A revisit to Bourbon, Brunch, & Beer. Much the same experience. Hit and miss service. Timing was weird on things. Some of the food worked, some didn’t. Scrambled eggs with turkey and avocado turned out as a bowl of fairly dry cooked eggs, completely unseasoned, with a whole sliced avocado on top (also unseasoned), and a few slices of lunchmeat turkey folded up in wedges. Salt and pepper, when asked for, helped, but not a lot. That’s a hard pass. 280 pesos.

Two burgers, both cooked medium, double patties topped with crisp bacon and a decent cheddar. Barbecue sauce (mine on the side), thankfully not overly sweet. The bun a bit dry. Fries, soft, again unseasoned, and no condiments offered nor brought to the table. An okay burger, but given the chef behind this place, we’d all expected something a lot more interesting and tasty, and especially for 350 pesos.

We decided to split an order of waffles with ice cream and chocolate sauce. The waffles, dense and rubbery – very eggy – like probably twice the amount of egg that ought to be in a waffle batter. The ice cream flavorless. The chocolate sauce good. Interestingly, when we only ate a couple of bites, the hostess came over and asked us if it was okay. When we told her the issue, her response was, “yeah, we hear that from customers all the time”, and whisked it away. Didn’t take it off the bill though. 280 pesos.

Still great coffee – which turns out to be dark roast Colombian from LAB.
