  • It's trying just a little too hard. It reminds me of Joe Beef in Montreal. The scene and the food are a just a touch TOO MUCH farm to table. Is that possible? Maybe. I get the whole rustic aesthetic. It's beautiful. But then the prices. Will people look back on our generation and laugh that we pay $25 for a brunch plate in an unfinished room with a half-painted wall and a door that's hanging sideways with cracked glass? Sometimes you have to laugh at fads. We had to enter the restaurant from a room that looked like it was just one step up from a hoarder's garage sale. The host guardedly barked "Are you here for something?" Well yes, maestro. Brunch. Jeesh. Hello to you too! Our waitress was beautiful and aloof, clad in Joe's Jeans and a cropped striped shirt that bared the tiniest swath of a toned waste. Her face was a perfect porcelain. At first I thought she was going to sell me makeup or designer clothing. But then, the descriptions of poached eggs, smoked caesars and foie gras lulled me back to the task at hand. The menu - only on the chalkboard, shockingly brief. Brevity is the soul of wit, yes, but I wasn't laughing here. Benedict, eggs in a nest (a sweet potato nest and side salad...oh no), duck confit, bread pudding. Not a BAD selection by any means, but certainly quite limited and all selections between $15-25. Drinks at least $10. Even for a mimosa. Overall, it was a decent brunch in terms of the quality. The mother and child reunion had its highs and lows: the high was the fried duck egg. Gorgeous egg yolk with the perfect amount of runny vs structure. The low was the MINISCULE piece of foie gras, followed by the overcooked duck confit. The benedict was better, but not spectacular. So-so. And with the high price tag, I'd probably forego brunch at this place again in the future and hang back at a place where the floorboards are finished. Just kidding. But seriously. Sometimes a theme goes too far.
