| - Came here for brunch on a Sunday afternoon and my boyfriend and I were both thoroughly impressed.
Service was attentive (I think the owner was our server and he was chatty and very nice).
We both started with a spicy Caesar, made with in house infused jalapeƱo vodka and served with a spicy pickled green bean garnish, and it was tasty.
I ordered the eggs Benny with smoked salmon and my boyfriend ordered the BLAT sandwich (BLT with half an avocado and lemon aioli). We were served a really nice salad which we weren't expecting. It was delicious, tangy and spicy with a crispy preserved lemon on top. Couldn't figure out what the vinaigrette was, it had a lovely complex flavor, it was delicious.
The eggs Benny looked small at first, but it ended up being just the right amount. Plus, the Hollandaise was awesome. Couldn't figure out why it was green until the server told us it was infused with basil. De-lish. Apparently they regularly play with the Hollandaise so that you can't get bored of it. The BLAT sandwich was huge and apparently very tasty. The wedge fries served with it were really nice, crispy golden on the outside and then soft, almost like mashed potatoes, on the inside. The hash served with the eggs benny was good, but mostly when it was dipped in a mix of yolk and delightful green Hollandaise (otherwise I found it a bit too caramelized for my taste, but that's just my opinion).
Prices were quite reasonable given the quality of the food. Eggs Benny: $10, BLAT $9, Caesars $6. Jazz music made for a really nice brunch atmosphere.
Will definitely come back. Had a hard time choosing from the menu (they have a Mac and cheese with black truffle!) and there a lot of other dishes I'd like to try
They've been open under a year, closed once for renos and plan to close once more to finish work. Decor is warm industrial with an open kitchen. Service is friendly and attentive, and again the food is great. Definitely worth checking out.
