| - Wanted to try somewhere new for brunch and this place had been on my radar for a while. Headed out with kids and a few friends to try it out. Just east of the Atwater market, it has a simple, fresh and slightly rustic decor with vintage kitchen implements on the walls. This is not one of those "eggs every way you can imagine and 47 varieties of waffles" kind of brunch place. The menu is short, only about 6 brunch items on offer, with the philosophy that it is best to do a few things very well. So it may not be the best choice if you like a lot of variety at brunch. Also not the best for younger children as there is no kids menu and the menu is fairly sophisticated. My 13 year old was happy with her banana chocolate French toast, the only sweet item on the menu. I had the smoked fish, which was a delicious piece of freshly smoked salmon, with eggs and apple slaw. Baby was content to gum away on the accompanying toast. Wonderful fresh ingredients, well prepared and just the right portion size to leave you full but not stuffed. Also had a very good chai latte made from scratch. Service was friendly and attentive. It was slow-ish, but in a good "it's Saturday brunch, relax and take your time" kind of way. They also do dinner, will have to check it out!
