Brunch at The Lauber offered a delightful blend of traditional favorites with a modern dining experience. Although the digital-only menus initially presented a slight hiccup for us as newcomers, it hinted at a dynamic and innovative approach that could potentially allow the kitchen to showcase its creativity.

The variety on the menu was whimsical and catered to a range of tastes, hinting at the kitchen's playful take on brunch classics. However, there was a confusing moment when we spotted 'the hangover,' a dish listed as vegetarian yet seemingly included bacon. This was a curiosity I regrettably didn't get a chance to clarify during our visit.

It was Joseph, our server, who truly elevated our dining experience with his excellent hospitality and attentive service. He navigated us through the digital menu with ease and was quick to offer insights into the restaurant's diverse offerings. His professional and warm demeanor ensured that we felt taken care of throughout our meal.

I opted for the "Lauber Favorite," the chicken and biscuits, and it didn't disappoint. The dish struck a perfect balance between hearty and flavorful, with a spicy sausage gravy that tantalized the taste buds, crispy chicken, and airy biscuits that seemed to melt in the mouth.

We also shared a Mini Cinnamon Roll bite skillet, a delightful sweet interlude that provided a delightful contrast to the savory depth of the main dish. My companion's choice, the harvest bowl, was a verdant feast, generously portioned and topped with a beautifully blackened salmon that was nothing short of expertly prepared.

The meal was accompanied by a couple of festive martini selections—the Pumpkin Spice Espresso martini and a Snickerdoodle martini. Both were a hit on the flavor front, though the caramel garnish of the latter was a tad overenthusiastic, resulting in a sweet, sticky tableau on our table.

In terms of value, the experience was exceptional. For a delightful foray into brunch that offers ample servings, creative dishes, and spirited drinks, The Lauber is a standout recommendation. Despite the small digital menu hiccup and the runaway caramel, our brunch was a pleasurable adventure that I'd eagerly recommend to fellow brunch enthusiasts.
