Dinner, Lunch and Sunday Brunch are all good.
Been awhile since we have been here so my wife and I decided to visit the Sunday Brunch again.
Church ended at 10:30 and by the time we collected everything and drove over it was 10:50. They don't open for Sunday Brunch till 11:00 so we waited a few minutes and walked in. Almost perfect timing.
We were the first couple in and were immediately seated in a booth down the first aisle. 131 tends to have lower lighting that I like and with all of the dark, wood it can be a bit hard to read the menu. To make matters worst, shortly after placed our order, the closed all of the blinds and the dark got darker.
Both of us started out with coffee which was excellent. Bold and Rich with excellent flavor.
Menu is creative and well executed and both my wife an I opted for one of the Benedict's. She ordered the Steak Benedict while I went for the Crab Cake Benedict. . Both came with White Cheddar Grits and Grilled Asparagus as well.
While we waited, our server made sure that we did not want for anything. Our cups and water glasses were constantly full. When my wife excused herself to go the restroom, she left her napkin on her seat. The served came over and picked it up and refolded it for here. A mark of a good restaurant that pays attention to details and to their customers.
Both dishes came out in a timely fashion. I'm a fan of presentation and plating which is almost a lost art but not here. Not only were the dishes appealing to the taste but also very visually appealing.
As for the entree itself, both were excellent. The Crab Benedict maintained the delicate flavor and texture of the crab cake and while I am not a fan or grits which is ironic since I am a Southerner, these grits were delicious and may make me a fan. Asparagus was excellent. Nice and tender with no hint of toughness.
My wife enjoyed here Steak Benedict as well. She ordered medium and she got a perfect medium with exactly the right amount of pink. Not dry and very flavorful as well.
Portion sizes were large. I am a gregarious eater and ended up leaving a small amount of grits and not because I did not like them but because I was sated. My wife ended up with a to go box which she had for lunch the next day. They call it a doggy bag but believe me, the Corgi lost out on this one.
Good place for quite dining in a relaxed atmosphere and what some would consider romantic.
Highly recomment
