I just came back from yet another brunch at Mitzi's. This place is literally a 5 second walk from my boyfriend's house, so we have been here on a few occasions, mostly when we are too lazy to venture much further for brunch.
Some of the brunch items are truly delicious but some are lacklustre, and though the portions are HUGE, I find that some of the plates come piled with too many carbs. Sometimes I want a side of salad with my eggs and potatoes.
Today I had the fish cakes (made with cod) with poached eggs. It came with a mountain of home fries, and 2 HUGE and THICK slices of buttered sourdough bread. It also had some fruit on the side. The fish cakes were yummy and not too greasy. My poached eggs were perfect, and the home fries had good flavour. My problem with my plate was that I could only eat half a slice of my toast and about half my home fries. By the time the waitress took my plate away, I felt embarrassed to be wasting so much food. But seriously, who can have this many carbs in one seating?
My boyfriend had the ultimate hangover sandwich, which consisted of eggs,kimchi,garlic mayo and bacon on thick cut sourdough bread. His plate also came with home fries. I had a couple of bites of his sandwich and it was delicious!!! The mixture of the kimchi and the egg and the bacon - WOW!
When I came here last week I had their french toast (made with challah bread) and the topping of that day (their toppings change all the time) was caramelized bananas, graham crackers and whipped cream. DELICIOUS! It was just so damn good! Definitely the thing to order when they have it. My only problem was that the french toast also came with home fries. I don't know about anyone else but I don't particularly want to eat fried potatoes with my french toast. It just doesn't go. I left the home fries untouched, and once again I felt awful about wasting food.
I will continue coming to Mitzi's because its really convenient when I am over at the boyfriend's house to just pop in here for some brunch. And the food is good, however it just isn't mind blowing amazing. They would definitely get another 1/2 star if they started adding some salad to their dishes. Sometimes, I need some veggies with my side of artery clogging bacon and eggs.
