Talk about darkness! It was like walking into a nightclub in the middle of the day. My eyes had to adjust and it hit me completely off-guard. Not what I was expecting for a Mother's Day Brunch.
The food, however overpriced; was a completely different story. My steak melted in my mouth. No, it did not look pretty on my plate. I don't know what they were going for stylistically when they decided to place that great big old glob of an egg on top of the steak. But somehow the flavors of the steak and the egg really worked together. I definitely would order another steak from this place.
Steak and Eggs
Items off the prix fixe menu were clearly smaller than the regular menu. Two people in our party had Bananas Foster for dessert. The one who ordered from the regular menu received almost twice the portion size of the other foster and it was set on fire while the prix fixe foster was not. Not a big deal, but it does not go unnoticed when people have the same but "different" item and service.
My 9 year-old was bummed we made him order off the kid's menu, but we just couldn't see spending $50 on his meal when he was still allowed to order from the $15 kid's menu. Mom and dad just made sure to order things to his liking so he could "share". And that works out quite well when you don't feel like taking home leftovers.
By the end of the meal, my eyes had finally adjusted to the darkness just in-time to be greeted by the sun-shiny day. Not the best choice for Mother's Day. But since the food is so good, we'll be back - and when we do, it will be for dinner - without the kids!
