| - This place is a little off the beaten path but worth a trip! I've been here about 4 times and the food and service have been consistently good. Today I met up with friends for Saturday brunch. I ordered the sheep's milk ricotta dish and the wild mushroom quiche and both were excellent. The ricotta was blended with a little bit of chopped basil and topped with balsamic, sun-dried strawberries, and honey, and served with grilled bread. The quiche was delicious as well and came with a nice side salad.
As far as drinks, if you like fresh ginger, try the Pimm's Cup - my friend ordered one and I stole a taste. I'm not a big gin person but the ginger and citrus perfectly balanced out the cocktail. Two of us also both ordered the Nutella Coffee Boba to drink. I had ordered it on a previous visit and enjoyed it--it had come with a good amount of boba and the (boba-mandatory!) extra-wide straw. Today however they were served to us with small straws, and the boba in both of our drinks were kind of all stuck together. After we pointed these issues out to our waiter he handled it great, though; after he couldn't find any large straws anywhere, he took the two boba drinks off our bill.
If your party is up for sharing food, I think a lot of the items on the brunch menu (including the ricotta dish I got today, or the stuffed dates I had on a previous visit) would be great tapas-style (or even as "brunch appetizers," if that's a thing). One friend I was with today got the avocado & tomato toast which would also be good shared--though maybe I'm just saying that because it looked super tasty & I was definitely eyeing it--I'll have to get it next time!
