| - After seeing a 2 hour line at Mildred's Temple Kitchen, we decided to have brunch on the 2nd story patio at Williams Landing. There were 4 of us, and we started with an order of calamari (it was closer to lunch than breakfast when we started). Our mains were the landing breakfast, eggs maine, eggs willie, and the jerk chicken sandwich. We also had a glass of white wine, a couple of cups of coffee, and el michelada.
The calamari were a bit over breaded, but cooked well. The dipping sauce was flavourful which resulted in an above average dish overall. I only tried the jerk chicken and eggs maine, both of which were very good. When the benedicts first hit the table, they looked underwhelming as they're served on a croissant, which makes the food look smaller than they should be. However, they were filling and well complimented by the salad. There was a good amount of lobster with the eggs maine, and the eggs were cooked well (I like them runny, and they certainly were!). The croissant was well toasted and buttery. I liked the seeds in the salad as they added both texture and flavour. The dressing was also not overdone, as many restaurants seem to drown their salads.
One of the downsides was the beet salad that my girlfriend upgraded to with her jerk chicken sandwich. We were expecting primarily beets with a little bit of greens. However, we got the opposite. There were only 3-4 pieces of beets in the salad. The entree was redeemed by the sandwich, however, which was juicy and tasty. The bread was also moist with a crunchy crust.
The coffee was not anything special, but the caesar was good, and served in a giant frosted beer glass.
Lastly, the view from the patio was very nice and overlooked Liberty Village. It was a great spot to spend an afternoon.
