The Statehouse

Disappointing birthday brunch. I had to work really hard (I mean REALLY hard) to get through to make a reservation because it was over 8 guests. After leaving 3 voicemails, I finally did have 3 returned calls from separate people over the course of a few days. Birthday cinnamon roll served in a to-go box (fine whatever, it's free) but it wasn't free - I was charged for it. After several more phone calls - my credit cards was credited the cost of the cinnamon roll but I don't know what math was done because it didn't cover the tax and tip that I paid on top of it. Too much work for me to go back anytime soon.

We had a wonderful Easter brunch experience. Cant wait to go back for more. The place was crowded and busy, but the staff was very attentive and friendly. We were lucky to have a table by the windows overlooking the lake. Our table enjoyed the mimosa sampler. The plates were plenty full with food. The French toast slices were light and fluffy. It was plenty of whipped cream and fruit to complement the dish. The side of scrambled eggs was prepared perfectly, not overcooked or runny. The hashbrowns, prepared with some red and green peppers, were also very tasty. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Perfectly salted; no need to add more salt. What I will order the next time will be the smoked salmon Benedict. Its a wonderfully balanced dish. The salmon had a nice smokey flavor, not a strong salmon taste at all. The eggs were also poached perfectly, with the runny yolk complementing creaminess of the sauce. Capers add a nice little bite to the whole dish. I had gone to the state house several years ago and did not have a good experience. Todays brunch experience was certainly a redemption. I cant wait to go back and try other items on the menu.
