I enjoyed the brunch experience here. We had called ahead to get on the list, but still had to wait about 20 minutes to get called to our table. They had some mismatched seating with different tables, chairs, flooring, walls, decor, etc. Felt like a mod podge environment with no particular mood associated.
While in the waiting area, which is quite sizable and has tables surprisingly, there was the option to order at the bar for cocktails or coffee. It took about 10 minutes to get acknowledged by the staff behind the bar, which made me feel compelled to just skip the request altogether. The drinks were quickly made after we got the chance to order, taking only about 5 minutes to receive them all.
When we got called to our table, we were led to a tented area with artificial grass covering the whole area. Our table was a plastic, outdoor kind of picnic table with lot grooves that ended up being easy to have the plates slide around on.
The waitress was sweet and good at conversation, and definitely smooth with upselling. Our group ended up taking a couple of her suggestions outside of our main meal preference.
The food came out in decent time. It took probably 30-35 minutes to come out for a group of 5. The presentation was good, but slightly messy in some parts.
For drinks we were sipping on an iced Vanilla Cherry latte, an iced Raspberry Mocha latte, and a hot Banana latte with Kahlua. The first two had a nice strength and sweet flavor. The Vanilla Cherry was my favorite of the two. I will say that I am not a coffee fan, so I like my coffee to taste like dessert and this hit that mark. The third drink was faint in flavor, mostly tasting like milk. All 3 drinks had whip on them, which I wish we didn’t go with. The whip cream they use had some sort of weird agent in it that caused a chunky residue once mixing or drinking. I would recommend the whip cream be changed to something more natural like heavy whipping cream + powdered sugar and just get the canisters to make it in house, or buying them from the store in the typical cans for cheap. Whatever preservatives or binders were there really dragged down the quality.
The meals we got were the Salmon Benedict, Philly Sandwich, Classic Benedict + Avocado, Salmon Hash, Country Fried Steak, and a full stack of Blueberry Lemon pancakes. I found every single plate to be of great quality and flavor. I personally ordered the Classic Benedict and Lemon Blueberry Pancakes.
For the Classic Benedict, the hollandaise sauce was very fun. The eggs were cooked to different consistencies, one having a runny yolk and the other having a creamy yolk. I didn’t even think to request a preference, because I hate runny yolks (though I do like a good Hollandaise sauce). I was happy to have at least 1 be to my liking without having asked. The potatoes were very tasty. Great crunch and nicely salted.
The Blueberry Lemon pancakes were lacking on blueberry, but great because of the lemon curd. I think these would be better with blueberries baked into the cakes themselves too.
I did really enjoy the Salmon Hash and Salmon Benedict. Great flavor and complimented well by their side dishes. The other dishes were good flavor, but not my personal preference so not much commentary there.
The price was around $115 before tip. I felt like it made sense for the overall experience here. I would come again because I did like their quality of food, which had a ton of variety on the menu.
