| - My friends and I visited Black Briik on a Sunday for brunch. The brunch menu was pretty standard - we had the eggs benedict, dirty corn hash, and pancakes. The wait was quite long for food (30+ minutes) - the restaurant was not too busy but there was only one server and given the wait times, there was likely only one chef. Timing was an issue, as the first dish was served long before the other two arrived. The eggs benedict were okay, although a bit sparse compared to the other dishes and a touch overcooked. The dirty corn hash came with two eggs sunny side up that still had uncooked egg whites, but was otherwise tasty and a good portion size. However, the pancakes came out burnt and drenched in syrup. The bottom side of the pancakes (i.e. the hidden side) was significantly more burnt than the top side, and we had it sent back. The pancakes were comped, but the fact that something that burned made it out of the kitchen is not a good sign for quality control.
On the plus side, the prices were reasonable ($11-$13) and with some refinement, this could be a decent neighbourhood restaurant. However, given the wait times and the food quality, this is not somewhere that I would recommend going for brunch until they've gotten their processes more sorted out.
