| - This restaurant has been on our list for a little while as it is part of the Big Burrito Group. My husband and I took my mother-in-law for her birthday for brunch to try something unique. I was intrigued with the idea of paying a flat rate for the meal and having a few courses in return. A concept I have read about, but have not partaken in.
We arrived close the end of the brunch and I thought for sure we may not be given a table. To my surprise, we were ushered into the Tavern side of the building and we could choose our own seat. I loved the atmosphere -
slightly romantic, however the use of the old garage doors was superb. Sunday afternoon football was displayed on the televisions behind the magnificent bar which was nice. My only complaint was that due to so many windows on the exterior of the building, the restaurant was quite chilly.
A young man greeted us and explained the ordering process. I ended up selecting Coconut and Sunflower Seed Granola for an appetizer, and a Prosciutto Cotto, Caramalized Onions, and Cheddar Omelet with a side of orange juice (we could have opted for cocktails that was included in the price but went for the juices instead). What I loved about this place is everything is FRESH! Instantly, I knew that the orange juice was freshly squeezed. Prior to receiving our meals, we were served a basket with an array of baked goods - crossiants, blueberry muffins, cornbread, and biscuits - all fresh and made on site with a side of raspberry jam and honey butter, also made at the restaurant. I was thoroughly impressed with all of the food. My omelet came with a freshly made sausage patty that was close to being the star of my meal. Everything was delicious and I would not hesitate to return here for a special occasion.
Overall, this was a wonderful experience. My husband and mother-in-law enjoyed their food and juices almost as much as I did. We did not leave hungry. The price for the brunch was fair considering the amount of food we were served. Our waiter was very nice, slow at getting us our check and returning it to us, but nonetheless, he knew his stuff and was very pleasant. The prices meals other than the brunch seem expensive but if everything is as fresh and well presented as it was for brunch, it might be worth a try.
