| - I recently read an article stating that little spoon was one of the best brunch places in Charlotte, being an avid lover of all things breakfast I decided to try. I'm a culinary student and I was very disappointed. I really want to open my own farm to table restaurant but I want to actually give the food flavor. The atmosphere was awesome. I went with a friend after church on Sunday, we ordered a latte and an Americano, both were really good. We then ordered the starters of the donut holes and the potatoes. I was really pleased with the display but for $6 you get 3 donut holes that taste very similar to day old Dunkin, not the best. The potatoes were the only thing I ordered that I really liked, the garlic aioli set it off and the potatoes were purple so that made things festive. For our entrees she ordered the Breakfast sandwich with their version of bacon and after trying hers I really liked it, not a fan of fat but you have to expect that from pork belly bacon. They didn't offer sides, the sides were the starters. I was really wanting a delicious burger, because that's what people raved about, but no burger was even on the menu and when I asked the waitress the specials she said there were none, but later I watched them deliver a burger to someone, sad. Instead I ordered the chicken biscuits. Being from North Carolina the thing that really made me want them aside from the homemade pickles was the chicken soaked in cheer wine, but to my dismay they tasted nothing like cheer wine, not even a little. And the biscuit part was the real disappointment...I got over everything else but this...the biscuit was disgusting. It was very dry and all the give you on the plate and biscuit is aioli, which was great but did not help at all. I ordered an over medium egg on the side (for an extra $2 which is what you could get 12 eggs for) and it didn't even help moisten the biscuit, so I ended up leaving the overdone, crumbly, flavorless biscuits on the plate and ate the chicken and egg. All in all I give this place 2 stars sadly because I was really looking forward to it and I was so disappointed.
