Tried The Sunday Restaurant this Sunday, and thought it was impressively good! So much so that my BF (a notoriously pedantic diner), wants to go back!
The location is a cute, cozy, unassuming spot, one street over from one of Emeryville's busiest intersections (3986 Adeline St, Emeryville), so parking can be a challenge.
I had the beef bulgogi eggs benedict, and my BF had the country friend chicken benedict. Both were amazing! The poached eggs were perfect and the chipotle hollandaise sauce is ::chef's kiss::
We both opted for the tater tots (over home fries) and the tots were golden, crispy and not greasy. There's a wall of over a hundred hot sauces you can choose a bottle from, and I was delighted to see Crystal's was on there. (because I'm a weenie when it comes to spicy)
We also split the croffle because it was hard to resist a "waffle on a croissant dough topped with vanilla ice cream and shredded brown cheese.". I knew I'd be going to IKEA after this, so why not indulge in a little big backery if I know I'm going to walk it off in the human rat maze anyway... But I digress.
To drink, we also tried a Korean muscat grape soda (non-alcoholic) which the BF really liked, but I did not because it has sucralose as its sweetener and I have a synthetic sugar sensitively (omg, that is the most Californian thing I've ever typed) but if diet sodas are your thing, then you'll probably like this.
The employees and chef are super nice, and you can really tell how much they care about their establishment through the warm / friendly interactions with the guests!
It's an extremely popular spot for weekend brunch, and seating is limited, so there may be a little bit of a wait if you go during peak times. We arrived right after the rush (at around 1:15 PM), we were seated within 10 min. There's limited outdoor seating on the sidewalk that has better availability than indoors, but be prepared / bundled if you choose this option. There are plastic windscreens to help mitigate the cold, but there are no heaters outside, so dress accordingly.
Overall 10/10 spot. Definitely would go back to dry the K-inspired omelets, Lemon ricotta pancakes, and / or the Loco Moco. Looking forward to my next visit!
