The Eastside

Food was great but pricey. 5$ to add bacon is quite expensive. Mimosas were lacking flavor although they were strong. So that's good. Food was good as well and got seated pretty quickly despite being told it would be about an hour wait. Everyone was friendly and the whole place was nice. Water glasses smelled like eggs though so that was a bit disgusting. Parking also was full so had to find street parking.

Service was very slow, despite an empty restaurant. No issue getting a table. I ordered a kale Caesar salad, but did not receive any kale on my plate. This place is very overpriced for the experience.

The food is okay but there are no vegan entrees. The avocado toast’s bread was low quality and corn on avocado toast was very weird. The food is also pricey, a fruit bowl as $10 😵‍💫. The mimosa carafe is a decent deal but they should bring back bottomless mimosas. It was overall okay.

Sunday brunch -- you guessed it, packed. But we got a parking spot only one street away, and we were able to make a reservation that morning, arriving just before 1 pm. Casual fun vibes. Group and family friendly! The portions are really big for some things such as fries and french toast (which we had had before). For other items, not so much. We got some arugula salad that was mainly a pile of dressed arugula for 19 dollars. Sparse on cheese, a few thin slices of apple, missing the fruit, and exactly 6 pieces of candied pecans (huh?). Flavor was not bad. I'd say not worth it. Pricey even for ATX. I guess you don't go for salad. We also ordered mac n cheese with buffalo cauliflower since they were out of the blackened chicken. Very yummy, but I'd skip the cauliflower because it was drenched in sauce. (I miss the old mac n cheese with shells as pasta!) Additionally got the avo toast, which is boldly served as sliced baguette halves but makes up for it in flavor. Colorful, playful, and hits the senses with acidity and crunch. Things they were out of that day: blackened chicken, salmon, fruit cup. It's the business's main day of the week, so I hope that that's an anomaly. Do recommend getting your mimosa on here! But go elsewhere for coffee. Medium-sized cup but they poured it two-thirds of the way full.
