I have a sister that moved here from Austin, TX a few years ago. She was asking me if there are any cool brunch places in town. So, I did some digging and came up with these. If you can think of any to add, feel free. Otherwise, I just thought maybe you gals might appreciate the list and the links. The question seems to come up on this board every now and then. Tell me if I've listed a place that isn't open anymore. I tried to steer clear of chains but a few came up repeatedly so I listed them.

Re: Brunch in Cincinnati
Mokka in Newport, never been there though.
A Taste of Julia's has a supper yummy soul food buffet on Sunday. You're going to need to eat lettuce for a week to save up your calories though!

Red Squirrel? Not my favorite but my parents like it.
Taj Mahal on Route 4 has a good Indian buffet on Sunday with some South Indian items (lighter and more heat than the creamy North Indian dishes)
Half Day Cafe in Wyoming.
I may have to make it my goal to visit all these places.
