| - My boyfriend and I came to Heritage Tavern for brunch on Saturday after the farmer's market around the Capital building, and I was surprised it was mostly empty around 12:30pm. Maybe we missed the rush or it's a little hidden a block off the square . . . either way, it worked out for us. The hostess asked if we wanted to sit in the front or in the back where it was quiet, and we opted for the back. We were promptly sat next to a table of 3 extremely loud guys. Luckily they were just finishing up and left shortly after we were seated, because the tables are pretty close together.
This is one of those places were everything on the menu sounded delicious, and it was a difficult decision on what to order. I got the Heritage Tavern Benedict, and my boyfriend got the Maple Lamb Sausage and Toast. My boyfriend loved his meal, and finished all of it. I was jealous because his came with some really yummy potatoes. I really enjoyed mine was well, although I wished afterwards I had picked something else. Turns out I don't like porchetta (my fault), but the rest of it was so yummy. I'd never even heard of fried poached eggs, but now I want to try to find them in Chicago. I wished it had come with a little green salad or potatoes or something, but I walked out stuff anyways (too many cheese samples at the Farmer's Market :) ).
If I lived in the area, I would definitely be back to try some other brunch menu items or dinner. Delicious coffee too!
