Though no fault of E2...it must be said that if there is something to spoil a dining experience it's sitting beside a woman displaying a complete lack of self awareness, talking throughout the meal about herself so loudly that it was impossible to hear anything else except her incessant, irritating voice. Exhausting. Thankfully the interesting flavor combinations of the food saved the day. The slightly burned donuts achieved a measure of success with raspberry glaze + lime zest. And the seasonal omelette and frittata really hit the mark. The coffee was surprisingly subpar. Ultimately why E2 rises above the brunch competition is their well balanced flavors + attention to detail. It's cash only and hopefully next time...'inside voices' only!
