This is one of those "I don't really want to tell you but I want the business to succeed so I must" posts. I met a friend for brunch yesterday and just the atmosphere alone made me feel relaxed. It's a gorgeous space with black and white accents, outdoor covered patio seating, and seat yourself, at least during the week.
I used the QR code to peruse the menu and it was hard to choose! So I didn't. The Village is the best of both worlds, with eggs, sausage or bacon, and a Belgiabn waffle with scrumptious strawberry butter (no syrup needed for me). I added Them Boujee Fries, which sounded more decadent than they were (I wanted them dripping with truffle oil), but my heart is happier that it was just some good seasoned fries.
My gluten-allergic friend had shrimp and grits. OOOOOOHHHHH I did not mention the GRITS! They are the creamiest and thickest grits I have ever had, and they even tasted good today when I ate them for lunch. Like I said, I ordered too much. The shrimp and grits looked like they were shipped up from New Orleans or the outer banks of North Carolina. I mean, they were almost unrecognizable with all the beautiful lobster and cheese and spices and... I gotta say they did deserve a fancier accompaniment than some ole toast, but my friend couldn't eat that anyway, so it's all good.
The service was impeccable, and our server has a gorgeous Caribbean accent but she declined to read me the menu aloud. That's ok, she did her thang, presenting the plates like they held precious jewels.
Chef Jerod is hands on and it was a delight to meet him as well.
