We went here for brunch based on some top ten lists and reviews I read and frankly because they took reservations. It was one of those weekends that I just didn't feel like standing in line. Ends up we wouldn't have needed a reservation anyway because there were a few tables available when we walked in.
First they have good coffee so they won me over immediately. They also were quickly on hand when refills were needed. We also ordered the pastry plate to share. I hesitated because I don't eat that much pastry and it was only two of us. I did not regret the decision (although we did just take almost the whole thing home). I tried the buffalo yogurt granola for breakfast and was not super taken with it. My dining partner had the chicken and waffles, which he declared delicious (but perhaps a bit heavy on the 5-spice powder). The side of bacon we ordered was fine. It was just bacon so you can't go wrong, but somehow I thought they would have extra good bacon ...
With so many brunch options in the city (or even in this neighborhood), it wouldn't be my first choice but it is a good decent brunch.
