| - I came to this wonderful restaurant for Sunday brunch with my parents, who were visiting. As soon as I walked in, I loved the vibe and decorations. Despite being packed, the restaurant felt spacious and all the employees were friendly.
We ordered the beignets and they were great. It had the right amount of density but airiness. I would have liked a touch more sweetness, but it was otherwise awesome and freshly baked. The creme fraiche that came with the beignets were the highlight and really helped accentuate the texture.
I liked the mismatched mugs/cups that the coffee came in, and I appreciated how our server kept refilling (old school diner style) our cups. Of course, I had to order a mimosa and that was obviously very good. The cups tied in with the whimsical nature of the establishment. We ordered the salmon benedict. Now, this dish was awesome. The eggs were perfectly poached and the side of potatoes really stole the show. I couldn't stop eating them.
The pork belly benedict was also delicious, but I think my father found it a bit too heavy due to the biscuit base. However, the pork belly was perfectly cooked and had the right amount of saltiness and an element of sweetness to it too.
Finally, I ordered the special omelet, namely because it had lamb bacon on it. The eggs were airy and fluffy, and they were wrapped around several avocado stalks. The side of freshly cut fruit was a perfect complement.
Overall, this is a wonderful establishment in Cleveland and the farm-to-table concept is well executed. I would totally visit here again!
