The brunch menu is mostly a price fixe ($15) of an entree, coffee or tea and your choice of 1 cocktail, which is a pretty great deal. All the entrees sounded brunchy and good. Each person at our table got a nice variety of dishes from the menu. I got the eggs florentine, dan got the duck hash, Kristin got the french toast, Jenn got the spinach frittata, Vivi got the eggs benedict and Erik got a salmon dish. I liked the fact that the brunch cocktails variety was a bit more than your typical bloody mary or mimosa. I got a strawberry puree and champagne cocktail which was very sweet but worth trying.
My one pet peeve with our experience there was the slow to almost non-existent service. When we got there, there was only 1-2 other tables that were full, so you would think that our waiter would be pretty attentive. But instead, we got our cocktails and then he never brought out our coffees/teas, which,during a weekend brunch meal, I think is a pretty big no-no. Our food came out relatively quickly and they all looked pretty good. I had no real complaints about my meal, although it only came with 4 small potatoes, I would have preferred either no potatoes or a larger portion. Having only 4 is too much of a tease, but the 4 that I did have were pretty good. The eggs were poached correctly and there was a lot of spinach on each muffin. I heard that the French Toast dish was pretty sweet and tasty. We only finally got our coffee after I asked our waiter about it and even then they completely forgot Erik's coffee. While the food was fine and a good deal, I was kind of hungry less than 2 hours later. Dan and I actually came home and grilled some burgers when we got home a few hours later. While I listed this under Italian, our brunch food was pretty typical American style. I believe the lunch/dinner menus are much more Italian focused. Total bill was $19/pp.
