We wanted to like this place, really we did.  And there a lot of things to like - cozy ambiance, friendly service, awesome beignets.  But the food was, in our opinion, just \"meh.\"\n\nWe came here for brunch on a Sunday morning and tried the Zucchini risotto cakes and the french toast.  The french toast was better than the risotto cakes, which had a crispy exterior so crispy that it was like chewing on ... I dunno, rocks?  Definitely beyond the crispy stage and moving into the rock stage.  Anyway, so that wasn't so great, but the french toast was legitimately tasty.  Was it $11 tasty?  I guess where it goes wrong (for me) is that I used to get a stuffed French toast from Dozen (back when they were open) that was seriously good stuff that probably cost about the same.  So... in the matchup against good ole Dozen's Sunday brunch, this couldn't compare.  And that made me sad.  =(\n\nWe're game to give it another try, but it's just a Meh to us.  We'd rather go to Casbah or Frick Cafe.
