| - Breakfast!!! - from the awesome people that brought you The Tuck Shop. Ok so they serve lunch and dinner as well, but breakfast is the most important meal of the day!
Get there early and grab a table, inside or out. Pick out what you want and go to the counter and order. They'll bring it to you when it's ready. I like this style of restaurant, especially when I'm eating out with my dad (he thinks eating out means flirt with the servers). If you're boozing, it may be kind of annoying to keep going up and ordering and paying for each cocktail if you're using plastic.
Back to breakfast.... In true MB style, we decided to order half the menu, to be sure we're fairly judging the food. You can't order one dish and tell people it's good or bad. You truly have to order 5. Ok so my dad ordered the biscuits and grillades and I ordered the fritatta. We also got a side of the pastelito carne, patatas con queso, and cinnamon popovers. All so delicious.
My fritatta was savory yummmy but I liked my dad's biscuits better. Comforting biscuits with beef gravy, ahhhhhh. Almost like grandma made. Patatas con queso are bomb steak fries with cheese sauce. The pastelito carne are somewhat sweet, flaky pastries with ground beef in them. The cinnamon popovers were an amazing breakfast dessert mmmmmmmmm dipped in whiskey caramel sauce. If I wake up on the wrong side of bed, I foresee myself riding over to Astor House for a breakfast cocktail and cinnamon popovers. For reals.
So after our 5 entrees, my dad's screwdriver (made with Tito's vodka yeah!), and my extra fantastic without sugar or cream iced coffee, my tab was about $35. "Heck yes!" my wallet screamed. My dad said later on, "They have really nice people at that restaurant by your house. They really know how to cook too." Dad's a believer, I am too. I can't wait until it cools off to enjoy the beautiful patios.
