This was one of the places that I put in my collection as an interest. So when I got invited to go, I was excited! I can say that I can check this place off. The service was prompt, the space is very picturesque. It is like stepping into a bridal shower. There are flowers and well place lighting everywhere. Which of course makes you want to take a picture immediately upon entrance. Then you have the art that is scattered around for the guests to notice. The interior decorator definitely secured the vibe. I will say that they played music, but it wasn't turned on until the beginning of our end-of-meal round of mimosas ;)
I was invited here for brunch on a Saturday. It was not very busy at all, I went around 11am. They have valet and the staff are there to greet you upon entry. We sat down and were told about the Miami Mimosa (Grenadine, Pinapple Juice. Orange juice and I believe some kind of vodka), Of course we ordered those. They were ok, but for the next round we just kept it simple with pineapple juice and champagne. This was because that was really all you could taste in the Miami besides the grenadine. It looked all beautiful and stuff but once stirred up just became a mimosa with grenadine.
My friend ordered a salad, which was huge, and the shrimp and grits, which was 5 pieces of shrimp placed on a bed of grits with a sauce that was poured sloppily on top (Ya could've atleast wiped where you spilled the sauce around the bowl chefy daaaang)! I ordered the smoked salmon eggs benadict over a puff pastry. SN: One immediate end to my interest in revisiting a place is when I am immediately thinking about stopping by a fast food restaurant on the way home. When I tell you guysssss... I don't leave anything on my plate... You know what got left, the salmon! There were only a few shavings but the saltiness of this fish took over the entire meal gradually increasing in prominence. It made me feel like I know what salted meats tasted like in midieval times. The only thing that made it edible was the puff pastry (I'm a sucker for great bread) and the poached egg and hollandaise sauce which did not save face enough.The order was tiny, so was the menu and I should've gotten two orders, but you try not to appear greedy when invited out.
Honorable mentions:
My friend (another friend) tried the dinner and said that the expierence was the same amount of lack luster when it came to the food, but the ambiance was nice so atleast they are consistent.
The plates coming out that we saw didn't look the greatest either. They would make great pictures, but I am pretty sure if you threw a piece of the French Toast at someone they would end up cuncussed or with a pretty bad skin abrasion.
The chicken that comes with the chicken and waffles is a chicken breast. EH
The tap water was refreshing! IYKYK!
Do with this what you will, you will get great pictures!
As for me I will always be Taste over Picturesque
