| - A bougie brunch experience! A friend and I came for Sunday morning brunch with a reservation, but found it wasn't needed - there were plenty of open tables even though the unusually sunny winter day lit up the restaurant perfectly (dem floor to ceiling windows tho). Flour's interior is picturesque, just posh enough where you could take a business partner or date you want to impress, but not to the point where they think you might be trying to hard.
Our waiter was very patient and polite as we went through the menu two, three, four times trying to pick out the best formula of a list of scrumptious-sounding items. Mimosas were a given - Pomegranate and Grapefruit - and we settled on the Flat Bread Panini, Shagbark Spelt and Pumpkin Pancakes (pumpkin is never out of season), and a side of the Brussels Sprout Hash. Everything was freaking delicious! The pancakes tasted like pumpkin cider with a bit of crunch, and the panini was like a healthy breakfast rolled into a convenient burrito. Even in our side dish, usually an afterthought, the brussels sprouts shone with just the right crunch and I could have eaten that pancetta for days.
For such a nice place, the price tag is fairly modest, although certainly no Mickey D's. I was left feeling like I needed just a little more food on each plate, but I guess that's also a compliment to the chef for keeping my appetite's attention. I've heard that at night Flour's vibe transforms into a different beast - maybe both will float your boat!
