| - Let's talk about the space first. Gorgeous! They really know how to design a hip and trendy joint. Exposed beams, hanging industrial lights and shelves of spices. Very cool. Definitely very similar to their sister restaurant, Local, but better.
We came in on a snowy Sunday, so it wasn't very busy. I note that because we waited quite a bit for the cheese plate we ordered first. That was a bit confusing because you wouldn't think a cheese plate would take long to bring out.
Thankfully we didn't wait long for our bloody mary and mimosa, so at least there's that. The bloody mary was perfect. Spicy, made with pepper vodka. So once the cheese plate came out we dove in. I have to say I was a bit disappointed. One, because our server just dropped it off and didn't explain what cheeses were on the board. So we had no clue what we were eating. Two because the cheese selections seemed sub-par. Since I'm not sure what cheeses they were it's hard to say where they came from or what exactly they were. I will note that the biscotti on the plate was very good though!
So for the main course I ordered one of my favorite brunch items, eggs benedict. I thought they were very good. The only thing I'd change is the english muffin. It was very thin and I would have liked one that gave a better base to all the other goodness on top. But I thought the bacon, eggs and hollondaise sauce was excellent. But, again, another issue one could find is that it was a small portion. It was enough for me because I wasn't starving, and we had the cheese plate, but I did think it was small.
To sum it up, it was up and down. Our server was friendly enough, other than the misstep with the cheese plate (obviously not a huge deal). I would absolutely come back and hope they just keep trying to improve on things to make it a better place!
