Phenomenal service from the beginning (instead of waiting in a crowded foyer or outside on a cold, damp Pittsburgh day, you wait in a basement with benches and free coffee/tea) to the very end of our meal. I'm not a doughnut person, but if E2 can turn me, then it can turn you too.\n\nOur table had the berry white doughnuts (delicious and fresh with just the right amount of sweetness), sriracha zeppollis (OMG I do not have words-- yummy, spicy and parmesan-y), and the beignets (simple but light and fluffy). Dessert before breakfast? E2 can make that happen.\n\nI had the press plate and it was great, met my expectations, but honestly all I could think about was more doughnuts. The polenta was extremely popular in our group-- I'm not personally a huge fan, but I tried the polenta pepperonata and the sauce was incredible. Also, making a mental note to try the french toast next time. If you're within a twenty mile radius of Highland Park, come and give E2 a chance for brunch. It won't disappoint!
