I really enjoy this restaurant and it's unique twist on dishes such as red velvet waffles and filet eggs benedict. The red velvet waffles I had for "breakfast"- which to all that know me know I don't arise til around 10am.- were sweet without being sickly sweet with a yummy cream cheese drizzle topping. The croque madam was also very tasty and the traditional eggs benedict were perfect.
What I did not enjoy was the shrimp and grits swimming in sausage grease (about 1" was floating on top of the entree). I tried dabbing at it with a napkin, but not even the Bounty guy would have been able to help me.
Gag me with a spork!
The buffalo chicken sandwich which was quite tasty without alot of fried batter- BUT the brioche bun was so hard it tasted stale. And the onion rings were so-so, cut a little too thick for me.ooops- I forgot to take the picture until after me friend already dug in!
My ultimate complaint is the S'Mores french toast, the whole reason I wanted to go to the restaurant originally- the PICTURE of this rich looking, oooy-gooey marshmallow and chocolate concoction. I ordered it as dessert (because it looked too rich to eat as a meal- especially breakfast)- see picture I took. My pic looks NOTHING like the luring picture they dangled out in various local magazines to get me (and you) to come in the door. Soooooo sad was I! And I ordered it TWICE (on two separate trips) to give them the benefit of the doubt that maybe on the first visit they were running low on ingredients and the chef had to skimp on the marshmallow and chocolate- but I got the same result.......dry toast disappointment. Please guys try to make it look like the picture!!!They've got a fun concept and a great thing going-just needs a little tweaking.
Order carefully and make sure you bring a sweater, it has always been fairly chilly inside (and I'm usually hot).
