I went back a couple of months ago to try out their then-new brunch menu.
For daily breakfast, I typically have a pastry or a coffee cake like this with coffee. The coffee cake was deliciously buttery and I enjoyed the crumbles on top.
Brunch, however, calls for eggs, like this Cast iron frittata with California wild mushrooms, smoked sardo, caramelized pearl onions ($14)
Oxtail hash, sous vide egg, roasted potatoes, leeks, charred peppers ($14)
This was a really nice dish; the roasted potatoes had a lightly crisped skin, the eggs were perfectly runny, and the charred peppers tied the flavors together.
Breakfast sandwich, chicken-fennel sausage, balsamic braised kale, roasted egg, aioli, ciabatta ($13)
I loved this breakfast sandwich, which offers a different flavor than your typical egg and sausage sandwiches thanks to the braised kale.
Shrimp and stone-cut grits, over-easy egg, fennel frisee salad ($16)
Interesting that they left the heads on the shrimp, which I thought made it little harder to eat. I liked the over easy egg, though - the runny yolk added to the creaminess of the dish.
Brioche french toast, nutella, candied pecans, Noble maple syrup ($12)
I mean, how can you go wrong with this?
Despite the fact that I just had a plate of Nutella brioche french toast, I got dessert anyway. A mainstay on their dessert menu is their Butterscotch bread pudding (brioche, brown sugar sauce, bruleed marshmallows, $9)
Their brunch cocktail list includes a Sorbet sangria (housemade sorbet, agave, lemon, vodka, sparkling wine, $10)
If you (or your friends) don't feel like day-drinking that day, they have a number of fun homemade lemonades and sodas, as well, like this non-alcoholic sour blueberry cooler ($5.50)
Psst, there are plugs under the bar here, so you can charge your phone while you eat and drink, or plop down with a laptop and work accompanied by a glass of wine.
