| - Brunch is a wonderful, fantastic thing. And the brunch at Smash lives up to those standards. Service was rocky to start but gradually improved. My bf was trying to get someone's attention for awhile (5-10 mins) but we were ignored by 3 different people even though we definitely made eye contact with them. When someone finally managed to track down our server (we had to ask twice before someone came), everything was fine after that. The food, as always, was very well done.
For a prix fix price of $20, you get a brunch entree, a dessert, and a tea/coffee. I thought this was a fantastic deal and while their portions were not the biggest for some items, I actually preferred it this way. Eggs benny were very rich, so I welcomed the more reasonable plating sizes (though a guy friend of mine did want more). The meatloaf looked quite large though, so that might be something to consider if you're extra hungry.
I got the crab cake eggs benny that came with a side of "sm'hash browns", which were essentially home fries. I thought it was all very delicious. The crab cakes were tasty and the hollandaise was a great accompaniment to it. The home fries were well seasoned, which is a bonus since side potatoes can be quite bland. A friend of mine was also very happy with the soup of the day (potato/bacon/cheddar).
For dessert, I got the fresh berries with whipped cream. Nothing special, but it was very refreshing after a heavy entree. Friends got the cheesecake, which had a nice caramel flavour. Some of us also got Sangrias, which were $5 on Sundays. They weren't very boozy, but had lots of fruits, which is the way I like it for brunch.
Smash is a great choice for comfort food and good quality. They deliver consistently and are reasonably priced for the food they serve. As mentioned in my previous review, service can be more attentive but once you do have their attention, things go pretty smoothly.
