Certainly would NOT recommend this place. At least not for brunch. It appears I'm not the only one. My daughter and I went there this morning at around 11 am and it was virtually empty. 2 tables with 4 people total. We ordered from the brunch menu which appeared to be totally foreign to our waitress. I ordered the brisket hash with poached eggs. She ordered an omelet. 25 minutes later our plates were delivered. Cold, dry brisket. Potatoes which tasted as if they were cooked last Tuesday. Omelet runny. Hot salsa (huh? ) on a separate plate with a container of something somewhat yellowish, cold unidentifiable congealed. Poached eggs were cold and hard boiled. Sent it back. Asked waitress what the unidentifiable substance was. She wasn't sure but thought it was honey mustard. I had tasted it and although I couldn't tell what it was I knew it wasn't honey. Or mustard. Her next guess was "maybe it's butter?" Wrong again. She then asked if she could take it back into the kitchen to ask what it was. Hmmmm.. came back 10 minutes later (I still didn't have a plate of breakfast) and announced, proudly that the cold, congealed, lumpy substance was indeed hollandaise sauce. Alrighty! Hash was delivered a second time. Still dry and cold with hard boiled "poached" eggs. This time with a cold (and for some reason also wet and soggy) English muffin. Game over. I'd rather have an egg McMuffin. Manager covered the tab for the edges of my daughters omelet which was the only edible part of that meal. Never. Again. Stick to the beer.

Great brisket - good beer - The service was excellent
