| - I had a hunch I'd like this brunch a bunch! And I did!
Met up with a few friends recently for a lazy Sunday brunch. The interior is cozy, inviting and comfortable. Notes of dark wooden trim, intricately painted tall coffered ceilings & walls. Seating can be selected from intimate booths, high top tables or at the bar.
Being a bar, we had the luxury of ordering Bloody Mary's or Mimosa's. Everyone at the table opted for the Bloody Mary's which came adorned with a celery stalk and a lime wedge. Hints of Worcestershire Sauce, Tabasco, salt, pepper and of course Vodka were all evident. Smooth yet not too spicy. An appropriate way to begin the brunch.
The menu appeared quite inspired and refreshingly creative. If you're looking for a typical bacon and eggs scrambler, you won't find that here. The menu instead offered Texas French Toast schmered with cream cheese and topped with seasonal fruit, Omelets and Frittatas of various varieties, Pot Roast Hash, Eggs Benedict with a twist (steak instead of Canadian bacon) and more.
After much debate, I chose the "combo" which included a serving of the Eggs Benedict with Steak along with a serving of the French Toast. Both were, well, for a lack of a better term.... AMAZING!
While the service and speed at which orders come out of the kitchen could probably use improving on, I didn't seem to mind. Yes, it took longer than one would generally be accustomed to and it was pretty busy for a Sunday, but when it comes down to it, there's really no need to be in a rush on a Sunday. That's what this day is all about. Relaxing and unwinding from a long weekend. And I can't think of a better place to accomplish that than Sunday Brunch at the West End Tavern.
