The new Baker Peters Brunch

The wife-elect and i go to Baker Peters on a fairly regular basis as it is one of the best spots to enjoy a cigar, a beverage, and good mellow tunes. Last evening thats just what we were doing. Groove Therapy was providing our entertainment (along with some ladies wearing so much flourescent fabric we are certain the hunting industry will be adversely affected). Anyway our great server, Sarah, was kind enough to give us a coupon for a free brunch this morning. Oddly enough Sarah was our server again for brunch. And she makes a mean bloody Mary. BP has completely redone their patio (after a fight with some people trying to maintain historical accuracy as i understand it...meddling hippies). It is great. Climate controlled. Clean and like you are sitting in NOLA. The menus, while a bit on the expensive side, was outstanding. I chose the steak omlette that had mushrooms and a wonderful smoked cheddar. The omlette was cooked perfectly and very light. The steak was tender, juicy, and well-done (just as I like it). The wife-elect had Sausage and Spaetzle. Which was "like the best mac and cheese I've ever had." as i mentioned, Sarah prepared our Bloody Marys but if you choose, you can build you own at the Bloody Mary/Mimosa Bar. No need when they are as good as this one. Oh and i almost forgot, a sax and keyboard duo entertained us the whole time very cool It is a little on the pricy side as i said, the above totaled out to $60 without our coupon. But for a special occasion or if you have guests in town, I highly recommend it. ~Eric
