The Verdict

"The weekday brunch is the sweet spot: same food, no line, no wait for a table. Weekend brunch gets a crowd by 10:30am."

What you need to know

Son & Garden sits on the corner of Polk and Ellis with a flower-shop aesthetic and a brunch menu built for the kind of weekend that ends with cocktails. The Deep Fried French Toast (stuffed with mascarpone, vanilla pastry cream, and berry compote) is the dish people post about. The cocktail list runs through the brunch service.

The Food

Brunch dominates the menu and the reputation. The deep-fried French toast is the headliner, but the omelets, eggs benedict, and avocado toast variations all hold their own. Dinner runs Thursday through Sunday with a smaller menu.

The Space

Bright, plant-heavy, and Instagram-aware without being annoying about it. The setting is the draw as much as the food.
