| - I'll start off by saying that this review is specifically about their (Saturday) brunch.
PROS
-Solid patio. We had a party of 8 and we comfortably sat at a hightop under an umbrella on their back patio. We lucked out with the weather and had a perfect sunny, 70 degree day. And bonus - you don't have to be super dressed up to feel at home here. Our group had just come from a yoga place and we had all of our gear on.
-Space. The back patio + inside + limited front patio adds up to be one enormous restaurant. If you have a large party, this is a great place for you. And if you are lucky, you can sit in one of the cabana-looking areas.
-Healthy and Accommodating Food. Soon after we sat down, our waitress mentioned that they had all non-GMO food and that they have options to accommodate many types of food allergies and diets (i.e. vegetarian, vegan, paleo, gluten-free, etc.).
-Beverage options for days. I got juice, the Greengo, and everyone was green with envy (ha, see what I did there). They had lots of other juice, smoothie, coffee, and of course, alcohol, options - the entire back page of the brunch menu was dedicated to it, plus a separate list for beer.
-Nitro Coffee. Apparently this was the big trend last year, but I am just now discovering this special brew. I actually didn't even order it - a friend did, I tried it and was immediately jealous. It was rich and creamy and buttery and amazing.
-Dog Friendly. Both inside and outside.
CONS
-No brunch reservations. Unfortunately, while there is a lot of space at the restaurant, if you have a big party, you may have to wait to be seated, since they don't take reservations for brunch. Bummer.
-Parking. If you are heading here on a Saturday after 9a, be prepared to be patient or walk. This is a busy area (West Side Market is a nearby neighbor) and parking can be tricky.
BOTTOM LINE
This should be on your summertime brunch check list. And don't forget to bring your pup!
