| - 4 stars for brunch, 3 for happy hour. 3.5 and then bumped it down to 3 since there were so many people from both med schools, that it's hard to get away from medicine for an hour or two!
We came here for brunch the other day. Had a travelzoo coupon that let us have 2 mimosas, 2 entrees, and 1 appetizer for just $29. Great deal. Loved the complimentary monkey bread - tastes almost exactly like the sticky buns at Fire, except this is not $8, but free! Appetizer, we ordered the oxtail perogies that everyone raves about. The meat was tender, but was not too crazy with the load of horseradish that was piled on it. I thought everyone loves the pot roast hash, so both my bf and I ordered the pot roast hash. Was tasty, but could have done with ketchup. We took the leftovers home, microwaved it the next day, and added ketchup - yum. 4 stars for brunch; service was attentive, but not overbearing. A little slow, but hey, we're here for brunch. Did not enjoy hearing two other tables talk about residency applications though, but that's not the restaurant's fault.
Happy hour: was really really hyped up for it, and was sorely disappointed. When they said BOGO small plates, I thought they meant the mussels and other stuff listed under "Plates" on their online menu in the Happy Hour tab. Sadly, when we went, small plates = Devil's Eggs + Duck flatbread. Devil's egg dish was 1.5 eggs (3 pieces). Duck flatbread was a small rectangle with 6 pieces. Good, nothing to write home about. The burger deal was amazing though. $5 for burger and fries. Nicely cooked burger, tasty garlic aioli and balsamic mayonnaise. Fries were crispy. Nothing out of the ordinary, just nice and hearty. Did not like their beer special. No choice, just whatever the bartender had - a can of some random brand I've never heard of.
Overall verdict... bf wants to come here again for the monkey bread. I'll give it one more chance for the 3 for $40 special on Wednesdays.
