Once again, breakfast is on the menu. This time we're on Monroe Street at a place that takes an extravagant view of breakfast.
Rating:***** (Over-Indulgent)
Food: (Brunch) The Bluephies breakfast menu is heavy on two of the top ways to gorge yourself before Noon: French Toast and Eggs Benedict. We tried both. The Eggs Benedict is only slightly satisfying. The hollandaise- which more or less makes the meal- was not as flavorful as I've had other places. The side of potatoes was nice, but a bit greasy. The Bananas Foster French Toast was all that you might expect. It's a sugar explosion of bananas cooked in oil served on thick sourdough slices and drizzled in a mixture of syrup and caramel. Needless to say, it's pretty much happiness on a plate. I will say though that not getting the syrup on the side is a big pain- if you go, see if they will give it to you separate so you can control your portions. Also, I wish they served with with a little fruit or yogurt, so you have something to temper the sugar bomb between bites.
The menu also includes a selection of traditional egg dishes, scramblers, breakfast burritos and beignets. No oatmeal or granola to be found.
Service: No complaints. Wait staff was friendly and mostly attentive, until we needed the check, but they let us talk for about a half an hour afterwards, with no hassle.
Atmosphere: Bright, open and airy, the modern layout of the building is pleasing on a sunny day. There are at least two big dinning rooms, with booths around the edges and some tables. The restaurant is not very old, so it is in great shape. For being as big and open as it is, I don't remember it being very noisy, though that may change with students back in town.
Cost: $ (All items under $10)
