Yelp Review

From the website



Okay first off, here lies unlimited bloody marys/bellinis/mimosas/screwdrivers/champagne at brunch for 15 dollars.  You had me at hello.

I had brunch here with some former classmates of mine from URI.  I wanted to pick a location close to Port Authority since my friend had a bus to catch afterward.  This place had decent reviews and although I was worried at first by the location, it is truly beautiful and sleek inside.

Lina stuck with coffee.  I chose a bellini as my bottomless drink and Kaoru chose a bloody mary... I think.  After the waiter coming by ensuring my glass was never empty I probably blanked out on a couple of things, haha.  I thought it was weak enough at first, but probably not since by my 5th one I was done.   I know, weak!  But it was only noon on a Sunday, my brain can't handle that!


There are plenty of choices here, simple like oatmeal or more elaborate like a lobster omelet.  There are also more lunch style options, but the point of brunch for me is to get breakfast.  Kaoru did like her turkey burger, which was pretty big.  Lina and I chose breakfast.  She got the eggs with smoked salmon.  As for my food, it was a nice big plate and overall good food.  I took the suggestion from our waiter and ordered the HK fritata, which comprised of merguez sausage, bell peppers and salsa.  It was good, but with all that drinking I wish I had ordered a side of toast.  Instead I ate Lina's toast!

Overall I would love to come here again.  Although I hear there are better brunch spots, this one was quite top-notch.  Plus there is a flea market next door! Good for me to walk off my champagne buzz!
