Went here for Sunday brunch. Started off with a grapefruit mimosa. Yummy! As I always do with any new place I asked what the bartender recommended on the menu. The advice was the bennys or the southern fried chicken and waffles. I'm into rancheros right now so decide to go with the Drake rancheros and chicken and waffles.
Wow the fried chicken was cooked to perfection - super crispy skin with tender juicy meat. I was very impressed with the waffle too. What I didn't really like was the syrup or creme fraiche. There was so much syrup that I suggest ordering it on the side. The creme fraiche did nothing for me.
I would say this is one of the worst rancheros in the city. It was missing something. It needed a meat like sausage or a carb. The tosatos were too light for the sauce. It came with 2 poached eggs but it was easily missed under all that tomato sauce. I felt like I was eating salsa and chips. I ended up eating it with some of the fried chicken and that made it better.
When the guy sitting next to me at the bar got his food, it wasn't what he had ordered. They offered to take it back to correct it but he kept it. Guess he watched that movie Waiting.
I would give this place another try but never by my choice. I would like to try the Benny and the Drake ceasar... and have another grapefruit mimosa. Did I already say how yummy that was?
