So I'll start off with saying that being from Texas we drink with our brunch. If we are going out to brunch we are having cocktails that being said my initial impression of Alton's was disappointing because that's what I went expecting. However that was quickly rectified when I discovered you cannot get any alcohol before noon on Sundays. The overall opinion of the food was great. We did hit a few bumps along the way but hey I am willing to forgive just about anything for good food.
The other half got the Prime Rib Hash and I myself got the Braised Lamb. I am sad to say that they do not serve breakfast pastries with your brunch. Could it be another Texas thing I wonder?? Anyway moving on, KP's p.r.h. was delicious and tasty. When it came out was steaming hot and very aromatic mine however was cold, the egg was hot however the hash cold and I don't mean a little cool I mean cold as in been in the fridge cold... KP said this was due to the fact that I scarred our server when I discovered that I couldn't get a Mimosa. As a very good manager does she stopped by and checked to make sure the food was up to our standards. KP informed her mine was cold and it was sent back (not going to lie I was nervous. Being from the kitchen I know how frustrating it is to have a dish sent back.) However the second was amazing!! The grits had not only great flavor but texture as well. Salt was not an item I required which by the way says volumes. My egg perfectly cook and the hollandaise nice and creamy.
So looking past not getting my Mimosa, the breakfast pastries and my original cold dish (I think I agree with Kendall the kitchen was paying me back for the Mimosa) cause lets face it those are definitely things I can live without it was an overall good dining experience, and I do recommend dining there. We will have to try dinner next.
