CRU's brunch is good, but it's not outstanding, and I certainly wouldn't pay y800 for it. I'm sure you could figure out for a way to get it for half that with a little research (brunch discounts of various sorts are always on offer), but if I were you I'd go to a free standing restaurant for brunch instead.

BTW, I'm starting a new paragraph because this doesn't relate to the food, but the singer at CRU was really painful to our ears ~4 weeks ago. I won't deny that this colored the experience in a negative way.
