| - I've been here for brunch and more recently, for dinner.
For brunch:
They have the classic choices, "healthy" choices, omelettes, and the more enticing section...."Our Signature Dish". I like choosing from here because it gives me a better idea of Brownstone can do differently. I wanted to get the Spinach Souffle, but this was sadly sold out. Good sign? I'll bookmark that for next time. Instead, I got the La Casserola, because anything that includes "bacon","sausage","hollandaise" and "scrambled eggs" sounds like a winner to me.
La Casserola was served with some fresh fruit, small garden salad, and in a hot casserole plate. I thought it was quite delicious - there was some sort of crumbly, crispy SOMETHING on top that was just amazing. I'd put that on top of anything, and make a meal out of it. Also ordered a caesar for $5, and this made for a solid 3.5 to 4 star brunch experience.
For dinner:
I came on a Friday night, when it was Steak night. I ordered the Junior top sirloin for $16, which comes with soup or salad. I ordered the salad, but my friend ordered the soup which was a chicken minestrone. Note - for some reason when we asked what soup they had, the server seemed unable to recall. They really need to brush up on that a bit.
Steak itself was a small 6oz steak, which for me is a perfect portion. It came with an assortment of veggies, and you can choose the sauces (red wine + fig was my pick!) The salad was sizeable, but not filling - all green, all leaves.
We had a bit of a problem with the bill, mainly because the server brought us individual beers rather than the requested pitcher - he then said he will just give us the quantity that we would have gotten in a pitcher, and charge us for the pitcher - didn't happen. He charged for all individual beers, which was at least $10 more than a pitcher.
Overall, dinner was less impressive.
