went this morning, between the table we had the octopus and grits, tongue benny, sweetbread waffle and coffee/tea/juice
food was all quite good. octopus and grits was delicious, served with a poached egg (that i assume was cooked in an immersion circulator due to the consistency/texture, i appreciate the attempt but it just wasn't as good as a normal poached egg, someone please correct me if i'm wrong on this but either way the egg wasn't that great) and a piquillo pepper sauce. octopus was lightly coated in breadcrumbs or something and fried, very tender and delicious, grits were appropriately cheesy and garnished with some kind of microgreens, the pepper sauce was good but i would prefer more of a kick, but that's just me.
tongue benny was basically the tongue sandwich from the hoof minus a piece of bread, and plus the same eggs as the octopus and hollandaise, i only had a couple bites of this but it was well done, everything seemed correctly seasoned and the hollandaise was tasty. not awe-inspiring but good
the sweetbreads were breaded and fried and seemed underseasoned to me but i didn't have a big taste. waffle was tasty, a nice play on the (what i have always found dull) standard chicken & waffle, but i usually don't go for sweets at breakfast so it was a bit lost on me, it was topped with some kind of syrup based sauce that might've been spicy? i don't really remember.
coffee was a large french press of sam james for eight bucks, we got about four small cups out of it, i would've gladly had a couple more but not for eight bucks. oh and a smallish cranberry juice that i assume was fresh was five bucks (FIVE BUCKS!!!) which seems a bit steep to me, but what do i know about juice?
overall a very tasty meal and i'll be back next week to try a couple other things. boom
