"East St. Paul’s Tongue in Cheek nails the balance between casual and elevated, offering brunch entrees like braised pork Benedict, smoked salmon with eggs, and sugar-dusted Belgian waffles with thoughtful flourishes. Brunch cocktails — think espresso martinis with Irish cream; screwdrivers with a creamy egg foam — are a must here." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff
