| - Sunday brunch on a lawn overlooking a stream in a rural town....of course it is 5 stars. In all honesty, they would have had to actively work to screw this up.
Brunch on the lawn was amazing. We arrived around 10:30 and stayed for 2 hours, taking our sweet time - and they never once hinted at rushing us.
So, like I said, they would have had to try to screw up the rating just from the atmosphere alone. The coffee was excellent, no complaints. But the food, dear lord.
GF ordered a bruschetta sandwich and for fun put bacon on it. The chevre melted beautifully, the bread was hearty and perfectly toasted and the basil was obviously as fresh as it gets. I am not sure what bacon they use but it is thick cut and cooked to a perfect compromise - crispy without losing all of its fat and deliciousness. The side salad was light and amazing. I know all of this because I was actively working to steal everything on her plate.
We split a bowl of tomato soup with blue cheese - it did not last long. Spicy without being hot - it had more flavor in it than a bloody mary. Simply fantastic.
I had the sweet potato quiche, which as the least favorite items, was still better than 95% of brunch items usually found (at other places). In comparison to the soup and bruschetta sandwich, it was awful. In comparison to brunches at other restaurants, I would order it a dozen times over. It was great - just not nearly as great as the other items.
As we drive past this place 2-3 times a month to visit family in Green County, we will be visiting again, without a doubt. The only thing is that I will likely not bring the kids - not because it is not kid friendly but because they just would not appreciate the quality of the food and the serenity of the space.
