by Leah G. on Excellent Excellent Brunch!! I heard about the brunch here from two different people this week and decided to try it when my dad came to visit for the weekend. My father can be a difficult diner to please, but even he loved the brunch there. I had the egg panino, and will say my order was not my favorite of the group. My father had the breakfast burrito which was excellent. He would not stop raving about the sauce that came on the side. The french toast was also incredible . . . and I am not a sweet breakfast person at all. The only downside of Cafe Lift is the outdoor seating. We tried to sit outside but had to move inside because the street was too dirty for outdoor dining. Other than that minor setback, it is worth the trip. I will definitely be adding this to my brunch list. (And you can BYO!)
by Herma Birkes on Top Flr, which I can't stop calling "Top Fler," is probably my current favorite. I've been twice and was impressed both times. The prices were totally reasonable, and the overall quality was unexpectedly superb. I really thought that the $13 tuna tartar appetizer was going to be a disappointingly small heap of tuna, because generally, it seems like tuna is always overpriced and/or under-proportioned. However, when it came out, I was shocked because it's a freaking massive portion and was some of the best tuna tartar I've had in awhile. We've split a side both times (the spaetzle), because honestly, the main portions are plenty. I've gotten the scallops both times as well, and each time I considered licking my plate to be sure I didn't waste a bit of deliciousness. Again, the portions were really great for the price. For $15, I expected a few decent sized scallops, but I was again surprised to find 4 giant scallops smiling at me from my plate. The fourth scallop was a little hidden behind some garnish, and when I discovered it, I was disturbingly excited. The first time I had them, they were served with a lemongrass reduction and braised endive. The endive was real bad, but I was so entranced by the tasty scallops alongside the zip of the lemongrass, I didn't even mind. On round two of the scallops when we made our return visit, they served them over a sweet potato puree, and it was great as well. However, I was a little disappointed because I felt like the sweet potato puree was just too easy and lacked creativity. I mean, I still ate the shit out of it and was pleased as punch with the entire meal, but I really appreciated the lemongrass and endive because it was a delicious, new, creative favor(even though the endive blew). The ambiance is sort chic and I like it. The wait staff has been okay. I don't think they've been amazing, but they served the food and poured the wine, so I don't have any complaints. Overall, I love this place. I can't wait to go back again, I just hope I can tear myself away from the scallops and try a new dish.
