Grits with pot roast rounds out the heartier end of the menu, and a full bakery program backs up the kitchen's range beyond the griddle. Beverage director Jef Tate runs a cocktail program serious enough to anchor its own weekday tasting menu, Tuesday through Friday — a genuinely unusual add-on for a breakfast spot, more typical of a dinner-focused restaurant.
The restaurant has also run seasonal special events, including a $69-per-person High Tea on the Veranda, showing a willingness to build out programming beyond the standard daily menu. It's a real Hyde Park standout for a neighborhood that doesn't always get credit for having a destination-worthy breakfast scene.
