At 10:35, I walked up to the restaurant - the place looked wide open and inviting - only to be told that the restaurant was close until 11. Walked around the beautiful neighborhood for half-an-hour and returned, hungry and eager to try the dishes you so nicely described. Turns out, brunch starts at 11:30! That is lunch, folks, not brunch. What is it with restaurants trumpeting their "brunch" and then keeping exactly the same hours as for lunch (Kanella across the street also serves "brunch" at 11:30, when they serve lunch Mo-Fr). I am the only person who thinks that brunch hours should include part of the morning? Let's say 9-3, or at least before 11? Needless to say, I did not wait around for another half-hour and left for a place where brunch starts at 8:30! Yeah!
