It pains me to rate this place only 2 stars, but the best thing about this place is the service (prompt & tag-team) and the setting (cool, funky, and laid-back).
Maybe just today, because I've enjoyed other meals here (love the kale caesar salad!), but the brunch was meh.
The Ballina Benny ($18) was boring and bland. If I'd had it for $10 in a small town diner, it would be fine. But not at a refined, trendy place. Nothing interesting or exciting about the dish. Instead of Hollandaise sauce they used a tasteless white cream sauce. The smoked salmon was difficult to find under the white sauce on the white muffin. The fried potatoes were huge wedges with no seasoning. And the fruit was large chunks of honeydew melon, cantaloupe, and watermelon. All the cheapest fruits available. And also bland.
Skip brunch here and go to any diner - cheaper and basically the same experience.
