The newly renovated lobby will be transformed into a scene out from the Emerald City with a 20-foot long yellow brick road, full size movie cut-outs and a special backdrop perfect for selfies and photos. Special Oz themed cocktails will be pouring at the bar and DJ Kiko will be spinning a special Emerald City mix. From the kitchen, look for brunch dishes like French Toast with Grand Marnier and Berries, Belgian Waffles with Vanilla Bean Gelato and Mixed Berries, Sausage and Peppers Skillet, Brunch Burger, Smoked Salmon Flatbread, Zucchini Frittata, Lobster Skillet, Zucchini Crabcake and more. Click your ruby red slippers, wear your favorite Oz inspired costume, clothing and/or accessories, and invite your squad down the yellow brick road.

Come out and brunch in the land of Oz as Positano Coast transforms itself into the Emerald City on Sunday, January 29, 2023, from 11:30am to 3:00pm. Enjoy an Emerald City vibe with photo stations, decor, costumes, themed cocktails, food features and music by DJ Kiko. Themed cocktails for Wizard of Oz Brunch will be $13 each and feature:
A Horse of a Different Color –
(Gin, Chartreuse, Ginger, Lemon, Blue Ice)
A color changing Last Word riff coined after it’s equine namesake. Fun fact: horses generally enjoy the taste of ginger very much.
The Smell of the Flowers is Killing us All –
(Bourbon, Honey-Poppy Syrup, Cardamom; stirred; or shaken with lemon)
Words of warning from the Cowardly Lion as our band of travelers made their way through the Deadly Poppy Field. They were really just getting a little high on opium.
Green Lemonade Paid for with Green Pennies –
(Tequila, Crème de Menthe, Lemon, Mint)
“At one place a man was selling green lemonade, and when the children bought it Dorothy could see that they paid for it with green pennies.” Unfortunately our version is not child friendly, but don’t worry, we’ll provide the green pennies.
Lollipop Guild –
(Vodka, Passionfruit Cordial, Watermelon Liqueur)
There are theories about what exactly the Lollipop Guild represented in Baum’s writing, so we’ll choose to take the name literally – Lollipops! Sweet and tropical and, yes, it comes with a lollipop.
