Easter Brunch at Oasis Café
Those looking to get out of cooking for Easter are in luck. Oasis Café (151 S. 500 East, 801-322-0404, oasiscafeslc.com) is serving an Easter brunch buffet from 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m. on April 1.

Adults dine for $35; kids 13 and under $18; and tots under 3 are free. The café recommends calling ahead for reservations, as tables fill up quickly. Those partial to an evening meal can still partake from the café's dinner menu after 5 p.m.
