My apologies for not writing this review earlier, but you can thank me now. I have had the pleasure of dining at The House Brasserie on more than a handful of times during brunch, lunch and dinner. When I find a new place that I obsess about, I find myself making up reasons to return and the holidays provided just the perfect excuse!
This is an old house that has been converted into a restaurant. You will feel like you have been transported out of Arizona. I am already thinking of throwing a baby / wedding shower on the beautiful patio.
I will start with brunch, the brunch menu is limited at this point but the staff said Chef Carter plans to add more selections. But heck, I do not need more selections. I dined with 2 friends and we started with the family style marscapone eggs. These eggs were exceptionally tasty and fluffy and serve with warm baguette on the side. The highlight tho was the crepe. This should come as no surprise since the chef said his first job in France was as a creperie. The crepe was filled with marscapone with just the right amount of sweetness and topped with an assortment of fresh warm berries. I begged the manager to add this to there dessert menu so I could indulge more often.
I have had the pleasure of dining at The House for lunch a couple of times, an absolutely charming place to enjoy and leisurely lunch on the patio. Luckily I have dined with friends who do not mind sharing a bite of there meal. I have been impressed with all of the items. So far I have tried the turkey, pastrami, chicken parm, shaved pork belly and the double burger. All of these sandwiches are served with outstanding crinkle fries. The standout sandwich was the shaved pork belly BUT you really cannot go wrong with any of the selections from my experience.
On to dinner, where to begin... I definitely recommend starting with one of the amazing homemade soups and salads. I love the kale salad. Then you can go in either directions and try a bunch of share plates or order a entree. I have done them all but whatever I order I an sure to get the kale salad and popcorn bacon grits; simply divine.
See you again soon House Brasserie!! I love you
