It's that time again. Early November is birthday time, and that means that we again used my Big Burrito Birthday Coupon for Sunday Brunch. This year, I chose Eleven for brunch. As usual, service was terrific and the food delicious. Especially my beignets. And the cannoli dessert.
 |
| I had a mimosa for my brunch cocktail. SP decided to try the Bloody Trio: Bloody Mary (vodka, pickled vegetable), Bloody Maria (tequila, tomatillo, cilantro), and Bloody Molly (whiskey, celery). He liked the Mary best and found the Maria was spicier than he expected. |
 |
| The bread basket: mini biscuits, mini muffins, and a croissant. |
 |
| Raspberry jam and honey butter |
 |
| Flaky croissant |
 |
| Beignets, apple, brandy, ginger sugar. Pillowy puffs of fried dough dusted with sugar in a yummy sauce with thin slivers of apple. Moist, warm, delicious interiors. |
 |
| Duck Hash. SP's appetizer. He really liked it and it disappeared before I had much chance to inspect his plate! |
 |
| Smoked Lamb Huevos Rancheros, fried eggs, tomatillo salsa, goat cheese, refried lentils. SP's entree. A little too spicy/too much Mexican flavor for me (I tried a bite of the lamb; this kind of cuisine & its flavors/seasonings are not one of my favorites), but he really liked it. The lamb was very tender and flavorful and there was a very generous mound of the lamb. |
 |
| Mushroom, Roasted Red Pepper, and Goat Cheese Omelet, fingerling potatoes, bacon or sausage. Fluffy omelet, not browned on the exterior, lots of filling, delicious sausage - but such a big portion! After eating all the beignets and the bread basket goodies, I could only manage about half my omelet and I brought the rest home. |
 |
| Roasted Pear Cannoli. Of course we had to have dessert. Three mini cannoli with a delicious and creamy filling, pistachios on the ends, roasted pear bits, a creamy sauce. Just the right size for sharing as we sipped some post meal hot tea and relaxed. |
