| - The Steady is pretty awesome. I had been watching the restaurant for a while, and had it on my "to check out" list, and as soon as I heard they launched a brunch menu, I could wait no longer!
They take reservations for brunch (more awesomeness points,) so I took advantage of this by bringing in a giant party of 16 to test out the brunch menu! They had no problems accommodating this, and set up two large tables in the back facing each other so our large group was able to stay in the same area.
If you're looking for some hair of the dog, they have a pretty awesome and creative brunch cocktail menu. I didn't try one myself, but I heard some very good things from my fellow dining companions that did try one.
The Steady has a really alternative vibe (which I love,) and the servers and cooks really emulate that vibe also. While our servers were super friendly, service did leave a little something to be desired (could check in on us more, food and drinks were very slow, even for a group of this size) Note: no splitting bills here.
The food is amaaaaaaaaaazing. LOTS of options for meat lovers, vegans, and gluten intolerant people alike. The "This & That" breakfast, that seems really simple, but consists of lots of breakfast staple options (eggs, bacon or sausage, biscuit or hashbrows, fruit or greens, etc.) and had, by far, the best scrambled eggs I have ever had the pleasure of consuming in my life. They were cooked perfectly, and seasoned sooo well. My description just doesn't do them justice. I don't know if they slip drugs into those eggs because they are addictive as heck, but trust me, try them. My boyfriend ended up ordering an extra side of 5 eggs because they were so good.
I had the red velvet pancakes that came with a coconut sauce, and they were quite yummy. A HUGE portion size, I didn't finish more than about a quarter of my giant stack. While good, they can get a bit one-note if you are eating the entire plate. I suggest getting a side of something or sharing the pancakes with a friend.
Check out the calendar on their website - they hold a lot of cool events in the evenings.
Anyway, had a fantastic time here, and really, just can't wait to come back. What a gem.
