| - My best friend and I were in town for a concert at the Q, and we decided to get in a good brunch before we hit the road back to Pennsylvania. I couldn't help but notice how quiet downtown Cleveland is on a Sunday morning, and yet several places were open for the few souls who were there looking for dining. And souls is the best word I could use, because that's how dead it was. We found Stonetown on my Yelp app and were seated in the near empty bar right away.
The hostess and server were friendly enough, but check times on the food ran a bit long for how slow it was. I ordered eggs, grits, bacon, and a drop biscuit with a mimosa to wash it down. My friend got the brioche stuffed French toast and a mimosa as well. I must say, I was impressed by the grits. You can't get them just anywhere, especially north of the Mason-Dixon line, but these were pretty near to the consistency I like and didn't taste like a packet of instant mixed with water. The bacon and eggs were fine too, but the biscuit was a little on the tough side. The mimosa was fine. I had a bite of my friend's French toast and it was absolutely delicious; I would probably order that if I ever went there again. But the going there again part is a BIG "if", because I'd rather find somewhere a little more lively.
