Brunch On Mothers day :) 

Brunch here is a two courses and drinks are a la carte... 

The Shrimp and Grits 

My Hubby thought this was delicious... I loved the charred flavor on the shrimp portion I got to taste, and the grits (polenta) was really nice! I would love the bigger portion next time!

My First Course

Muscles in Champange Sauce

Holy cow was this amazing! So amazing I had to get another order of this dish... I didn't even want my second course any more... This has to be the best muscle dish I ever had in my life!... Hence the lucky free mini order then full paid order that followed!!

Hubby and I got this Bellini, The were only $5 a piece and very delicious... We were getting drunk quick.. The mix was some type of pear and peach combo with the champagne... So good!!

My order of pancakes.. they were cool, but my eyes and heart were fixated on the muscles.. so I requested having these packed to go.. which I eventually ended up forgetting and oh well...

French Toast

He said it was amazing, I tried it and it was... no complaints on my end... only that I didn't want the pancakes and wondered why I ordered them instead of the crepes...

How cute is the syrup and whip cream on the side though!

Try this Place out! I know I will again... Oh and they have a cigar lounge downstairs... I am going to try that ish one day!

Barrique Kitchen and Wine Bar

Nice Sunday Brunch !

Happy Hour Sangrias

These were nice and refreshing to drink and pared well with anything as per the waiter we had suggested

Shrimp Oreganato

The pizza I think we both fought one another for the last two slices

It was flavorful, delicious and so welcoming

I will most lightly try and recreate this at home one day 

Lobster Sliders

These were cool but It had more filler than Lobster and could have been better 

I would highly recommend this place to any one who is in the area!

A hidden Gem indeed!



Cucumber Fresca

My drink... It was cool as a cucumber... consisted of white wine and fresca... simple as that!!!!

Wine Cooler

Not my favorite drink... red wine and coke... it did not taste good..but my friend liked it 

Flower Power Beer

This beer was amazing... nice, light and fruity. Look this beer up I promise you a good deal!

Watermelon Fresca

Watermelon Fresca plus white wine... As simple as that!

WAFFLES

 Two buckwheat waffles topped with cinnamon butter 

This was a good waffle. i'm not used to this flavor profile but I loved it. not your typical butter milk taste... it had a nice rustic flavor to it!! And the strawberry compote rounded the dish out perfectly!!! 

Cornmeal-fried catfish

Oh this CATFISH was amazing!!!!! Nicely breaded... and that sauce next to it was out of this world... I only wish I had another piece of fish because it was that damn good guys...

Unmasking hidden gems in BK is awesome.. I'd say go check this place out and have a great time!!!

Breakfast at the Majestic Hotel

For $5.75 you bet brunch was excellent.

Here we have a Belgian waffle that was so fluffy and and yummy. It wasn't too sweet just right, and the butter pulled it all together with the whipped cream and syrup. The strawberries were so fresh, tasted like they had a tree out back. Having this at the hotel your sleeping at was like a cherry on a sundae!!!

I had fresh squeezed Orange Juice that was really good. Sorry no picture because it didn't stand a chance of surviving it!.

Park Cafe!!

Brunch Is always the best time of day :) 

A friend and I went to Park cafe for brunch and the food was pretty good. My friend had the item below which was called a Healthy Sloppy It was smothered in a bed of cheese and it looked pretty darn tasty. I didn't have a bite, but looking back now I wish I did :( 

I had the Mexican Omelet with avocado in it. It was pretty good, Exactly what i wanted to eat and more, I was also given a few extra slices of avocado because I didn't see or taste it in the beginning. The Home fries were pretty tasty as well. Looking back at this is making me hungry once again.   

If your in the area I suggest trying this place out. The servers are really generous and easy going. I love it when the staff aren't mean on a weekend morning :)
