I celebrated an excellent birthday brunch at Fire on the East Side. I made reservations a few days before for 8 people, but in the end, only 4 confirmed. This wasn't a problem for the staff. I was pleased to see a table ready for 8, but they adjusted very quickly for us.
We waited a bit for a waiter, but after placing our orders, we didn't have to wait too long for food.
Cornbread-based bennies?! Why hadn't I ever tried that before? It was awesome.
I can tell you that 3 out of the 4 of us didn't get food poisoning later that day, and while I can't automatically blame the huevos rancheros (because 2 ppl ordered it), my friend swears that it was from brunch. yikes.
