| - A last brunch is way more important than a last supper, and the Inn on Coventry proved to be a perfect pick for my last brunch in CLE (at least for now).
After parking (free on Sundays!) I headed in and was greeted immediately by the hostess. There were several tables available, and she was kind enough to let me choose one of the 2-toppers by the front window. Just because I'm eating alone doesn't mean I have to be relegated to a cramped table in the back :)
I already knew I wanted something that included both eggs and home fried potatoes, and I was trying to decide between several omelets and eggs benedict. I usually try and make healthy choices when I visit brunch places (egg white omelets, low-carb, or splitting with friends), but today was a day for gluttony. In addition to the everyday menu, they also had a menu specific to today with what they were offering. After a little waffling and asking the waitress for recommendations, I decided on the Eggs Benedict.
I was not disappointed (see the "before" and "after" pictures I added for this visit). Everything was the perfect temperature when it arrived, and I quickly dug in. The creamy tang of the Hollandaise sauce, paired with a salty slice of Canadian bacon and the crunchy goodness of the toasted English Muffin below made for one tasty bite! A few times I was even able to cram some home fried potatoes onto a single fork when I went for a mouthful, which just made it even more delicious.
The waitress was super-efficient, refilling my water in a timely manner, and bringing my check right as I finished my last taste of omelet. If you're looking for a solid brunch spot on the East Side that warms both the soul and the stomach, give Inn on Coventry a gander!
