| - I was pretty sure that no place in the 'Burgh would supplant Park Bruges as my favorite brunch spot, but Meat & Potatoes makes it close.
I love the layout of the restaurant - outdoor seating, but indoors the center of the room is a large bar, with the tables in the periphery. To top it off, the chairs have high backs, and are the most comfortably dining chairs I've sat in. That sounds stupid, but it was enough for me to notice.
The food was fantastic. There is a nice touch to start, in that they bring an oversized, fresh, blueberry muffin. This muffin has the perfect, sugary and crunchy top. And definitely share the short ribs hash for the table. We ordered nearly ever brunch entree, and everyone was happy: Pub Burger, Fried Chicken and Cheddar Jalapeno Waffles, a BPBLT (a gourmet BLT with pastrami belly). The portions are quite sizeable, so bring your appetite.
Service was equally great. I always enjoy it when the staff are also foodies, and get excited about the menu items, have actually tried the menu and drinks, and offer educated recommendations.
I'm definitely looking forward to coming back for a dinner service.
