Encore Restaurant

(scale: 1-5)
Breakfast Burrito (w/out green chilli) and Eggs Benedict (w/Bearnaise on side,tomatoes/avocados/spinach)

Bottomless Mimosas: 3.2---better service by the end, but not quick to fill up

Food: 4---flavorful and fresh--I recommend getting the chilli on the side because it was dry without it.

Creativity: 3---typical brunch food items with different ingredients that made the food items more interesting

Presentation: 4.6---clean white porcelain plates with the food items placed, no frills-almost pristine

The Egg Shell

Argyll

Snooze

Sputnik


For a cheap dinning experience. Normally our meal here only cost about $10 a person. And, thats including the cost of thier $5 bottomless Mimosa.

Sputnik does not take reservations or even have a list. Grab a table while you can.

The food is simple. Nothing fancy. Our favorit is the Mac N Cheese along with one of their breakfast sandwiches. If you are nursing a hangover, they also have the hangover scrambles: scrambled eggs with charizo, cheese, avacado, tomato, and french fries all tossed into a bowl served with no sides.

Lucile's Creole Cafe


Being from New Orleans, I can honestly say that this resturant would do just fine off of Uptowns Magazine Street or off Frenchmen.
They have impressive use of spices and use the right amount of butter so that you get a real Southern dish, without having it drowned in fat.
One of the more expensive brunch establishments, it has a delicous Bloody Marry complete with shrimp. The Mimosas are not cheap but you do get a fancy little bottle of Champange with it.
My favorit is the Eggs Jenifer shown here. Its a vegetarian version of eggs benedict and it comes with very authentic grits or potatos.
The autmosphere is fun. One of the only resturants in Colorado where you are allowed to sit outside and drink beffore getting a seat. The autmosphere is fun.
