Thus I don't think there should be an expectation of a buffet, or 'high end' foods, although those places can easily be found if that is what you are after. To criticize places for not having a buffet when they advertize brunch is completely unfair as that is not what 'brunch' means.
You misunderstood me. My expectations are almost always met. I said I expect any decent restaurant that advertises brunch, to have
either a buffet
or a very special brunch menu. They almost always do, and that's why I expect it. The rare occasion that they have neither, is the pet peeve, and I leave.
