Prune: the Redux
A very belated post on a recent brunch at Prune with Bomber.
We anticipated the wait of a lifetime but we were lucky to only have a half hour wait in front of us. Even with long lines, both the front of the house and the patrons were very patient.
After much agonizing, I finally made a decision and ordered the Dutch Style Pancake (yes, pancake...singular!). The menu stated the pancake came with pears, however, our waitress alerted me that it would be coming with blueberries. Even better! It came as one large and very filling pancake with a side of Canadian bacon. Normally, I'd stay away from pancakes but this was light and fluffy and left me satisfied without feeling like I had just eaten a hockey puck.
Even better than my pancake was Bomber's Monte Cristo, perhaps the best Monte Cristo I can remember. Prune serves their Monte Cristo with an egg and some currant jelly. We both couldn't believe how simple yet amazing this was, so good in fact, that Bomber complimented the chefs who were happily toiling away in the open kitchen at the back of the restaurant.
On this trip to Prune, we also enjoyed a few of their Bloody Mary's. The Mariner made with clam juice and olives were served with a shot of beer. This was certainly the stand out of the few we sampled (yes...Bloody Mary's plural).
This was my second trip to Prune and I was equally impressed on my return visit. The wait for a table can be a bit daunting, especially if you are with a large group, but certainly worth every minute if you are looking for a high quality, satisfying meal.
