HalfSmoke Review

Drinks

Leaving a champagne flute unfinished is typically verboten, but these mimosas are so sugary it became accepted practice, at least for a weekend. You can mix and match flavors, which at least makes for a nice picture.

There's no option that won't leave you feeling a little defeated, but what else are you at a sausage restaurant for, anyway?

Service

Sitting outside carries a strong risk of being forgotten, though when they remember they'll at least apologetically bring out carafes of mimosas.

As far as we're aware, this is the only brunch spot to hand you menus in Five Star binders or place your checks in Disney VHS cases, so that's a thing.

Nero might be a lovely wine bar, with self-dispensing wine machines that certainly piqued our interest, but we wonder if they forgot they're also a restaurant.

Balos Estiatorio Review

The bellinis and mimosas have a respectably small tinge, and we appreciate the straight champagne option, but it's really the espresso martinis — six different options, freshly made at a cart wheeled over to your table — that salvage the price.

We're like the postmen. We brunch in rain, sleet, or snow
