Eventide: Lucious for Mommy and Baby




Brunch is the magical meal for baby and parents. It's a nice meal, different and more special than brunch, more leisurely, but it's also a time when baby is happier and no one is bothered by them being there. Not that anyone ever would at Eventide, where they even have a separate baby changing room from the bathroom. But did I mention the food?

We took my in-laws, visiting from Ireland, there on Sunday for father's day brunch. It's such an elegant place, the towering ceilings and exposed brick, long drapes, crystal chandeliers and the plush booths with "car doors". If the kid was older than 10 weeks he would have loved the booths!

My chicken and biscuit with maple sage gravy was notable, hot fresh, rich and a nice balance of sweet and salty. The chicken was perfectly cooked but at times over breaded. The whole plate was huge and I had lunch today. Others enjoyed their pork belly hash and eggs and the roast beef sandwich and fries, knowing that the quality of the meat was good and local. The fries are perfectly cooked with herbs and sea salt and make me hungry right now!

Baby-friendly? Yes, and openly so, with a baby care room, cup covers and a patient staff. They even have a kids menu plan on the evenings with healthy options.
