I have been meaning to try them out for a while and our air conditioning broke so prime chance for a weekday brunch and work session lol
The good: 1) the location is convenient. Right off of the silver Spring metro station, there is a Montgomery County garage right next door that does offer all day parking. 2) the space is beautifully decorated with warm woods and lots of greenery- even the BATHROOM is a vibe; 3) the service- I was greeted immediately, sat quickly and the server was prompt, friendly but didn't hover. I had work and calls and was able to get to em done. 4) the menu is pretty broad. I figure there is something for almost any type of eater there (I didn't check for and don't have allergies neither am I a vegan, so take this with a grain of salt) and 5) my iced coffee- cardamom and rose- was a standout. 4/5
The meh- honestly, I asked what the best thing on the brunch menu was and I was recommended a geuyere leek quiche which sounded AMAAAAZING and it DEFINITELY had the potential to be but it was slightly cold and when I asked do it to be warmed it came back clearly microwaved (which makes sense) but the crust was overcooked and soggy and then the middle was cold again 30 seconds later even though, to their credit it WAS hot at first. The flavor was there and honestly I'd try it again, but it was a little salty- Gruyère is a saltier cheese- so that's something. The salad dressing was SO Good but there was SO MUCH OF IT. 2/5
Overall 3.5/5 I rounded up for the service. If go again but I think the food is standard dinerish fare and they might benefit from a smaller more focused menu with only their best dishes. read more
