| - Despite this place being open for years and getting rave reviews for their brunch, I never made it a point to check it out until recently.
My husband and I, with toddler in tow, decided to visit Mildred's for brunch on Family Day. We called ahead of time and found out they didn't take brunch reservations, so we arrived shortly after they opened and were seated immediately. Not only did they have a highchair for the toddler, they had ones with trays, which is exceedingly rare in this city but ever so useful.
The ambience was lovely and I appreciated that the tables weren't crammed too close together. Service was amazingly friendly and upbeat, stopping regularly to "chat" with our kid and offer her crayons, etc.
Coffee was decent, spicy Caesars very spicy (almost TOO spicy for me) and the food was delicious. I had the Huevos Monty (black beans and cheddar in tortillas, topped with eggs, salsa, guac and sour cream), which tasted great, though a little heavy on the sour cream (I just pushed it to the side). My husband had the Big Brunch Skillet (pulled pork with black bean and potato hash and eggs) which was also awesome. For the kiddo we were able to order a single buttermilk pancake with all the toppings for around $4. Probably should have gone for the full order as hubby and I may not have bogarted more than a little taste...
We did have to wait a little long for our food but they made it up to us by not charging for a take-away order of the currant scones (which were also delicious, especially with the apple preserves and whipped butter that came along side).
Definitely the best overall brunch experience I've had recently, so I highly recommend it and will return.
