| - I'm also super-late with this review (which should have been written the second week of June, but here goes) ...
So ... 6 days after my friend's birthday brunch, we decided to end her birthday week with - what else? - another brunch.
This was my first time at Beast. I've always considered myself proficient at brunch.
Apparently I've been doing it wrong.
I was a late arrival to our small group (which included my friend Fern H.), but I was right on time for some meal-time decadence!
I think I may have sampled a piece of the maple bacon donut Fern mentions in her post, but I can't quite remember.
For my main, I ordered the French toast (the bread they used was challah - holla!) with duck confit, topped with cranberry mostarda and whipped creme fraiche, with a side of maple syrup ($13).
Sweet. Fancy. Moses.
A lesser version of me would have rubbed that stuff all over my face, it was THAT good. I also ordered a mimosa to wash it down, just to keep it classy.
The establishment isn't huge, but given Beast's decadent menu, I liked the cozy feel to it. Service was decent, too.
I would recommend it to anyone - resident or visitor - and I hope I get a chance to return here, whether for another brunch or a different meal entirely.
