You know, it's funny--I've heard more about the brunch here than anything else. So that's what I came for and it was, in fact, a great spot for brunch.
However, what about the fact that Press is indeed a wine bar? I really don't hear much about their non-brunch offerings, which I fear will hurt this place. But enough with that--let's focus on my brunch for a minute.
The drink menu for brunch is 5 stars, easy. Mmmmyes, passion fruit mimosa. But seriously, there are like almost 10 different mimosa options, plus there's a cart you can order for $35 that lets you "decorate your own." The only bad side to it is that you get only one bottle of bubbly. In the mood for a savory cocktail? Their bloody mary offerings are badass. My guy ordered one that had a deviled egg and bacon in it. My sis got one with a stuffed pepper. My sister's bf said the coffee was pretty darn good, but I was too busy guzzling my mimosa.
The food is about a 3.5 for me. They offer up a lot unique brunch choices, but almost every option had 1-2 ingredients that I didn't like. What I really wanted was a traditional brunch, so what I ordered was their shroom omelet (the closest thing to it.) What came out was a very plain looking omelet with wheat toast. Boy was I mistaken about the eggs--although simply prepared, the dish was eggcellent! HA! Seriously though, fluffy eggs, melty provolone, peppery arugula (I know... I'm over it too, but it was delicious) and the best mushrooms I've had in a long, long time. The wheat toast was darn good, too, although I like mine a little bit toastier. I could have done without the cold potatoes, which needed to be crispier.
I think the prices could come down a dollar or two, but overall, a great brunch!
