I had heard a lot of mixed things about H4C from my culinary colleagues so I procrastinated making a visit. I wish I had gotten over the grape vine sooner and made this visit- brunch was wonderful this morning.
Calling in advance by only 45 minutes, we were still able to get seats at the bar and the chef graciously accommodated a vegan plate for my partner. They conjured up a beautiful mushroom and artichoke tartine with shaved raw almonds on top (resembling pecorino). Needless to say it was a hit. I ordered the swordfish gravlax benedict and was also really impressed. The avocado sauce had the perfect tanginess to match the fish, which was a beautiful grape colour. The grilled breads that accompanied it all were also great. Coffee and mimosas as well, were very on point.
The space I think is a little boring considering it's in a beautiful heritage building (an old bank perhaps?) but maybe that's only because it stands in the shadow of the food and exceptional service.
All in all, while definitely on the pricier range for brunch, was still very worth it.
