| - it's mother's day, and i wanted something a little swanky for my mom. she's rad, and she deserves a nice brunch. fred's definitely fit the bill.
the decor, with it's dazzling wood, beautiful booths, round tables and comfy, round-ish chairs was impressive. everything was cushy and chic. it's a small place, with impeccable service and a fantastic menu. everyone except g opted for brunch. for something like $28 per person you got a beverage (mimosa, bloody mary, sparkling wine or soda), entree, side salad and a shared basket of muffins, scones and pastries. they looked so awesome, and g said they were (i couldn't indulge ... this low carb thing sucks sometimes!). everyone agreed brunch was lovely - eggs really do taste better when they're locally sourced and cage free. my omlette was excellent - spinach, cheddar and 3 eggs. the home fries were crispy and well seasoned (well, the two bites i ate - again, this low carb thing sucks!). g had a turkey club, which comes with the crust cut off - i thought that was a cute touch. the turkey was the kind you have for thanksgiving, not the standard chopped and pressed lunch meat crap. everyone was drooling over his fries, which he gladly shared.
the only hiccup during the meal was g's iced tea. it came out more milky than transparent and he said it tasted odd. the server noticed it when she came back to the table, commenting that it looked "strange" and offered to bring him green tea instead. g's chill like that and accepted the green tea, but would have preferred a properly made iced tea. oh well.
our meal ended with our server presenting mom with a special goody bag of beauty samples. it was stuffed with great stuff that i'm sure she'll be addicted to shortly - sorry dad! ;)
4 stars to you fred. you deserve it.
