| - I like Maizie's, used to love it though. I have only been there for brunch and a couple of years ago I raved about the place. I don't want to go into too much detail, but the brunch menu will not disappoint. The corned beef eggs benedict was just perfectly cooked and presented. I don't eat bread, so I swapped out extra hash browns for the muffin and got no hassle at all.
The reason I decided to write this review is because of the god awful bloody mary. The recipe for the Maizie's spicy bloody mary must go something like this; small glass mostly filled with ice cubes and water, a dash of V8, a handful of black pepper and maybe a drop or two of watered down vodka or no vodka at all. Each slurp on the straw was a mouthful of cold watery black pepper! I did not smell, taste or detect any alcohol. or tomatoe juice for that matter Just disgusting. I think a spicy bloody mary should be more opaque than clear, it should look red or reddish, it should taste like tomato and hot peppers, it should come with a stalk of celery and a few dashes of black pepper, lastly, there should be enough vodka in the drink so I leave the place a little less sober than when I walked in. The glass was pretty small to begin with and so packed full of ice, it really couldn't hold much more than half a jigger anyway, so would it kill you guys to use a heavier hand with your rail liquor? Such a shame.
