An Asado Movement Is Emerging in Florida's Barbecue Scene

"In Pensacola, Chef Darian Hernandez combines elemental open-fire energy with elevated Spanish technique honed in Spain and while working for José Andrés, shaping a communal, shareable live-fire dining experience. Dishes such as a primal carne asada for two are meant to be passed around and eaten with hands and tortillas, pairing messy, slow-cooked meat with wine and tapas that arrive in waves. The approach celebrates slow rhythms and conviviality—tapas to start, the main course landing as conversation deepens—to reconnect diners through fire-driven cooking." - Carrie Honaker

The Best Road Trip-Worthy Restaurants Outside New Orleans | Eater New Orleans

"Tucked inside the bottom floor of Pensacola’s newly opened Lily Hall boutique hotel, Brother Fox is a modern Spanish spot from Nashville restaurateur Terry Raley specializing in flame-grilled fare and Iberian wines. Executive chef Darian Hernandez puts his own spin on the menu, offering a daily fresh catch presentation and a gorgeous grazing board stocked with Spanish cheeses, cured meats, and locally sourced fruits and honey. Grab a seat on the shaded patio to watch chefs arrange massive platters of skirt steak asada and coal-fired whole chicken, accompanied by house-made tortillas and charred vegetables, all pulled directly from the smoker. Take an after-dinner detour to Pensacola’s only speakeasy, located just on the other side of Lily Hall (look for the red phone booth). You’ll find all the classics inside this low-lit, red velvet banquette-line lounge, as well as inventive sips like the Banh Mi Tini, a cilantro, cucumber, and lime-kissed dirty martini with a dash of white balsamic." - Sarah Bisacca

Really enjoyed celebrating our anniversary at Brother Fox Sister Hen! We started at Sister Hen for drinks—the candlelit ambiance is very intimate, & the drinks menu had a lovely variety, even with a dedicated NA section. The Bees Knees was my fave—so delicious and perfectly balanced. We were escorted through another secret door to our dinner reservation where we had the calamari special (nice touch with the homemade fried pickles in the mix) and the charbroiled oysters, which were packed with flavor! For mains we had the snapper special, the octopus, & the caviar special. The fish was a perfectly cooked generous sized filet. Octopus was tender and had great flavor. Caviar special had a goat cheese foam and the lightest, crispiest homemade chips making for the perfect bites. We loved it all! Our server, George, was excellent! We love when a server knows the menu well & can help us deliberate on enough but not too much food while making sure we don’t miss out on anything. Can’t wait to go back and enjoy the outdoor seating next time!

We had a beautiful birthday celebration here last Saturday. The space was stunning, the food was incredible, and our server—Grant, I believe—was also fantastic. We enjoyed the mussels special, the charcuterie board, and a few other dishes, and wow… everything was absolutely delicious!

Great dining experience! Service was amazing, and the atmosphere was very cute. Cozy, and a little loud but everything was beautiful. Fantastic outdoor seating. The food was also very good, my boyfriend got the burger and I got the fillet. His burger was much better than my fillet surprisingly, the pretzel buns were perfect and the sauce was delicious. The greens that came with my fillet though, I could eat an entire plate of just them! I was also able to make reservations right before they opened for the day, easy and online. I'd like to come back to try a dessert!

We went to Bro fox to celebrate an anniversary and we were not disappointed. Food, service, and atmosphere we're all wonderful! Highly recommend the snapper ceviche. The drunken goat cheese was delicious as well as the rest of the charcuterie board components. The seafood paella was very nice. The mussels were sweet and briny. Pan con tomato was flavorful. Highly recommend adding the Spanish anchovies. We especially loved the level of char on the toast. Overall an exceptional experience and we will definitely be back!

We loved our experience here, and the service was wonderful. I was somewhat disappointed in the paella for two. This should be a generous and abundant dish; the shrimp were excellent, but the mussels and clams ( only a few) were small and somewhat obliterated by overcooking. I felt the amount of rice and seafood was meager for two. The small plates were thoroughly enjoyable, a drunken goat cheese plate and some blistered shishito peppers. Our churros for dessert were okay. I will be happy to give it another try, but the prices may make that later than sooner.

This cozy restaurant is hidden in the neighborhood under what was a church, but is now a hotel. The staff is friendly and kind. The food is well prepared and not boring! You can get a roasted whole chicken, but if you're more adventurous, they have seafood paella or grilled octopus. Everything on the menu is delicious! You can enjoy their wine menu or bring your own bottle ($30 and don't bring what they have). The craft cocktails are great and also offered in their "speak easy" next door, Sister Hen. Street parking is a bit of a pain, especially when it's raining, but that's the only downside to this welcoming gem!

Charbroiled oysters and shishitos are a must every time we dine at Brother Fox! We request a table in Megan’s section every visit. She’s an absolutely amazing server whose attentiveness and recommendations never miss!

First time here and let’s say 10/10 highly recommend! Megan was such an amazing waiter for our food! Went to the Speak Easy and hung with John H! Let’s say the drinks are amazing and his company fantastic! We loved everything we had but definitely kisses to the chef Jacob! The charbroiled oysters are a must try! Happy Birthday to me!

Out of this world! Second time here. Started with cocktails the speakeasy and had the tini. Flowed into the restaurant for a perfect lineup of tapas. Server was FANTASTIC and expertly sequenced/paired our selections for the most amazing meal. 100% will come back.

7/7/2025 - UPDATE: reached out to the manager, per his request, and have not received any additional contact. Unfortunately, it was a total miss. Food, drinks, and service were a disappointment. It took 50 minutes to get our drinks. Our appetizers came out before our drinks (whiskey neat, margarita, and an old fashion). 3 out of 4 people order the filet. They asked for them to be prepared medium rare and they came out well done. One guest could barely cut into his because of how it was cooked. Our server tried but she was struggling. We were 1 of 4 tables and she couldn't get keep up. We had a 2 top next to us and they left very disappointed. Other servers were coming up to them and apologizing for their service. Another 2 top was seated and they left 15 minutes after being seated because it took so long to be greeted. We have dined here serval times prior and there always seems to be "something" off. Tonight was just completely off. The only reason I gave 2 stars was because the appetizers were good and the runners were very kind. It will take a lot to get us back.

Let me start by saying, OUR SERVER GRANT WAS GREAT! This review does NOT reflect him or his service. Night started off with a completely confused hostess who couldn't seem to figure out table sequencing and such. We had a reservation, but it seemed like a shock that we were there with all of the members of our party. As usual, they were out of one of the food options and some of the drink options. By the time we got our drinks, two tables around us had already left without ordering. A younger gal, food runner not a server, was pretty rude and fresh with her attitude. Poor communication with staff. Seems like a manager and training related problem. But again, Grant was great despite his coworkers. Another training problem, reaching over and being inflexible with refilling glasses. If someone presents you their glass to be filled, don't ignore it and walk around the table. Don't look confused and refuse to fill a presented water glass. No pics because nothing was photo worthy. Bad presentation. Food was okay. Overpriced for what you get. This is our 5th time, all with similar experiences.

Came in just for appetizers and just ordered one of everything. I think the least impressive was the olives. I know traditionally they come with pits in them and that just made it more difficult to eat. The Shishido peppers were kind of a miss as well, kind of soft and soggy. The aioli was a nice touch but provided not much flavor. Our favorite dish of the whole evening was the octopus with the mojo verde sauce. The mojo verde actually kicked the peppers up a notch. The mushroom tartar was also a great surprise lots of flavor and impressive presentation. Inside was nice and clean, and our server was good at bringing out each plate in a timely manner as not to overwhelm the table.

We came for a birthday and could not of asked for a better experience! The chicken was amazing. We shared small plates and the chicken with friends. The cost was well worth the experience. The churros were fabulous! Our waitress was so great. One of the best experiences we've had in Pensacola in a long time.

We visited today for Sunday brunch as I've been wanting to come for a while but we do not do dinner out very much any more at all and Sunday brunch is the only noon-time option here. For a restaurant built into the low ceiling, lower floor of a historic building this is very nicely, enjoyably and attractively done. Impressive. My wife had the shrimp tacos which she loved, but which she thought could be elevated with a complimentary sauce of some sort or another. Though I have been burned out on Shrimp and Grits for years now, I went with it today thanks to the reviews here on Yelp and our server's recommendation. I was not disappointed. This is a really unique and enjoyable rendering of this dish. The chorizo spiced sauce is quite tasty and the six large shrimp were perfectly cooked. It is hard to judge the flavor of the cheese grits for all the sauce that covers the dish. I would love to see this dish plated with the shrimp layered over the bed of grits and the sauce ladled over one side of the shrimp so the grits on the other side are sauce-free. Both my Tanqueray martini and after meal smoked Old Fashioned were superbly poured. Really well done. Our server, Bre, was delightful and perfectly attentive. We're going to have to make the effort to visit for dinner so we can delve into that menu's offerings.

Everything was delicious. We have frequented Brothers Fox several times the food is always delicious. The serving sizes are on the smaller side but the flavors are amazing. Service is hit or miss but they do okay. Brunch is my favorite menu they have. Clean inside large outdoor seating area.

First off, we started just wanting to get into Sister Hen, we waited for about 30+ minutes to get In. Once the manager, Andrew, came out to tell us that there was not any room but we could sit at the Brother Fox bar, he led us to the bar and gave us complimentary red wine for our wait. John gave us shots of Tequila right when we got to the brother fox bar. But that wasn't the gift. He showered us with laughter and entertainment. He celebrated our 10 yrs anniversary of marriage with a complimentary churros desserts! The banana foster whisky drink was so good! We finally got to go over to Sister Hen, it was so nice! Chloe and Andrew behind the bar, were amazing! They taught us stories of the beginning of the bar.and how drinks were made. So thankful to come across their sweet souls. Thankful for the whole experience and will definitely be back!

Fantastic spot, especially for brunch. A mean bloody? Check. Delicious grits? Check. Plenty of inside and patio seating and awesome service. Parking might be a bit of a challenge is their crowded. But, I would definitely come back to try more of their menu.

We started out with a fancy and tasty Bloody Mary and passion fruit mimosas. We ordered the charcuterie board for an appetizer and the chicken and waffle entree...everything exceeded expectations. Would definitely recommend...

So, I'm actually disappointed... Disappointed, that I have to drive an hour and a half from Mobile to Pensacola, to relish in this nearly clandestine revelry, to parlay with one remarkable bartending connoisseur, and to liberate my palate with libations and incredible entrees alike. As a patron who obviously appreciates the finer taste in life (self-proclaimed epicurean), believe me when I say- Brother Fox will not, actually, disappoint. Bottoms up, and hats off to... one Mr. John Moore- for holding it down, and holding nothing back- in his inspiration, creativity, and painstaking execution. Sincere appreciation and respect, for the art and delivery of his culinary and cocktail passion, expressed. I could definitely go on, but you get the point... Here's to indulging in the finer things in life! Proost! XO, Melanie @mellymelbelle

This was our first visit to Brother Fox, very nice decor and atmosphere, restrooms are clean Food was very good , they have ample options of small plates to share and all sounded great , we ordered patatas bravas & croquetas and they were spot on delicious...and then the paella for 2 which was good but a bit on the salty side. Our server mentioned they just had 3 dessert options The service is why we rate it 3 Our hostess was very nice and even gave us ideas of where to park ( it's very limited and recently parallel streets had been marked reserved for residential) Fir starters our server never introduced herself , she came to the table smiled and asked what we wanted to drink and shortly after came back with 2 drinks, a beautifully crafted cocktail that was delicious and a smoked Old Fashion, which we pointed out was not smoked at all , and her answer was their old fashion are weakly smoked. She saw a napkin fell to the floor and immediately offer to replace this and completely forgot , 15 min later we had to remind her, she never came back to see if we had any comments on the food ( the usual any where you go) One would think for a restaurant with this status and hype ( recently mentioned as Best Restaurant in USA TODAY ) service should be top notch I still feel I'll go back as the food was very good and different from everything else in town

Terrible service (Laureen). We walk in and they don't want us to sit outside like we had reserved and try to convince us to sin inside, we didn't. Get seated at our table after standing in the hallway for 5 minutes because they didn't have our table prepared. She gets us water and leaves doesn't get a drink order or anything. She doesn't come back for our drink order until 25 minutes later. Put in our drink order and wait another 20 minutes for our drinks, we finally get them then order. Our server never came back and checked on us while waiting. My dad and aunt said theirs beers were disgusting and wanted to order new ones, they chased a different waiter down ordered the new beers and never recieved them. After 25 minutes we get our food I got the Father's Day special which was a 20oz steak, it was so overcooked it was actually disgusting and inedible. Ordered it medium rare got it more than well done no flavor at all., I couldn't chew it at all. DISGUSTING. My family got the paella said it had no flavor at all and just tasted completely like paprika. Again disgusting. The whole time we were attempting to eat our nasty food we never got checked on at all but her other table next to us was checked on 5 times while she never even looked at us. I had to chase her down to even get the bill to pay, she was super sweet but doesn't need to be a waitress we were there nearly an hour before even ordering and didn't get checked on by OUR server one time. Terrible service terrible food. And I feel bad because my dad was as so excited to eat here for Father's Day. Could have got better at McDonald's and l'd definitely wouldn't have been $300 there Andrew G.

Such a great experience. The bartender was fun and knowledgeable on the menu. Had great recommendations and made the most amazing cocktails. I stayed way too long and tried as many drinks as I could before I left. I can't wait to come back and try everything on the menu. It's a must try if you haven't been. A lil birdie told me they also have a speakeasy sister hen. Ok be checking that out next.

Brother Fox in the Lily Hall hotel is a gorgeous little restaurant with really interesting options. George provided excellent service. He's very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. If you like cabbage definitely try the charred cabbage dish, it's delicious! All in all I had a wonderful experience at the Hotel, restaurant and the super cool speak easy on site ( the Bahn Mi Tini is a must!!!). If you're a paella lover their take on it is decent but not the best paella you've ever had.

Yelp
Amazing dining experience! Paella was amazing as good as our paella in Spain!! We came for this dish because we saw it on Facebook and it didn't disappoint just like the photos!! Chef Darian came out to our table and greeted us to make sure everything was amazing (and it was) coming from a head chef that meant so very much! George our server was superb and the mixologist John was perfection as he selected and purveyed the most amazing cocktail and wine to go with our meal!! Top marks!!! Michelin folks come and visit this amazing gem!!

Another wonderful experience!!! This is our fifth or sixth dinner at Brother Fox and it just keeps getting better! The service is always awesome and the food is amazing. It's really like a hidden gem in Pensacola, and it has a super fun speakeasy down below. Both of these places are super fun and I highly recommend!

I rarely write a poor review but have no other recourse here. We went to BF for an Easter brunch. Not inexpensive at $85 per person but we heard it was good. Standard buffet fare (hard to excel at that). They did have a tower of oysters on the half shell. My wife got 7-8 and started in. On oyster 5 or so she noticed a worm crawling out of it. 50+ years for her eating raw oysters and this was a first. Our server got the manager and he said he googled it and found it was a "harmless" worm but he said that he would comp her brunch. Kind of pointless given she lost her appetite. Bottomline is the bill came and it was full fare. Not wanting to make a scene we just paid and left. Gave our server 25% tip since this wasn't her fault and her service was excellent. Contacted the restaurant twice via their web contact form and also separately on e-mail. No response from either. very disappointing experience at the least

My wife and I were staying in a new spot in Pensacola on a little quick vacation trip, and Brother Fox was just a few blocks down the street so we were able to walk there. The food was really amazing, and I thought we got a great deal for the price. We ended up getting the steak for two with the peppers and onions, and we got the elote salad. Our waitress was really kind, as well. Beautiful vibe, great food and just a really nice overall experience! Will definitely be back next time we're in Pensacola.

We are visiting from out of town & heard this is a good place to go. It exceeded all expectations! The food was delicious, the drinks were amazing & the service was the best! Eugene made really good recommendations and had the best service. John the Bartender made someone in our party who wasn't drinking special mocktails that tasted amazing! I love this place! Thank you Eugene & John for accommodating us!

Our first visit was very impressive! We did go on a holiday, so reservations were made in advance and we had no wait upon arrival. Our server was friendly and attentive, and we were pleased with both beverages and food we ordered. We got the shishito peppers (my SOs favorite), the octopus (my favorite, and I typically do not order octopus as it's usually overcooked) and the croquettes. We finished the meal with churros, and the accompanying salted caramel was fantastic. Having the manager introduce himself while busing tables for busy servers left a great impression as well. We very much look forward to our next visit!

Claudia C.

Yelp
The ambience was nice. The service was great but unfortunately the food was not. Three couples ordered paella and to our disappointment, it was salty and lacked much of a descent amount of seafood. The food is expensive and in my honest opinion not worth the $200 bill my husband and I paid for the paella we shared, a cheese board and two drinks.

We went to Sister Hen and had John M. as our bartender. The drinks were amazing. Best expresso martini yet!!! I live in Mass and can't wait to go back to Pensacola just to go here again!

We were a party of 2. Arrived and seated in a very crowded space. Asked to be moved and told they could not accommodate however saw another couple sitting at a table for 4. Then told by server that our drink order that they were out of an ingredient. Then few minutes later brought the drink we ordered. He said the missing ingredient had to be made? So what was the problem? You offer something and then say you can't mske it!Then placed our order and a short time later told by server that they were out of eggs-benedict. This is brunch, why are you out of a basic item. Had winter storm last Tuesday Wednesday but things were moving by Thursday. The server should know ahead of time ( manager responsibility) what they are out of before customers orders or asked what they want to order. Very disappointed on our first visit and don't plan to return for a while to let education set in.

Yelp
Superb service, setting (the patio), and dishes made for a wonderful experience. I enjoyed a really nice white wine from Spain, and the tapas were each a surprise of flavor, the mushroom and beet, the potatas bravas, the gambas (shrimp), and an entree of superb snapper. A unique menu with flair.

First thing to know is that there is no onsite parking for the restaurant, and parking on the street is a task. We recently ordered pickup from their brunch menu, and it was under whelming, especially for the price. Plus, they forgot our bacon that comes with the waffles plate. The menu would do well to add some more standard type of brunch faire, too. Overall, not impressed.

I have been so BEYOND excited to try Brother Fox and finally went for my birthday a few weeks ago. The fact that my birthday was denoted on the reservation apparently doesn't matter. I even mentioned it to our server and it just didn't matter. That was disappointing but I get it. Not a big deal and it's not changing my rating one way or another but it would be nice if the noted celebrations meant anything. The food was good but for the price point, it just doesn't match unfortunately. The acoustics (as just about every other review mentions) are the main focus on me never having a desire to return. I'm sure there HAS TO be a way to fix the acoustics in this place, there just has to be. Additionally, our server didn't seem to be knowledgeable and was merely "ok" which is a major bummer. Brother Fox was fine but I'm not paying that much for mediocrity. Sister Hen is phenomenal - I will continue to visit Sister Hen for sure!!!

We were excited to try Brother Fox for my wife's birthday, as we have been trying for sometime now to have dinner here. The restaurant was empty as was the majority of downtown due to it being a Sunday night. Service was good and our food came out quickly. We ordered a couple salads and a half dozen grilled oysters along with the sticky wings and a couple cocktails. They drinks were good and so was the food, although the food left us a bit underwhelmed. The salads were flavorful, no complaints there. The oysters felt like they were a bit over-seasoned, to the point where they almost had a bitter finish, but they were not bad. they only have five entrées on the menu, so after eating our small plates, we decided for the price we would rather just visit Sister Hen and a couple other downtown establishments to finish our meal. I believe they could definitely improve their menu and also the flavor of the food could be improved. I do hope it succeeds so I will give it some time and look into trying it again.

I was a bit disappointed by my experience at Brother Fox this evening. I've been to Sister Hen repeatedly because the service is always impeccable and the drinks are perfection. Andrew, Chloe, and Daisy always take care of us and I feel like I get my moneys worth in both quality of drinks, service, and atmosphere. So I decided to try the actual restaurant this evening and it was frankly kind of a bummer. I 100% do not mind throwing down some money on a meal if its worth it and this was not it. It was a bland, safe experience from the food, to the decor, to the service. While the menu gives an interesting Spanish vibe, there's nothing else in the restaurant, from the interior to the seasoning of the food, that actually speaks to that vibe. the food: We shared the charcuterie board, the Brussels, and the low country boil. Maybe we ordered the wrong items but here's my thoughts: Charcuterie board: $36 for a small typical meat and cheese plate. 2 pieces of prosciutto, 5 thin slices of chorizo, 4 small wedges of cheese and a smattering of nuts and mushy berries that would have been good if they hadn't wilted in the fridge before coming to us. Brussels: $14 I really wanted to like this dish. The lemon air foam on top was unique and super yummy, but the Brussels themselves were hard and the texture of the whole dish was just wrong and not pleasant to eat. The flavors were pretty good together but had the consistency of trail mix. It was a small amount of sprouts for the price, but enough to be shareable, I was just disappointed. Low country boil: $36. Let me start with the fact that the sauce on this dish was absolutely incredible. I could eat that with a spoon all day and be happy. However, it was overshadowed by the 6 overcooked shrimp, and undercooked potatoes. The corn was yummy but was so small. The bread that came with it was so stale and burnt that it was inedible (a problem the woman at the table next to us also had). The flavors of this were spot on, but it was poorly cooked. We had two cocktails with our meal that were very good, but overall the whole experience was not worth the price tag. We dropped our $120 on 2 cocktails, a charcuterie board, a small shrimp boil and a side of Brussels sprouts and then immediately went to another bar for food. Our server was nice enough but kinda dropped the check and ran. It was an okay meal, kind of a blah experience, that was just not worth the price tag However, Sister Hen is phenomenal I'll continue going there.

This is a fun date night restaurant in Pensacola. It's outside the downtown, so parking is both better but also could require walking in the local neighborhood. One hack: ask for seats at the speakeasy for after dinner! I found out after I ate there :( Food was all good portions, well flavored and served in nice courses. Servers are friendly and helpful. I would just avoid the small 2 tops in the middle of restaurant traffic under bright lights.

Fantastic ambiance, we sat on the patio outside. It was a beautiful day; under the awning, it felt really nice with the shade. Food service was relatively quick. It tasted fantastic, same for the drinks. We had bottomless, mimosas, and bloody Mary's. I ordered the shrimp and grits and added the egg.

Very expensive, $65.00 per person, no menu available. Over 20% gratuity automatically added for a buffet.

We tried Brother Fox, and it did not disappoint! The location is a little off the beaten path, which adds to the charm. Our server, George, was simply delightful! Our appetizers were grilled octopus and elote salad, and they were both fantastic. We had the large plate, made for sharing, carne asada as our entree. It was ON POINT!!! Dessert was a chocolate lover's dream. Will be back soon. Looking forward to trying the brunch!

Mother's Day brunch. I was excited because we had not been before. My husband had the traditional brunch, eggs Benedict, fruit, scrambled eggs, etc. He said his food was very good. I chose the prime rib brunch because it is my favorite above all else. Unfortunately, the first small piece of meat was tough and inedible. The mashed potatoes were cold and there were no seasonal vegetables available. I returned the meat and asked for another piece. The second piece was much better. We asked the server about vegetables and she brought me a plate of mixed vegetables that was nice. I feel that a 65.00 a plate brunch should be much better. I doubt we will be back.

My husband and I have been talking about trying Brother Fox since they opened. Our daughter and her friends have already eaten there several times and love it. Tonight I brought him there for his birthday. We were greeted promptly and brought directly to our table. Our waitress came by a few minutes later and took our drink orders and then was back for our food orders about 5 minutes later. She was very friendly and stopped by often during our dinner offering drink refills and just checking on us. We started with the chorizo appetizer which was very good. Very thinly sliced chorizo with a type of cracker to eat it on. My husband ordered the fish of the day which was mahi, and I had the New York strip. Both were served on the softest, creamiest pillow of mashed potatoes you could imagine. My husband said his mahi was the best dish he has ever eaten at any restaurant in Pensacola. My steak was cooked perfectly and the sauce that was served with it was out of this world. For dessert we had the churros served with caramel sauce. The churros were piping hot and very tasty. As mentioned in many other reviews it was rather loud, but we had no trouble hearing each other or our waitress. The out door patio was gorgeous and we will most likely sit out there next time weather permitting. The decor inside was a little austere for my taste, but some might just say it is minimalist. E we will definitely be returning. Can't wait to try Sister Hen!

All I have to say is that this restaurant is one of the BEST OR THE BEST. My husband took me here for a date night and we had the most wonderful time. I don't eat much steak and the filet was absolutely AMAZING! I wish I took pictures however, I was too busy eating the best food EVER! Thank you chef Darian and the Team at brother fox for making my date night! Y'all are awesome!!

We went for brunch, I ordered the bro. fox skillet... What a let down!!! It was a tiny portion served in a baby skillet! The bravas sauce and garlic aioli in the skillet did not even produce any flavor, its was like tomato paste smeared at the bottom, and I didn't even taste garlic in the aioli sauce...also You get a 1 inch cut of chorizo thrown in there. You're Better off going to Dennys for a breakfast skillet. I don't know what has happened to this establishment since opening, the quality is no longer there. So disappointing.
