October 08 - "Brunch" at Urban Solace

By Alicia

I'm using quotes around brunch, because, it was technically breakfast. :-)

Urban Solace is billed as "new american comfort food." I've been there a couple of times for dinner and drinks at the bar. I highly recommend that. Had great service the other 2 times. This time, not so much. Our server made it seem like we were more of an annoyance to her than anything else. She did turn on some charm at the end, just before the bill came. Well, played mam, well played.

Anyway, service aside, I've really enjoyed every dish I've had at Urban Solace. This MR visit, I had the butter pecan french toast. It was good but pretty much something you could order for dessert. Which means, it was a bit heavy for brunch. I did enjoy it though. Coffee was good, but again with the less than good service... we had to constantly ask for more cream, sugar, coffee, etc. (I'm the one that wanted to give the server exactly 15%, but due to lack of change, she got more... oh well. )

Overall a thumbs up. I like the atmosphere, nice bathrooms, usually good service. I will probably stick to the bar for future visits.
