Brunch With Me: To brunch or not to brunch?

Brunch With Me is a family restaurant and wine bar located at 25801 Jefferson Ave in St. Clair Shores. They specialize in various omelets as well as traditional culinary breakfast and lunch dishes from around the world. Their hours of operation are from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., therefore it is not a viable after school option for students during the week, but it makes a great option for a weekend brunch. I visited at noon on a Saturday which was one of the busiest times during the day.

The restaurant was filled with life and they had live music played by soft jazz composer Love Lamone. It was like a scene from a movie. With its vibrant environment and live music, it makes a great place to socialize with friends and family. It only took around ten minutes to be seated which was great for our party of two because we went during peak hours. The service was great and they quickly got everything our table needed. 

Another thing I enjoyed about my experience was the number of food options. Brunch With Me has a diverse menu that is split into five categories: Omelets with eight different variations like veggie or smoked salmon, Classic Plates that consist of traditional breakfast like the American and Balkan breakfast, Specialties like the Traverse City biscuits and gravy and the Bruch With Me burger and lastly Griddle, with items like the crème brûlée French toast and tiramisu pancake.

After ordering, it took around 25 minutes to get our food and it tasted amazing. I decided to order the Crème Brûlée French Toast. It was delicate, sweet and topped with an assortment of blueberries, sliced strawberries, almonds and powdered sugar, giving it a unique flavor. It was also very filling and cost $18. My mom ordered the lobster omelet. She said it was savory and flavorful. She also recommends it because the fruit it came with was sweet and fresh and cost $21.   

 The food was delectable, the service was amazing and I had no issues at all which was impressive for how busy they were. This restaurant checks every box and is very deserving of a perfect 5/5 stars.
