Never been but want to try. Here is the description...."The Greenbriar (8735 N. Foothills Highway) is located at the base of the foothills outside of the city of Boulder in an elegant green building with white trim. Its Sunday champagne buffet brunch is hard to beat anywhere. Choose from oysters, prime rib, quiche, chef-carved options, Belgian waffles, pickled herring, made-to-order omelets, cheese, lamb, pastries — are you drooling yet? Sip on champagne or a bellini and start the day in style."
