the eggs benedict, pasta station, cheese and mushroom quiche, seafood paella and fondue and ice cream bar.

I didn't get to try the cannellini beans enveloped in a roasted red pepper tapenade with sage & walnuts shown here, but one of my favorites was definitely the mandarin & passion fruit infused stone fruit, cherry goat cheese and toasted almonds.


Upon leaving, guests received a special Tory Burch gift bag containing a Tory Burch mini candle and $25 gift card to use at the Tory Burch store at The Mall at Short Hills.

The first of the Sunday Brunch series had kicked off on May 2nd, with the Hilton Short Hills featuring LaMer and Bobbi Brown from Saks Fifth Avenue. The next brunch will actually be a Special Father's Day event, taking place on June 20th and featuring Allen Edmonds and Molten Brown.

The Specialty Sunday Brunches will continue throughout the year, so stay tuned! It is the perfect Sunday get-together, with friends or relatives. I think it's a perfect partnership between Hilton Short Hills and the boutiques at The Mall at Short Hills. A gourmet brunch followed by an afternoon of shopping sounds like the perfect Sunday to me!

The pricing for the brunch is $42 for adults and $21 per child (children under four years old are free), excluding all taxes and gratuities. Complimentary valet parking is available for all brunch patrons. Reservations are recommended; please contact the Hilton Short Hills at 973.912.4757.
