We finally tried eat this past weekend and I'm sorry to say that I don't think the experience matched my expectations.\n\nWe came for brunch, and the brunch menu is different from the breakfast menu online so the truffled egg sandwich I wanted to order wasn't actually on the menu. :( Instead, I had beignets, which were just ok. They were moist and doughy, not the light fluffy texture I associate with beignets. There was a box of Cafe du Monde beignet mix sitting on a shelf in the kitchen so I guess maybe they use that? But the texture was unlike the real thing and not even like the ones I've made with the same mix at home. They were served with a really tasty jam that greatly improved the flavor, though.\n\nI also found the coffee to be a bit weak, which is normally not something I would not even bother to mention, but I think it's important for a breakfast/brunch spot to have great coffee.\n\nMy husband had a chicken-fried steak which I did not sample. I did try all of the accompaniments, though, and the potatoes, eggs and especially the toast were all pretty delicious. Maybe savory food is the way to go here!\n\nOur waitress was pleasant if a bit scattered and we did get seated right away despite it being basically peak breakfast time. I am willing to give eat another shot- I hear that a dog-friendly patio is in the works so since we live, like, ridiculously close, we will be back, pug in tow, for weekday breakfast or maybe lunch when that opens up.
