| - I would like to give Hula the bar (and place for burgers) 5 stars, but Hula the brunch spot, 3.
I have always been served a strong snd affordable drink here, and the bloody mary was no exception, but it was a little watery and could have used a celery stalk. Though for only $5, I shouldn't complain. I got a little buzz, and that's admirable in a bloody mary.
I ordered the special omelet, which this weekend featured shrimp and a grilled mix of peppers and onions.
The good: the portions were healthy and the eggs had a good "fried in butter" flavor. The shrimp were perfect, not at all dry or bland.
The hasbrowns, however, were pretty oily and otherwise unremarkable. Next time I would probably sub for Hawaiian toast and fruit.
The omelet had a sweet sauce. The server said it was mango, I believe. Regardless, it was distracting and didn't add to the eggs well at all.
Otherwise, the crowd was lively and personable, if a little over-tanned and "out to be seen." just like the other places on this block, it is loud, so don't come for romance or a lounge scene. And unlike most spots that could be described as "trendy" the staff here is approachable and laid-back.
I was stoked for another breakfast spot in the hood, but would probably return to Maizie's next time.
Luckily, there's always after dark. The nighttime scene here is great, and I definitely think they do a better burger than their neighbor.
