This past Saturday while out and about in the Porsche with the top down, on a beautiful California morning, the end of the drive was Encinitas and our stomachs were growling for a meal and a beverage. After parking the car shortly before 1PM, we took a stroll along the main street in search of a proper establishment to meet our dining needs, and Roxy looked like the place. Nestled along the street, boasting sidewalk seating with ultimate "people watching" opportunities, the only additional requirement was a good menu, and their brunch menu checked all the boxes! After being seated, we were welcomed and greeted by Lucie and offered some cool water as we began the selection process. Arriving at the Pastrami Benedict, Chicken & Waffles, and two Pample Mousse Cocktails, we proceeded to gaze at the never ending parade of people passing before us. Roxy is very hipster, casual, dog friendly, beachy, and comfortable with outdoor and indoor seating. On Saturdays after 1PM, there is a 3.95% entertainment fee for live musical performances. When the food and beverages arrived, everything looked very delicious! The Pastrami Benedict was topped with perfectly prepared egg that oozed a rich yolk over the dish, and a single bite was heavenly, and the side of fried potatoes crisp on the outside and tender on the inside and completely complemented the dish. As for the Chicken and Waffles; it was presented on skewers and looked as if it was missing something. Somewhat of a "de-constructed" Chicken and Waffles consisting of just a drizzle of syrup on the plate. The chicken tenders were moist, and the waffles pieces were dry! Visually, I thought the plate was lacking cohesion and flavor. Requested additional syrup, but it didn't rescue the entrée, and it was not visually appealing. The cocktails were extremely refreshing, and complemented the meal and the ambiance of the establishment, aside from the unnecessary musical entertainment. Great customer service provided by Lucie! Very attentive, pleasant, professional, and accommodating. Overall, a great time, and I will return for the Pastrami Benedict! read more
