Among Boston’s many beautiful brunches served on sun-splashed patios, Sunday rooftop service at the Taj stands out with its 17th-story views of the Public Garden, white-tablecloth pomp and luxury menu featuring a raw bar (Jonah crab claws in season!), traditional Indian dishes and swish desserts. Think of it as the ritziest big-wedding rehearsal meal you’ve ever attended, plan to drop more than a hundred bucks a head with drinks and bring someone who’ll appreciate its old-fashioned charms: Mom, for instance.
