Is there good brunch in Princeton?

Can you recommend a Sunday brunch spot for a party of 15 in or around Princeton, NJ? Criteria: moderately priced, kid-friendly, tasty, and not PJs. ;) Availability of mimosas/bloody Marys is not required, but is a plus. Thanks!
What about the Nassau Inn? They must have a nice brunch.

Americana Diner on 130 in East Windsor (just north of Princeton-Hightstown Rd/571) was my go-to spot but I haven't lived in the Boro since 2002, so I can't guarantee that their Challah French Toast and fresh squeezed OJ are still completely and totally fantastic. OH, and the Spanish Omelet might not still be mind-blowingly delicious.

salt creek grill might be a little bit pricey. But its Sunday Brunch has live music which my kid really enjoyed.

Rat's in Hamilton is supposed to be amazing, but I've heard it's pricey. The Palace of Asia (Lawrenceville) lunch buffet is usually pretty amazing, but it's not really brunch. My wedding shower was an awesome brunch at the Cranbury Inn, but I'm not sure if they usually serve brunch. I've never had brunch at the Witherspoon Grill (Princeton), but their brunch menu looks good, and I've had great food there. I had a nice brunch at Za (Pennington) recently, but it's not so close to Princeton.
The Americana is definitely a diner experience--tasty, salty food that will sit in your stomach like lead. They're insanely busy on weekends, and they don't take reservations. The last time I ate there with a large-ish group, they really rushed.

Za is nice, and not really far from Princeton -- Rosedale road to Carter to Elm Ridge to Pennington Rocky Hill Rd. It has the added advantage of being next to Jann's Ice Cream Shop which is the best place to take kids (and their grown-ups) for dessert afterwards!
Nassau Inn has brunch, but it's a little tired, IMO.
Brothers Moon in Hopewell Borough has a good brunch, and you can walk around town and see antique shops, etc. The food is very good and the staff is great.

Response by poster: Thanks for all the replies... turns out we're doing lunch instead of brunch, and a res has been made at Triumph.
