Title: Mixed Brunch Experience at Savoir Restaurant
I recently visited Savoir Restaurant during restaurant week, excited by the enticing lunch menu I had perused beforehand. However, upon arriving at around 2:30 PM (Saturday) my excitement was tempered as I discovered they were still serving brunch. If I had been aware that brunch was the only option available (which I did not see anywhere), I might have chosen a different time to visit. Nonetheless, we decided to stay and explore the offerings.
To start, we ordered cocktails--the Savoir Gin and Tonic, which was beautifully balanced with a delightful touch of peach, and the Spicy Watermelon, which, unfortunately, lacked the expected spice.
The meal took off on a positive note with the Biscuits and Jam. The biscuits were a perfect blend of fluffy and crispy, accompanied by two delectable homemade jams and whipped butter. A savory butter might have elevated the experience a little bit more.
Moving on to the main courses, we tried the Chef's Breakfast and the Brisket Hash. The Chef's Breakfast was a standard affair, with unseasoned eggs and mildly seasoned potatoes. I think we were expecting a twist on a standard breakfast based on the rest of the menu but I'd really fell flat. The Brisket Hash, however, shone with its pleasing flavors, though a touch more salt could have heightened the experience for my personal taste.
We also had the Vietnamese coffee and Cantarito both impressed with their flavors.
The dining experience concluded with the Bread Pudding, which regrettably leaned towards the heavier and drier side compared to our expectations. The promised blackberry notes were subtle, failing to fully shine through.
While my overall impression of Savoir Restaurant was positive, with their promising lunch and dinner menus beckoning, I find myself hesitant to return for brunch in the future. The potential I glimpsed during this visit encourages me to explore their other offerings on a return visit.
Atmosphere: mid to loud side
Interior: really nice bar (plenty of seating), booths, tables, half booth/tables. Clean and Elegant.
