| - Not knowing this was a locavore eatery, and not being well-versed on the topic, I probably seemed slightly daft to those who were running this lovely joint, and seemed to be the owners. Menu had enough items to be interesting, but not too long to be overwhelming. I had the special, a seared brisket sandwich with old white cheddar and pickles, and what seemed like grainy mustard. Brisket flavour was good but was marbled with fat; I ended up opening the sandwich and cutting off the fat. For some reason I thought brisket was a large piece of roasted meat that was then shaved into thin slices. This was more of a patty of brisket. Nonetheless, good flavour, fresh sides, and very salty hot canoe potatoes with a shaving of parm cheese. My friend had the eggs benedict with chicken and canoe potatoes- she enjoyed it. In a city obsessed with brunch, I was surprised to find the restaurant with only a few tables on a Sunday, though it was the long weekend. I would return for sure, if anything to see the rotation of specials not normally on the menu. Special teas available by the pot are also a hit.
