In a perfect marriage of the terms breakfast + lunch: Brunch was created. Typically taking place on Sundays in the late morning up to early afternoon, brunch is a joining of sweet breakfast flavors with savory lunch tastes.
The history books point to the origin in old Britain, where the term was first spoken by students as a form of fashionable slang meaning: a later morning meal after a long night. The written word "brunch" was first documented in the late 19th century by British writer, Guy Beringer, in an essay titled “Brunch: A Plea”.
This plea was encouraging a later brunch eating time for those that attended church on Sunday mornings and were tardy for breakfast. It also was a plea for those that were up late reveling on Saturday night and needed a delayed start time to Sunday morning.
This plea was heard and whether you fit into one of those extremes or somewhere in between, brunch has grown into a popular dining event. It is a time for groups to gather over a special meal, or for individuals to create time for appreciating different flavors.
Our menu addresses all points on the spectrum with elegance. We have created original plates to catch your eye and tempt your tongue, while you enjoy our contemporary chestnut and oak log cabin setting. Whether your craving is for breakfast, lunch, seafood, or soup, we have a selection that is sure to entice everyone at the table.
Come and dine in British tradition with us as you experience the uniqueness of brunch.
