Who doesn't like the sound of brunch?? The embodiment of the weekend -- relaxing with friends, family, and loved ones over a nice meal with yummy food, drink, and good conversation. Brunch is especially fantastic when the weather is nice out and you can sit outside and watch the world go by. This morning, I did just that with a few girlfriends -- the perfect way to spend an early summer morning.
As we all live within a four block radius of one another, we decided to stay local and chose one of the simple and affordable choices in our neighborhood - Arte. With ample outdoor seating, this is an excellent place to watch the world go by. For the drinkers, they have unlimited mimosas, bellinis, bloody mary's, etc for $14 and a nice casual Italian influenced menu with all of the brunch classics. Nice homemade muffins distributed as you are looking at the menu, are always a yummy treat!
I was just thinking that most of the restaurant reviews I've posted are about amazing meals or unique places or places with fantastic cheese selections, but rarely do I post about the "normal" neighborhood joint with reliable food, affordable prices, and a nice ambiance and that is exactly what Arte is -- no fuss, nothing too fancy or overdone, just simple good food.
On the note of simple, good food, for brunch today, I had their egg white asparagus and Parmesan omelette. It comes with a mixed green salad, two pieces of toast and homemade hash browns with red peppers and onions. Delish and satisfying.
Arguably the nicest way to spend a Sunday morning...once in a while, take some time out of your busy lives and sit down with friends for a relaxing meal, it does a body and soul good!
Enjoy Sunday evening folks...
