| - We went to the Urban Tap this past Sunday for Brunch. I LOVE brunch... The only early meal that's not only acceptable to booze, but encouraged! After searching a few other Brunch stops we agreed we were intrigued by their menu. What initially was going to be a group brunch turned into an intimate meal with my husband and friend Chelsea S in the good ole Saaahside.
Parking here was so convenient, something not to be taken for granted in the South Side. There is a lot basically right next to the restaurant that is free on Sundays. We arrived shortly after noon, the atmosphere was very nice, modern, and I absolutely loved the open windows at the front of the place giving it a lovely airy feeling on a beautiful pre-autumn day. I already cheated, as I usually do, and studied the menu online prior to brunch so I was pretty set on what I was going to order, as was the hubs. Please note, the menu provided online is not exactly correct and does need updated. For instance, they no longer offer bottomless mimosas. You can order a carafe for $10.00 which gives you about 5-6 glasses. I also noticed their online menu mentions pork belly in a few dishes but their actual menu has no such reference. All was ok, as we order a carafe of mimosas which turned into 3 carafes before we concluded. I chose the Breakfast Pierogie Sauté, as the H got the Eggs Benedict two ways. Both dishes online said "pork belly" but in house it was I believe sausage in mine and a cured ham in his.
The wait staff was pleasant, efficient, and never let us wait long for service. Our food came out in a reasonable time, actually almost perfect for brunch meaning not too quick, but not too long, so we had time to chat and drink and enjoy the leisure of Sunday Brunch like one should. When our meals were served they did not disappoint. My sauté as I can detail contained a type of hash mixed sauté veg and sausage, with a nice balance of sweet and heat, topped with two plump pillow pierogies, laying underneath two sunny side up eggs finally topped with some mustard. The richness of the egg yolk when cut through rolled throughout the dish coating all elements that lay beneath. It was quite delectable, perfect portion, at a very reasonable price. I tried the eggs benedict and it was also really good, but I would have liked more hollandaise as it was mostly drizzled on the eggs. The cornbread base was unique. Never had a benny prepared like that. Again very distinctive and original.
We stayed for a couple hours enjoying our food and drinks, actually long enough that many people were filtering in for the lunch fare. We noticed many other dishes coming out that looked amazing and smelled even better. I think I will have to come back here to try their other menus soon...
