| - Fame has been on my list for a number of years now. Unfortunately, when my girlfriend and I want breakfast, we always seem to skip these café-style places - and I'm not entirely sure why. I say it's because of their hours, although realistically, the hours are the same as any other breakfast/lunch joint that closes in the afternoon.
I ended up visiting Fame on a whim during a lunch break with a couple of work colleagues. Some quick research on Yelp made it obvious that the default recommendation appears to be the Croque Madame, which is a thick slick of bread that is topped with an egg (over easy in my case), ham, béchamel sauce, and gruyere cheese. The dish comes with a side of mixed greens.
Honestly, I was actually very impressed with this pretty straight-forward creation. It was nicely balanced, with nothing completely overpowering the combination. The bread itself was very good quality, with a nice toasted crunch and satisfying depth.
Their online menu says that they will have dinner coming soon, although I'm not entirely sure if that statement is current or still in their future plans.
Based on my single experience, I'd give them a solid four stars. Once I can drag my girlfriend here during a Sunday breakfast run, I intend to do some experimenting with the menu to see what else they have to offer and will update this review accordingly.
