Bocado

Really loved it here for multiple reasons. First off, and I know this is just a me thing, but my general satisfaction at a restaurant is based on how thirsty I am. I am a thirsty person and require a lot of water.

This place comes by and refills your water A LOT. They top it off constantly and if your glass is empty, it won't be empty for long. So I really really liked that. I know some people find it disruptive and annoying. But not me. Fill my water often! This place had 3-4 people dedicated to just refilling water and I am HERE for it!

I came here for brunch and kept it simple. Two eggs, sausage, and potatoes.

The scrambled eggs were perfect. There's a very fine line between light and fluffy eggs that aren't undercooked. And cook them a half a second too long, and now they're hard and no good. These eggs were PERFECT. Light and fluffy but not in the undercooked mushy kind of way. These were 100% cooked all the way through but still light. It's hard to do that. This place did it.

Then the potatoes: At first glance I was thinking, I wish these were crunchier. But I bit into them and despite their soft, not-even-slightly crunchy texture, they were seasoned so perfectly, that it was amazing.

The sausage: Not much to say here, They were links, as opposed to patties which is a personal preference for me and they too were cooked perfectly.

And then there was a piece of bread thrown on the plate. It was untoasted and not warm. So immediately I thought, no chance this will be any good. But like the potatoes, I was wrong again! The bread was so fresh and soft with a perfect crunchy crust, that serving it untoasted at room temp was totally acceptable! That was a really good piece of bread!

Staff was friendly as well. I'm not a drinker but the brunch comes with a free mimosa or bellini or a few other things which helps justify the high price a bit more.

Without the drink, $21 for eggs and potatoes is kind of a lot. I mean even with the drink it's a lot. But whatever, I enjoyed it. Would not hesitate to come back here.
