Do you really want to go shopping after Thanksgiving? Let’s paint a picture for you. What sounds better? Waiting in line at a department store to save 10% on a TV? Or A special Black Friday brunch featuring $20 bottomless mimosas, and our full brunch menu? This is obviously a rhetorical question, because brunch is a no-brainer! We’re going to take this time to quickly walk you through some features on our menu that you may have overlooked. Maybe you forgot about them because you’ve been so busy preparing for the holidays. Maybe you just need a quick refresher on why brunch is such a better option than standing in line!

What’s on the menu?
Our full menu can be found on our website, and there is a lot to talk about. You can never go wrong starting off with our avocado toast with radishes, fennel, and citrus. Or maybe you want to have some oysters from our oyster bar (west coast, and east coast). If breakfast is more your speed, might we suggest our liege waffle with sauce jubilee, sumac & honey butter, and thai basil. If all these choices are making you work up an appetite, let’s make things easy for you and recommend our Venteux burger with Gruyère fondue, frisée and mache greens, local tomatoes, and garlic aioli. And when all is said and done, let’s just clean that palate for you with a slice of key lime tart with graham cracker crust, key lime custard, and toasted meringue. We know what you’re thinking. All this talk about food is making you thirsty, right?
What are we drinking?
If you’re looking for some hair of the dog, we strongly recommend starting with a cocktail from our liquid breakfast menu. Our offerings include but are not limited to our signature bloody mary, and mimosa*. If you’re looking for something to make you a little more chipper, our espresso bar is second to none, and a sparkling iced espresso may be your new weekday brunch drink of choice. We also know that cocktails and coffee might not be your thing. Our full drink menu includes beer (draft and bottle), champagne, red wine, white wine, and champagne. We know pairing can be difficult sometimes, so when in doubt, talk to your server, and they’ll always steer you in the right direction.
*and let’s not forget about our Black Friday special: $20 bottomless mimosas! Everybody has got to have a doorbuster on Black Friday, so we figured we’d do it right this year.
