I don't think this brunch is worth $45. The music lasted for only 45 minutes (and was interpsersed with paryers "In the name of Jesus" and lectures on how only Jesus heals, etc.) and as soon as the concert is over then they asked everyone to leave! My family still had food on our plates and the staff was cleaning off the table. It was clear that the House of Blues is good at running a tight ship for concerts, but brunch is a different story. People go there to relax and eat to their stomach's delight; not to see a 45min concert and then leave right away while there's a buffet full of food being cleared away. I would not recommend this experience. If you want gospel, and you want to stand up and pray several times on a Sunday morning (yep, we were called to solemn prayer mutliple times througbhout "brunch"), then go to a real church. And if you want a good brunch go to a restaurant. Again, I like the idea of having a concert and brunch combined, but House of Blues really blew it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
