"here you'll find a young crowd, upbeat (but not annoyingly so) electronic music in the background, large graffiti mural lining one wall, and one of the earlier starts in town, opening at 8am.\n\nthe meal starts off with a metal shish kabob of fruit. it looked great but most of the fruit was under ripe. i'll never understand why under ripe fruit seems to be the gold standard of every brunch place i go to. \n\nit gets much better when the main courses arrived. i got the eggs benedict with cheddar and a compote of onions and my friend got eggs benedict with goat cheese and spinach. i found mine to be a little too heavy but with those ingredients it wasn't going to be anything BUT heavy. luckily my friend couldn't finish her eggs benedict and i got to have some of hers. the difference couldn't have been greater, hers was ethereally light and far superior. \n\nmaybe my favorite thing about the presentation of the main course was the little red cocottes filled with potatoes. the lid kept them nice and warm throughout the meal, and it was so cute i could barely stand it. \n\nmake sure to check out the bathrooms when you're here, because if you've ever wondered what it would be like to have a tiny nightclub in a bathroom, now is your chance. sort of. there's backwards graffiti on the wall that you can only read when you look into the mirror, and, when i was there, a television behind a chain link fence playing footage from a beastie boys concert. all lit up by some kind of black light or something. clearly they had a lot of fun designing this."^^ .
