this place has an extensive brunch menu. granted, you can serve breakfast a hundred different ways, but they seem to have it down to a science. including their homemade cinnamon french toast.
the meal-partakers were sufficiently pleased with the buckwheat pancakes and huevos rancheros (with veggie chili). the salmon-bagel plate was excellent, though missing the cucumbers.
the pancakes arrived very late because the chef accidentally made their buttermilk cakes instead. they, nicely, gave us half off the order for the inconvenience.
as usual, they were packed to the gills. if we had been just a half hour later, we would have been among the many waiting in the stairwell for a seat. it's great food at an awesome price, but i don't know if i'd stand in a stairway for a half hour...
the bloody mary was mostly tomato juice... the coffee was very good. for the price, and if you have a small group, i'd recommend it.
