After our stay-cation at the Rumor Hotel, my group of besties and I decided to go to brunch so we could nurse our hangover! LOL. I've reviewed this place once before, however my opinion has slightly changed for the better. On my last visit, I checked out the bar portion. This time, I went and tried the bistro part of the Arts Factory. \n\nThe bistro is uber cute! The lights are dim for an intimate setting. There's exposed brick and air ducts to give the industrial feel. The focal point of the d\u00e9cor is a golden sandwich star-type structure. Each booth has a high back which makes for an intimate feel. What I really like are the tables. Thick wooden tables shaped like painters palates. The only problem was that the table was so thick that it didn't give a lot of room to move into the booth. Still, it was cute! I don't know what our server's name was but he was delightful. The only server there, so it took a while for service at times, but he had a lot of personality. He was a thin Latino guy with an accent. \n\nFor brunch, I decided to get the Carne Omelet for $13. This omelet was filled with pancetta, Spanish chorizo, maple chicken, Cabrales cheese, roasted tomatoes and shallots. This omelet was good! The pancetta is a little tangy, big chunks of flavorful chorizo and savory chicken pieces. The cheese was more on the tangy side and made the omelet super good. The eggs were fluffy and this omelet super flavorful! The only gripe about this dish was the size. Compare to other great brunch joints, I definitely got more for my money. I would have appreciated some kind of starch like hash browns or even toast. \n\nI'm glad I got to visit the other side of Bar + Bistro. It certainly changed my original view and I will certainly be back. Remember that it's more of a specialty bistro. Prices are a little higher than what I think they should be, however, it's delicious! Come check them out, especially for brunch!
