| - SUNDAY BRUNCH BUFFET
While there was nothing on this brunch menu that was the best, most interesting thing I've ever eaten, the food was solid and comforting and hit the spot. Overall, I was entertained, and that's worth a good rating for me.
SALAD - I know, boring, right? But the dressings were interesting and good. I enjoyed the lemon dill vinaigrette.
JALAPENO MAC AND CHEESE - nice! Stayed creamy even on the buffet. The jalapenos gave a bit of flavor.
ASIAGO GRITS - I couldn't taste any cheese, but the grits were perfectly cooked.
POTATO GRATIN - I thought everything on the buffet needed a good amount of salt added, but that was easy enough for me to do myself. The potatoes were what they were supposed to be. Thin layers of potato in a creamy sauce. Nothing earth shattering, but a nice staple.
BREADS - They keep a cranberry walnut bread, mini cranberry scone and nice sliced french bread on the buffet. This offering could have been greatly enhanced by adding some butter and jam. The french bread was good, but the scone was dry and hard and the cranberry walnut bread also tasted a bit dried out. Again, butter would have covered these issues.
PASTRIES - SO GOOD!! The mini lemon tarts were fabulous. Usually on tarts like that the dough is flavorless and often gets soggy, but this crust was perfectly sweet and crispy, and a nice foil to the tart lemon custard filling. Coconut macaroons were crispy and sweet - absolutely what they should be. Apple puff pastry was light and airy with a little crispiness to the flaky layers of dough and just enough filling to make it sweet and tasty.
CHOCOLATE WAFFLE - not totally sure this is worth the hype. The waffle itself was a bit soft and the chocolate flavor clearly comes from the chocolate syrup on top. The syrup was rich and dark tasting, and did make the waffle nice. But not nice enough for me to waste more than one bite on it.
EGGS & BACON - The eggs were perfectly soft and scrambled, but the bacon was super limp and soggy. Not ideal at all.
FRENCH TOAST - I'm not usually a fan, but surprisingly I enjoyed this french toast. Warning: it comes out completely soaked in syrup. We had two orders on our table. One order was perfect, the other tasted way too egg-y. But the delicious one was worth 4-5 stars.
MIMOSA - Strong and tasty and cheap! $3
SERVICE - A little spotty (not available) at times, but waiter was nice and pleasant.
ATMOSPHERE - I love the casual but pretty interior here. The buffet was a little painful to get to, as there was only one way to walk and that involved trying not to hit other diners heads or chairs and avoiding road block with another diner/waiter.
$20 Sunday Brunch buffet. A bit pricey for what you get, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
