| - Came here on on a Sunday with le boyfriend for brunch, and man oh man was it delicious! Very decent sized portions, really great service, and the best part was that we were seated right away during brunch prime time (10:30am). Could not be more pleased or happy enough to give my recommendation :)
Memphis Benedict + Heaven on Earth (4.5/5): GAWD would I kill to eat these right now. Heaven on Earth is this gigantic french toast filled with strawberries, blueberries, jam & cream cheese. On the side they give you maple syrup to finish it all off. The toast is crispy while the inside is creamy. Definitely a choice item for those craving a sweet first meal of the day. I was weary of trying the Memphis Benedict since I'm not a fan of pulled pork. There is something about sweet meat that doesn't really sit right with me... BUT their pulled pork is more on the savoury side and probably one of my favorites in the city! They also don't skimp on serving you the pulled pork, like I said up top.. the servings are decent sized if not huge lol. Lastly, I'll need to comment on their home fries. It's tossed up in their "legendary sauce" which is some kind of ketchup mix.. but with some spice to it. It's pretty tasty, I enjoyed it! However, they get soggy near the end of the meal so it might be a good idea to ask for it on the side.
Cost (4/5): For $13/$14+tax+tip for each of our meals (we didn't order any drinks), I'd say this was a fair priced meal. It's presented well, it's a VERY decent sized portion, and I don't think they could have cooked it any better!
Service (4/5): Front of the house treated us with a smile, and our waiter was very pleasant. Table service was on par seeing as we never ran of water, and the food + bill came in a timely manner. No complaints here!
Ambiance (4/5): This is a really hip place. They have windows lining the front of the restaurant and Christmas lights that run to the back. Their bar is well designed such that it doesn't look messy, but tidy as they display alcohol that runs the entire wall up to the ceiling :P I have to admit that it does get noisy, and perhaps is alittle dark if your aren't seated in the sunlight.
Overall a great choice for brunch if you are super hungry, in the area, and not wanting to stand in line for an outrageous amount of time :)
