| - Finally came here after passing it by so many times and eyeing it. I went on a Saturday morning for their brunch menu (Sat & Sun, 9am-2pm) - prix fix at $20 (optional), it includes one entree, one dessert, and a coffe or a tea. However, after finishing my crab cakes benedict ($15 on its own), I opted out of the prix fix because I was too full from the entree and coffee (free refills!).
The crab cakes benedict comes with two poached eggs, crab cakes, hollandaise, pico de gallo, sm'hash browns and a bit of fruit (honeydew, pineapple, orange). While it was super filling, the taste didn't wow me as much I expected it to - the crab cakes were pretty good in flavour but everything was all a bit over-cooked - not to the point where I couldn't finish the meal, but enough that I didn't eat with my usual zeal.
My friend ordered their garden omelette ($13 alone, three eggs, peppers, onions, tomato, mushrooms, spinach, four cheese blend, sm'hash browns, toast, and a little bit of fruit) and she was satisfied and definitely full at the end.
Despite my slightly over-done meal, I'd definitely come here again - there are many delicious-sounding options plus the atmosphere is great - modern but homey, service is friendly and frequent, and there's plenty of seating. Brunch fills up really quick - while I didn't make reservations, I got lucky enough that I got seats a few minutes after I arrived - I recommend you definitely make reservations if you come for their brunch or for dinner time. Smash is a great place for good food and good conversations - we sat there for hours until the place slowly emptied and left happy.
