| - We chose to do the prix fixe brunch: $29 for a cocktail, an appetizer, and an entree. Based on the regular prices of cocktails and entrees, the brunch at Eleven is a steal. I left 100% happy and gluttonously full.
A few negatives: Parking is either $5 for valet or $5 for the lot across the street. The price for two cocktails at the bar was a steep $24. We had to wait 15 minutes for a table I reserved a week prior that was on the second floor and had no visible reason to keep us waiting.
Back to the glowing food review...
I'm not sure I've ever had a brunch this tasty before. From the berry jam and whipped honey butter to hot, flaky pastries to grilled sticky to beignets with raspberry and Meyer lemon sauces to smoked pork huevos rancheros (lentils, goat cheese, tomatillo salsa = better than any preparation I had while living in Arizona for six years) - every bite I took was unique, delicious, and memorable. If I hadn't been stuffed to the gills, then I would have ordered everything again and eaten another round of brunch.
Other than Casbah, I'm not a huge fan of big Burrito Restaurant Group's restaurants. I think they are mostly over priced and underwhelming; however, Eleven delivers on pretty much every level: ambiance, quality and execution, service, and overall experience. I intend to save up some "fun" money to go back for dinner :)
