EVERLY. You remind me of my time in Los Angeles visiting my sister. Your food is unique and different. Your service is pretty great. I've been here twice for brunch. The first time - 5 stars. The second time - 3. I'm splitting the difference here with a 4.
My absolute favorite thing about this place is the salmon. It's "smoked" but it really tastes like fresh sushi grade salmon - almost like sashimi. When I moved here from Boston I was TERRIFIED to eat fish. Honestly. Although I grew up in the midwest, once you live on a coast you resign yourself to the fact that you'll never eat good seafood again unless you're back there. Thanks to Everly for proving me wrong.
I was a bit frustrated at brunch with the quality of the vegetables and the potatoes. They honestly tasted like they had been reheated in a microwave. Considering everything else was so fresh, this was a huge disappointment. But, everyone is allowed to have an off day. I'd certainly check this place out. The ambiance if nothing else, is really cool. A great place to sit on the patio in the summer and enjoy some great brunch cocktails and FANTASTIC salmon benedict. Is there anything better in life than a salmon benedict?
