| - Definitely an interesting Brunch spot. Being tucked away in a hotel I didn't know what to expect, especially given that there was the hotel's pleasant looking breakfast lounge next door, but Food Fight has another winner on their hands here.
My wife and I went during peak brunch hours and it was busy with a variety of demographics, with everyone having a good time and lots of smiling faces. We sat at the bar due to a long wait for a table, and it paid off because our bartenders were great (more on this in a bit). We tried the bloody mary which I thought tasted good and unique, but more of the classy variety rather than food buffet.
Then I saw the donuts. Boy they are a marvelous site. I'm not really a donut person, but these looked delicious and I immediately ordered one before my concious could say otherwise. It was really really good, chocolate with sprinkled nuts, and you could tell it was freshly prepared that morning. They have quite a few options, so absolutely indulge before your meal. It's not greenbush level, but still a taste-tay treat.
World Cup Soccer was on TV at the bar, with just enough volume to hear and have conversation. Job well done, an easy but often overlooked mission to accomplish.
For our entrees we ordered the Chicken and Biscuit with Gravy and the Chilaquiles. The former was nice and crumbly with a loveable gravy to dip in that wakes up your tastebuds nicely. Sadly, the Chilaquiles had a really poor taste, almost like an overdone Mole sauce that was over everything. My wife really didn't like it, and I had a bite and thought the same. Both of us love Mexican food but this was just too much neo-fusion try-hard for us.
Everyone hates to return a dish. I rarely have ever done it, with the last time being about 3 years ago at Ha Long Bay which caused a manager to rudely berate us, try and charge us for two meals, and make a scene in the restaurant. Mind you this is with a plate with literally one bite taken out of it. Anyways, Bassett Street Brunch Club's bartender was a saint and deserves a medal for how she handled the situation. "No problem", all smiles (genuine), friendly conversation, quickly swapped it out for a fresh dish (the spring break diet which was somewhat healthier and absolutely amazing), didn't charge us for EITHER meal, and offered my wife a free drink. THAT is how you save a bad situation, get a huge tip, and win a customer over. Congratulations, we will be back again, A+.
Prices in general are reasonable, and they have a good menu selection. The parking ramp is kind of a nightmare and beware of long waits, but otherwise this is worth putting on your shortlist.
