| - Review is for brunch. The restaurant was pretty full at 11am Saturday, but they had open seating around a large bar. Bartenders were great and I swear one of them looked like tennis legend John McEnroe!
We ordered four dishes to share:
Escargot in Puff Pastry: These were incredibly good - just four bite-sized pieces unfortunately. You would never know you're eating snails, so definitely newbie friendly.
Smoked Salmon: This dish was an assemble-yourself project. Lots of slices of smoked salmon, a small loaf of bread, pre-sliced, avocado, and cream cheese. You basically make your own sandwich. Pretty good - salmon was fresh, not "fishy."
Hunters Waffle: This savory dish has two perfectly poached eggs and some really good shredded duck confit - almost a play on a conventional Benedict.
Seasonal Fruit Platter: A surprisingly good appetizer that could double as a healthy dessert. Buckwheat sugar-coated beignets, a cake-like side of yogurt parfait with nuts and a sweet crust, and an assortment of fresh fruit including grapes, pineapples, figs, strawberry, and passionfruit! I liked the yogurt parfait the best - better than cheesecake!
Would definitely recommend this place for an early brunch or lunch!
