Ouisie’s Table will host serve a festive breakfast while airing the full royal coronation services for King Charles III of England. The restaurant will offer a special pre-fixe breakfast menu ($36) featuring English-themed dishes. Because the televised services of the coronation begin at 5 a.m. local time, the showing at Ouisie’s will be a delayed broadcast. Guests are strongly encouraged to dress in their royal best, with tiaras polished and scepters shined. Reservations are required as dining space is limited.
