Do not miss this gem! We were welcomed warmly upon arrival.Our table was at the window, and we were lucky to have sunlight on this fine morning.Our service was impeccable.And the chef's Playlist was spot on to create a fun brunch. Fresh ingredients are paramount.There are herbs grown in the elevated pots outside the building.You can taste it in every bite.The menu descriptions do not do the offerings justice- the flavors and tastes are so much more and words can describe! We started with a blackberry mimosa.Fresh blackberries reduced to a syrup and served with bubbles.We may have split not 1 but 2 carafes.Yes.Its that good.Also sharing our table was a bloody Mary.She was later coming to the party as the Fresh tomatoes were being blended and puree made.Married with fresh horseradish and other magical infusions.Normally a heavier drink that is full of salt.Nope.This drink was light and tasted of fresh tomatoes and horseradish which was present but not overbearing.Yes.Worth ordering again (which happened this same meal) To start, the deviled eggs.'"Creamy and dreamy" And yes, they were.Just get them.The little bits of pickle atop makes for a small textural crunch and a small zing of taste. The breakfast burrito.Look at that beauty! Porkbelly with fresh ingredients.A little added house made hot sauce and salsa.I dont know what to say.Delightful! Croque madame.The ham used was of superior quality.The freshness of the egg shone through- and look how that yolk has a beautiful color and stands firm.This is about as fresh as it gets.Perfectly toasted.And paired with greens that boast a tangy dressing.But mixed all in one bite is heavenly. The veggie hash.Looked amazing! And it was gone before I was able to taste or get a review.Apparently quite popular and delicious! And lastly the desserts.The apple pie.So good, I'm bringing 2 of them with me on my flight home.Madeline's- who doesnt love these? Lightly crisp outside, soft lemon-y inside.😋 the cinnamon roll bread pudding was excellent.I'm not a huge bread pudding fan, but the cinnamon flavor (sans raisins) was a-maze-ing.Lastly the creme puff.Honestly, these should be illegal.O.M.G.Crisp, light pastry.Swirl of vanilla bourbon creme in the middle, surrounding some blueberry curd.Wow.Speechless.Just wow.Ger one.Or 5. And for a late night delight, stop into the bar.Order a cocktail made to your order.You won't be disappointed.I had a chocolate martini- and chose my vodka, light or dark chocolate liquor, butterscotch addition. Spend some time at Shilling Canning Company.The freshness can be tasted in every bite.The welcoming environment ensures I'll be back!
