| - Returned to Bar Symon today for their Sunday Brunch. None of the dishes we tried exemplified the magic that is Michael Symon.
I ordered the Belgian waffle with Nutella, bananas, and whipped cream with a side of hash browns (more "hash" than "hash browns"). The "hash browns" were rather flavorless, which is a shame. Michael Symon is usually good at making the ordinary sing. The Belgian waffle tasted exactly like it sounds. No special "something". It was a bit hard to taste the waffle underneath the Nutella...so for all I know, it was a waffle of the frozen variety (highly unlikely, but you never know...)
My boyfriend ordered the Pork Pastrami Hash (poached eggs, red peppers, onions, pepper gravy). He liked it. Again, I found it to be bland. A few bites in, my boyfriend did as our waiter to bring over some hot sauce to add to his dish. The potatoes were just very underseasoned, as with my side order.
Service was excellent. Our waiter was quite friendly and attentive without being overbearing.
All in all, I don't think I'll write Bar Symon off as a brunch spot, but I'd have to try something more over-the-top next time.
