Time for something off the beaten path! I thought as I headed to Jefferson street to eat brunch at the Garden Brunch Cafe. The restaurant is set inside a house that is very comfortable and welcoming. It's a spot most don't know about as I've come to find out after raving about it to a few friends of mine. This August 2011 they are going to do a special dinner booking every Thursday with live Jazz and a multi-course dinner. For now though they are a "Brunch Only" establishment.

Drinks:
Wine and Champagne only. 5 different specialty Mimosa's. Fruit Tea. Ginger Tea. Specialty Brazilian Coffee with flavors. See menu pictures below for more details.

Meals Reviewed:

Banana Foster Pancakes - OMG! this is amazing. Like really, really amazing. These pancakes are the best pancakes I've had in a long time. Banana Foster topping, walnuts with a warm buttery syrup and real whip cream. AMAZING! Wait... did I say amazing?

German Town West Benny - This is their own take on Eggs Benedict. It has smoked salmon and spinach. I ordered a side of their potatoes which were very delicious and had their own original spice blend peppered on them. This is fun if you way to change it up from the traditional Eggs Benedict. Plating was beautiful and quite elegant.

Service:

The server was very attentive, available when I needed him and extremely welcoming.

Price / Value:

It is a bit more expensive than plain old breakfast, but hey, this is not a plain old breakfast. They have less expensive and simple items on the menu if you don't want the fancy stuff.

Pros: Cozy atmosphere in the house. Very tasty and uniquely prepared selections.

Cons: I've heard on Sunday's it can get very crowded. I arrived Saturday at 1:00 and there wasn't any wait.

Summary:

Elegant brunch and creative tasty dishes. Pro Tip: you can order a side of any of their specialty pancakes if you want to sample more than one dish. Get the Banana Foster Pancakes they are fantastic.
