| - I haven't been here in almost 22 years, but it was just as good as I remember.
We went for brunch without reservations. This gave us seats in the Saloon which I actually like better. A little more intimate setting and I think I was able to hear a little better because of the wide open space in the dining area. We didn't wait more than 20 min to be seated. You may want to make a reservation.
Had a Bloody Mary at the bar first. I wish I would have asked for a drink menu as they had a few different variations on the Bloody Mary. All in all it was a good traditional version. Nice beer selection and extensive liquor and wine selection.
The brunch had everything. Everything. Price fairly at $27 it offered hot breakfast items: eggs, omelettes to order, bacon, sausage, potatoes, Mac n cheese, waffles to order with bananas foster, you name it. They have homemade donuts, too.
Cold bar with shrimp, mussels, assorted salads and salmon 10 different ways. My favorite which was there 22 years ago....smoke blue fish pate. This is sooooo good. I could have just had the cold bar and dessert.
My mom and I got a waffle with bananas foster /ice cream for dessert...and then of course picked up a sticky bun and a couple truffles, too for sharing. My dad loved the truffles! They were delish!
The decor--stained glass is remarkable. I know there's a greater history with the windows being painted, but I don't know all the correct details. In any sense, just looking at the place is beautiful.
Definitely stuffed afterwards. Took a full on Sunday nap. I'll be back, but only after o fast for a few days.
