| - We had a really lovely brunch at Earth on Sunday. A table for 8 was set aside via opentable. The staff were really understanding as our numbers fluctuated. Reservation made for 8, we arrived slowly, later thought we were only 7, half way through brunch, our 8th showed up unexpectedly. Also, I LOVE reservations when I'm going for brunch with a table larger than 2. Also when I'm suffering from a Hot Yoga Hangover. (It's just like a regular hangover, but induced from dehydration from a hot yoga class the day before. BRUTAL.)
The service was impeccable. Very friendly, our waiter kept the coffee, water and tea pots filled, and was in good spirits, joking along with our table.
We ordered the bread basket ($10) to start and got 2 peanut danishes, 2 coffee cream muffins (AMAZING), and a raisin strudel. It was a nice way to break into the meal.
I split the french toast ($11) and the Swine and Dine ($14) with a lovely lady friend. (Pork 6 ways? Yes. Yes please.) The eggs were nice, although there was a bit of an oil slick on top. The best part of the pork was the rashers (bacon). They were VERY salty, but totally delicious. The creton was the best I've ever had, and I've spent years in Quebec. The sausage was meh, but overall the breakfast was fun. The french toast was sitting in a pool of maple syrup. I LOVE that they don't skimp on the real maple syrup! (That being said, there was a LOT, and it was impossible to eat the french toast without every bite being totally soaked in syrup. I might ask for it on the side next time.)
Tea is $5 a pot, which is a little steep (get it? Ha?), but they happily refilled my pot, and they have a fun selection of loose tea to choose from.
Bills ranged from $20-$27.
