Can Can Brasserie

We visited on a weekday and it wasn’t busy. The restaurant has both indoor seating and a few tables outside. It was a beautiful day, so we opted to sit outdoors. Even though the inside was nearly empty, we waited about 10 minutes for an outdoor table. There’s also bar seating available. We started with the chickpea fries, which were absolutely delicious. I had the Croque Madame and the portion was huge! My friends ordered the escargot and the Provencale with frites, and the frites were delicious. If I lived nearby, I’d definitely come back often to try more dishes from the menu.

We had an amazing meal here on a Thursday Night. Jackson was our waiter, he andvhis colleagues provided excellent service. We had the Fall squash soup which was savory and great, I had the rockfish which was tasty and fresh.

10/10 easily my favourite brunch spot in all of Richmond. Taken numerous friends from out of town here for brunch, every single time amazing experience! Wonderful staff, wonderful food, marvellous atmosphere & vibes. To a reasonable extent the kitchen can do their best accommodating allergies. Obviously they can remake a whole soup & entree, but small changes and allergens are taken seriously. The quiche is “the quiechest of quiches”, their fruit bread served table side is worthy of a handshake from Paul Hollywood, and the steak sandwich is a chefs kiss! Have yet to find an item on the menu that is not great. Highly, highly recommend for any and all get together, date night, family meals, brunch, or just hungry.

We absolutely love Can Can! A perfect Monday morning starts with their exceptional cappuccino, (mine was delicious and made with oatmilk), followed by their French onion soup and Steak Frites for my entree. Our Group tried the steak tar tar, Gruyère Mac n cheese and kale Cesar salad. Service was impeccable, atmosphere was very Moulin Rouge - can’t wait to go back!

This was a delightful brunch outing! The food was delicious, the restaurant was beautiful, and we got seated quickly despite the busyness of a Sunday morning. Our server Emily was superb - she was friendly and helpful, following up with us frequently and offering local travel advice. Definitely a good pick for a fancy lil brunch!

Had Saturday brunch and it was wonderful! We got French toast, eggs Benedict and the eggs in purgatory, along with drinks. Pornstar martini was absolutely delicious. Everything was delicious and it was made way better with the excellent service we got from Alaina! Ask for her! Parking could be alittle troublesome but it's worth it. Also we made a reservation, but I have walked in before u just might have a wait, but its worth it.

None of this is the fault of the servers- what lovely people! But since this has changed hands, it has gone dramatically downhill. I am not a complainer, and have never felt the need to write a negative review of anything- but I also want to spare someone else the waste of $ and time this has become. We were there with four of us in the afternoon, among the orders were the Brioche French Toast with Berry and Powdered sugar (Pictured, it was actually thin sandwich bread that had no berries in sight and certainly no powdered sugar or anything else. I literally make better brioche french toast for my kid on a weekday before school.) We also had two orders of mac & cheese that were so alarmingly cold that we sent them back as we thought that they may have been frozen and reheated. Not even warm, like actually cold. The French onion soup was vaguely decent, but it was just so sad compared to what this restaurant used to be. The truffled Cesar has not a single taste of truffle anything. If you’re sitting here thinking that this review is dramatic or over-the-top, I assure you, it is not. The people in the tables around us were feeling the same way. We saw mat dishes sent back. Deep dissatisfaction all around. I feel so terrible for the wait staff because they are all such lovely people, and I worry that they may lose tips because of the absolutely horrendous expensive food.

Overall great! The food and atmosphere were fantastic. I got the croque madame with onion soup, and both were extremely delicious with generous portions. I docked a star because our waiter disappeared toward the end of our meal and we had to wait quite a while for them to come back, but I would gladly return.

Amanda was amazing and made the experience wonderful! Food was great and the ambience is great

Merci pour une belle expérience, Ashley! C'est délicieux! Merci pour une belle expérience, Ashley! C'est délicieux!

Nick and Nick were both awesome! Friendly, knowledgeable and excellent servers. They made our afternoon bread and wine visit especially enjoyable.

Can Can quickly became one of my new favorite spots in Richmond! The restaurant itself is absolutely adorable, charming, dreamy, and full of character. But what really made my experience unforgettable was our server, Okalani. She was such a gem! I have a gluten allergy, and she went above and beyond to make me feel safe and cared for. She knew all the details about cross-contamination and made sure I felt comfortable with my meal choice. She even recommended something I normally wouldn't order because of the bread and tomatoes, and it ended up being one of the most delicious breakfasts I've ever had. I'm still thinking about it two days later! As someone considering a move to Richmond, I was a little worried about finding both foodie spots and gluten-free options. Can Can proved me completely wrong. Between the amazing service, delicious food, and beautiful atmosphere, this place checks every box. I can't wait to come back!

We used to love Can Can. Recently our visit was disappointing. The only oysters offered were Chesapeake Bay, and they were small and didn't taste fresh. They were completely out of lobster tail and mussels. Service was okay - no appetizer plates or bread plates even though we'd ordered the bread basket, apps and oysters. No oyster forks were provided either. The waitress didn't know the answer to any of our basic questions or our follow up questions, and had to go check. Specials were read off a menu. Sad to say it's not the same restaurant it used to be. For a $300+ meal it's simply no longer worth it.

Came here for dinner upon someone's recommendation and left unsatisfied. The dishes all fell short and everything was much too salty. Appetizers - The escargots did not taste of anything and were a little rubbery. The herb sauce unfortunately did not do enough for it. The French onion soup was super duper salty and wish it came with some bread like the escargot did. The crispy oysters were more breading than oyster. The chickpeas fries were new to me. They were rather soft and lacking much dimension. Mains - Boeuf bourguignon was just okay, beef was salty and thankfully the potato puree helped balance that out. The duck in the duck l'orange was probably the best thing. The duck was nicely cooked and flavorful. The broccolini was nice. The mushrooms were juicy and terribly salty. The red cabbage was really sweet and it didn't feel like it fit with the whole dish. There was supposed to be a cauliflower puree with this but I don't think I saw or tasted it. Service was good. The interior is elegant and sophisticated. Overall, food could have been better.

We stopped here for a late lunch after a dental appointment. If it's not too busy, you can park in the lot beside the restaurant or on the street. They have a wonderful glass front with seating to watch the people walking by. When it is not too cold outside, they will open the windows. They play wonderful French music or jazz. The food is delicious and French cuisine for the most part. The wait staff were friendly and attentive. It is pricey, so consider this a spot for a special occasion.

We stopped in for pre-Thanksgiving Wed. afternoon cocktails. Ash served us beautifully crafted, delicious drinks and was perfect on every level. It was one of the most engaging and humorous exchanges ever with a talented, knowledgeable mixologist. The ambience was vibrant, bright, and delightful. One of few establishments I've found that serve LaChouffe beers-Bonus. Ash's espresso martinis excel!

Came here for cocktails and was really impressed with the creativity of the cocktails friendly service, and enjoyed the lively scene. We enjoyed the (strong) sazeracs, and while we did not get any food, it looked really good. Hoping to be back for food and more.

Located in the heart of Carytown in a bistro setting, the open-facing setup of the restaurant on a warm evening makes for an absolutely lovely atmosphere. Came without a reservation around 6:30 pm for a party of 2 and were seated at a table immediately but we definitely got lucky with that, so I would highly recommend making a reservation if possible! The moules frites were delicious and came with a solid amount of mussels that were fresh and tender as well as fries which were crispy and tiny in size (though definitely not in portion). We asked for some bread to dip in the white wine broth which was perfect to soak up the flavors - our server was super friendly, attentive, and very accommodating. Prices were reasonable (entree was $25 including tax without tip). An all-around wonderful experience in terms of food, service and ambiance! There is a parking lot right next to the restaurant, but spots can be difficult to come by at peak dinner hours so street parking may be a better bet.

Bea was an awesome waitress and the food was amazing. I always enjoy myself at CanCan. Thank you so much Bea!

Met my sister at Can Can Brasserie for a Saturday morning filled with French pastries and hot chocolate. She ordered a ham and cheese croissant, while I had the gluten-free pear scone -- best scone I've ever had. Not only was it crispy on the outside, it had small pieces of baked pear on the inside. I ordered a hot chocolate, and it had the perfect level of sweetness. I'm obsessed. I'd come back just for the hot chocolate and scone. The ambience was charming, and for a second I felt like I was back in France.

Had not been to Carytown for several years, so decided to walk down the street for something to do one day. Also made a last minute decision to do lunch while we were there, and decided to hit Can Can. We have both been to Carytown dozens of times over the years, but I had never eaten at Can Can. So in we went. Kind of a cool place with character, and all the staff we interacted with were very nice. Our server was doing double duty, and was also the bartender. She was awesome. (whoever was working the bar on Aug 14 at lunchtime). My wife is a big beet fan, and ordered the beet and goat cheese tower, with fresh fruit, and was very happy. On the recommendation of our server, I ordered the Provencale sandwich, which was one of the best I have ever had. We will definitely make a return visit on our next trip to Carytown.

Brunch as had 1130AM resevations reservations...hostess seated us immediately Then place is packed...make sure have a reservation Our waiter was helpful & friendly We both had Quiche Du Jour as very tasty ...latte was perfect. Bacon nice & crispy!! Would like to come back one day as an extensive Brunch menu.

Great food, great service, great night! Shout out to Hayden for taking care of us exceptionally well. We left over fuel and happy. Will return!

Such a cool spot with a unique menu. Food is always good, drinks are also done well. Plus, they have French-press coffee if you're stopping by for brunch!

Dinner tonight, on Thanksgiving, was perfect. I appreciate my server, Adriana, who was very patient and kind during a very busy night of service. My meal was the Thanksgiving Classique, and it transported me back to a time when I can remember enjoying a Thanksgiving dinner with my family in Texas. Being homesick is never easy, but with a lovely restaurant like Cancan being open on a holiday gave me a sense of comfort.

We were told about Can Can by some friends, and decided to try it out. They recommended the French onion soup, and they weren't wrong! Oh my! The cheese is so delicious. We also ordered the brussels sprouts for an appetizer and they were yummy. My husband ordered the steak frites and he was so pleased that he did. He gave me a bite and I could see why he liked it. I had the boeuf bourguignon and it was out of this world. I have always wanted to try this dish and it was everything I ever dreamed of and more. The mashed potatoes were perfectly seasoned and whipped, and the gravy part of this dish was other-worldly! The beef was so tender I didn't need a knife. It may seem like a small thing, but my iced tea was great. I am choosy about iced tea - it has to be fresh brewed and strong enough. It was perfect, and honestly when my tea is not good I don't enjoy my meal as much. This was awesome. Our server was fantastic. We will be back again!

Today, I finally got to sample a Richmond mainstay. Everything about the inside, from the artwork and ceiling details to the decorations, was exquisite. For me, though, there weren't many choices. The menu was really limited for me because I'm a finicky eater and don't eat beef or pork. Though the service wasn't the finest, the meal turned out to be decent. It took a while for us to get our lunch because they kept confusing our orders. I doubt I would return, but if you enjoy French food, this is the place for you!

Hayden was an awesome server! So helpful and attentive. She was an excellent serve. The ambiance she created was great.

A Parisian experience in .... historic Virginia!? Yes, walking into this place on Rue Cary was like being transported across the Atlantic without the uncomfortable pretending to remember my high school French. A string of lights across the ceiling, cozy and intimate seating and a long bar. It was a sunny day, and lots of light flooded in from the large windows. Place was packed, but we saddled up to two seats at the bar and chatted it up with the bartenders. A glass of Vouvray later and our sandwiches arrived. What do you get when you combine chicken confit, brie and bacon -- rich flavor and perhaps a bit of heart attack if we finished the entire thing -- it may in fact be worth it, though, The Banh Oui was a delightful take on a classic banh mi that hit the big four notes -- the pate was flavorful, good crunch on the bread, texture from the pickling and heat from the jalapeños. The sides were ok but less interesting. I had a nicely dressed salad but someone got very excited salting the frites (they quickly brought us a new batch). My wife was salivating at the espresso martini on tap, but alas we had plans that evening so left it there for walk along the Seine...I mean Carytown. A side note as there seems to be a lot of angst associated with this place having changed hands recently. We didn't know it before, but enjoyed it now. Ignorance can be bliss! And as for Virginia, look French-Vietnamese and French-Russian resulted in some lovely combinations. Why not French biscuits and grits? -- actually maybe that's a bridge too far.

The fancy French place in Richmond. After many visits, I'm forced to say something: the service/bar and ambiance have aged well, but the menu has lost its luster. Moules frites, steak frites and French onion soup no longer impress as they did before. The original owners have sold off and with them goes their original food quality. Richmond has evolved its restaurant scene over the years but this place has not.

This has easily become one my favorite restaurants in Richmond! The food delicious and the service is outstanding. We had an avocado toast, eggs benedict and pancakes. Rita was our server and she was so incredibly nice! Gave us recommendations, was SUPER nice to our dog, and checked on us multiple times! I can't get over how nice she is. definitely get the pancakes if you come- they are the best ever.

Can Can is one of our favorites! Roman was a delight. He was attentive, but not too attentive. He was fun and personable. The food was spectacular as always. We will definitely be back.

great service from ash at the bar! ambiance was great; ordered fries, french onion soup, and a caesar salad -- all were delish. will be back!

Ash was a great server and the food was delish! Great lunch options. I enjoyed the Chicken soirée sando

Delicious and absolutely beautiful place! The vibe is classy, but still casual. The French menu is so unique and they have a great variety of casual and upscale. Reservations are nice, but we always choose the bar. Staff was super attentive, friendly and helpful with recommendations. We started with bread service (obviously fresh!), escargot and crispy oysters. Yum! Estrés were the salmon and hanger steak, but we had a very tough time choosing! Dessert was also a tough choice! We went with that pear tart and crème brûlée. The paired ice creams with these items were so unique (cardamon and cheesecake flavors!). This is a great place to celebrate something or just indulge in some delicious French fare!

I came in for my birthday with a friend! First I didn't know it was a French restaurant, so I got really excited since I am a very huge fan Of French cuisine. Let me just say the customer service was top notch I felt very special on my birthday and everyone was so kind our server was the best, I loved the complimentary dessert! Thank you! Everything we ordered was amazing, my friend let me taste their sandwich, and it was very unique I never had a sandwich that was in reversed egg and ham on the outside and a layer of bread and cheese on the inside! I had the mussels which had the best flavor and the broth was perfect. It also came with bread different assortments and butter. Honestly though if I had to choose a it's the French onion soup! My God!! The best I've ever had, I am a French onion soup kinda girl!! Whenever I see it on any menu it's my go-to soup choice. I highly recommend the French onion soup here perfect combo of cheese and onions, not too over powering but flavorful and addicting! I'm telling you run don't walk to Can Can for at least the French onion soup!

What an amazing atmosphere! When you walk in and take a look around it really does capture the look of a French restaurant, it's truly beautiful. The service was amazing, we chose to sit at the bar and loved how all the bartenders worked together. Our bartender/server was very nice and gave us suggestions on what to order since we had never been in before. We decided to start with the onion soup and truffle Caesar. The onion soup was decent, but the bread was already soggy when it arrived so I don't feel like I got to experience it at its best. The truffle Caesar salad was a hard NO for me. I get that Caesar salads have anchovies in them but the smell of the salad was awful! It looked great but I could not get past the foul smell it came with. As far as the entrees the were simply okay. Nothing special, and nothing I enjoyed. With all that being said, the drinks were delicious and worth going back for. I enjoyed the espresso martini and they have a great beer selection.

Ash was an awesome waitress! Funny, moved the meal along like clockwork, was a pleasure for us to eat here!

Amanda was great ! Very friendly and anticipated everything we needed !! Wine was so good too! Loved the chick pea fries !!

Nick and Mike knocked it outta the park. Will come back whenever i'm nearby. Nick definitely watched Ren & Stimpy as a kid. 5 stars.

Ellie and Ash were AMAZING bartenders! Couldn't recommend this place more, drinks and food are great. Service is always impeccable

Ash and Ellie are the best bartenders ever. Service was excellent and the drinks were perfectly made. What a delight! Definitely recommend.

When we moved to Richmond 15 years ago, Can Can quickly became our favorite restaurant for lunch and dinner. However, our last visit was a colossal disappointment. We were a party of 6 on a Saturday night a couple of weeks ago. The restaurant was not full at 7:30pm. Before ordering dinner, we all ordered cocktails, which was extremely problematic. There were 3 beers unavailable on the beer menu. Two common tequilas, Lunazul and Casamigos, were unavailable. After ordering, the drinks trickled in. One order had to be sent back twice because it was wrong. It was Titos on the rocks with a wedge of lime. Not complicated. Finally, our friend took his glass to the bar to have it prepared correctly - no tonic, no club soda, etc. The Aperol Spritz came 15 minutes after all of the other orders. The first Spritz drink was delivered to the wrong table and we don't know what caused the rest of the delay. The food was fairly good but not great. The mussels were tough, arrived without the mussel fork and with very little lukewarm broth. We ordered the basket of bread and were told that the specialty breads usually included were unavailable. Not a big deal but it sounded like the restaurant was running low on an awful lot of basics. The service from our waiter was good - he seemed to be at the mercy of the bar and kitchen shortcomings. We understand the ownership is new, which may account for the changes, including the very bright setting with all of the strung lights. At this time, I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. It makes me sad because we have enjoyed going to Can Can for so many years.

The severs and service are awesome and the ambiance is lively. A great gatsby type of fun. The food was very underwhelming. it's one of those places that are trying new things( respectable ),but definitely some big misses. I think I'll be back just to try new things. The biggest turn off is the price. It another Richmond spot with high prices but the food is meh. Shout out the kitchen manager, she was very pleasant and took my criticism very well. I think it's worth trying for the experience and gamble

Two weeks ago, I had lunch at Can Can and was disappointed by how I was treated at the host stand. I was standing directly at the stand while my white male colleague stood several feet away. Two employees walked by without acknowledging me, and when a third approached, she bypassed me completely and greeted him instead. When I spoke up, she never made eye contact and just asked, "Just two today?" On the way out, the same hostess ignored me again but smiled and thanked my colleague for coming. The food was great, but hospitality is about more than that. As a younger Black man, the message was clear -- and my colleague was deeply bothered by it, too. I emailed management multiple times; the PR manager said the GM would respond, but no one ever did.

My Dad has never been to a French restaurant, so I decided to take him here to celebrate his Birthday for Sunday brunch. Prior to this visit, I hadn't been to Can Can in about 10+ years so I was equally excited to visit. We were able to conveniently find parking in Carytown Court instead of having to park on the street; lucky for us as this parking lot can be quite full. Not pictured in this photo nor on the menu is the London Fog that their barista was able to make upon request. I love London Fogs and got lucky that they were able to accommodate. From the Classics section of the menu, I ordered the Quiche Du Jour (Quiche of the Day) which happened to be lobster and paired it with their Onion Soup. Under the Les Oeufs (Eggs) section of the menu, Dad ordered the Scramble Tartine along with the Roasted Beets salad. His Scramble Tartine came out in the form of a french omelette, and ever since this day, I have been obsessed with making french omelettes at home because they are so pretty and satisfying to eat with their buttery exterior and custard-like interior. We also ordered Bread Service (mixed basket of housemate bread with butter) along with a 1/2 dozen Basket of Beignets (pronounced bin YAY), which I described to my Dad as soft pillowy doughnuts. I also ordered three macarons so that my Dad could blow out a candle on his Birthday. Despite not having been back for 10+ years, Can Can is just as lovely as I remembered. Overall, beautiful presentation of food and my Dad rated this restaurant a 10/10. Thank you for creating a memorable Birthday experience for my Dad.

Stopped by for coffee and a bite and having never made it before, barista nailed a perfect latte heart.

Absolutely infuriating experience at Can Can Brasserie. We walked in an hour before closing, and the bartenders immediately acted annoyed, actually saying they wished we hadn't come in because they wanted to go home. If you're open, don't make customers feel like a burden for showing up. The bar wasn't even busy, and there were plenty of bartenders, yet they were completely disorganized. They didn't take cards to open tabs, didn't track who ordered what, and acted like keeping things straight was somehow beneath them. Still, we paid our check in full -- and even tipped $30 -- only to later be accused of walking out without paying. To make it even worse, they charged our friends for OUR drinks instead of owning up to their mistake. Eventually, they found our already-paid check, proving we were right the entire time. We even had to call to set things straight. No apology. No explanation. Just silence after accusing us of theft and sticking someone else with the bill. This was beyond careless -- it was insulting, sloppy, and embarrassing. We tipped generously, $30 for a couple drinks and we were only for maybe 45 minutes, and in return got treated like criminals. Never going back, and I'd seriously warn anyone thinking of going. You deserve better than this place.

Perfect slice of a Paris cafe in Carytown! The cocktails are amazing and the oysters are always on point.

Top-notch French dishes, nice presentation, top-notch friendly and accommodating service; clean and spacious bathrooms. Relatively easy parking. Great location in the heart of Richmond. Very French ambiance (tall ceiling). Slight draw back: very noisy due to how noise bounces off the ceiling and walls (not due to loud music at least). All the cocktails and dishes were great, especially the cod.

Nice clean place with excellent service. We order French onion and the cheese was great but it was a lot of bread and little onions. Next I got the quiche which was pretty good and she got the seafood stew which was okay at best. My main issue was with how salty everything was including the fries and I'm normally a salt freak. Will we go back again? Sadly not. We were hoping it was a fantastic lunch but it was just average and a little pricey at 75 w tip.

A richmond classic for a reason! Excellent french food, beautiful atmosphere, and both kind and inclusive staff.

Finally went to can can for dinner. Had only ever been for lunch. It was definitely an enjoyable night with friends. Service was very friendly with quality recommendations and substitutions as needed. Espresso martini and latte were great. Escargot was good but sauce wasn't as rich as I would have expected. I had the hangar steak "steak frites" style and it was a solid meal. Will definitely return to try other dishes

Delicious oatmilk chai! They were out of the almond croissant so i got a chocolate one instead- they also don't heat their pastries there so i took everything to go. My pastry was great though, just would have liked to enjoy it in the restaurant as the atmosphere was really nice, perfect for a morning bite! Ill be back to try lunch/dinner!

I had been here a few years ago with a group of girlfriends and really enjoyed it. I was back in the area and decided to celebrate a birthday brunch for my adult son. I conveniently made a reservation online and it asks you if you are celebrating a special occasion. I noted "Birthday" on the reservation. But just so you know, it doesn't matter because they did not recognize the occasion at all so I'm not sure why they bother asking. We were seated promptly which was nice at a cozy 4 top. The restaurant was full and the general vibe and atmosphere had good energy for a Sunday afternoon. Our waitress took our drink order and we ordered a basket of beignets right off the bat since we were starving. They arrived super quick to the table, even before our bar drinks. They were piping hot and everyone enjoyed them as we were hungry. The waitress said to eat them off of the paper covering on the table as no small plates were given. So we did that and then had the mess in front of us for the next half hour while we waited for our meals. 30 minutes later our food arrived. We ordered: 2 Eggs in Purgatory 1 Brioche French Toast 1 Salad of Beets with Chicken Mimosa Root Beer Water (comes with no ice) The Eggs in Purgatory ($15) looked the best and seemed to be the most plentiful and filling. The French toast ($11) was lackluster. The syrup was already on the 4 slices which seemed to soak in while it waited to come to the table. It came with nothing else. You can add a side of bacon for $10 if you want. Yes, I said $10! Unimpressive. I ordered the Salad of Beets and the waitress advised me to order the larger of the two offered as she said the less expensive one was small ($10/$13). I added grilled chicken for an additional $8. The larger size was super small as well. Thank goodness I added the protein. I was still hungry when I finished eating. It was flavorful but not enough food. Overall, I was disappointed in the Brunch. The server was not engaging. Pretty much just took the order and quickly checked in on us once to tell us our food was still not ready and she would check with the kitchen. Honestly, this is when a fresh basket of beignets or a drinks should be sent to the table to keep customers content.

We had a great lunch at Can Can Brasserie on W. Carey Street in Richmond! This vibrant French-themed restaurant is bright and fun with lots of seating. We started with glasses of French white wine off the menu to accompany our meals. Our cheerful server brought over a basket of French bread and a special cheese/pepper bread. Both were soft and very good accompanied by a smooth butter spread. Prices were quite reasonable. We ordered the mushroom and leek quiche with mixed greens on the side for $15. The quiche was huge and delicious!! The mixed greens added balance to the dish. The second quiche of the day, cheddar and bacon, was unfortunately sold out by 12:30 p.m. Instead, we ordered the scallops (3 on the plate) in a Parmesan cream sauce with bacon, covered by a crunchy topping for $17. It very good too and a great size for lunch. Our server was helpful and well informed. She offered us a tasting of our wines to ensure we would enjoy them. The restaurant has a great vibe, and from the number of occupied tables, it appears to be popular with the locals.

What a wonderful experience!! I grew up outside of Richmond and despite countless trips to carytown, had never made it here until recently. I went with a few friends for brunch on a rainy day and had a great time. The service was not only speedy but so friendly. We had several dietary restrictions in the group and some indecisiveness, but the waitress was ready and happy to help. The bread and butter was fantastic, but the star was the dressed greens that came with my croque monsieur. The sandwich itself was delicious but definitely heavy, so it was eaten in sessions.
