Went to Leona for brunch this morn. I’m not a huge brunch fan, but I left pretty dang happy with the meal. The table shared an order of the Brown Butter Pancakes, which were probably some of the best pancakes I can remember having in recent memory. A definite highlight. We also shared the Korean Latke, which were fine, if a bit boring. I ordered the Smoked Salmon Flatbread and was pleasantly surprised. Probably better as a shared plate, but it was really tasty. Also had bites of the Eggs Benedict and Ocean Trout, and both were solid brunch dishes.

I’ve read mixed things about the dinner (haven’t been to judge for myself), but if you’re looking for a brunch spot on the Westside, Leona is a good shout.

Also went to 2117 and Lodge Bread for pizza night. Oh, and Tom’s #5 for chilli fries, but let’s not talk about that.

You’re talking to @PorkyBelly, right? :wink:

You were definitely rolling in the dough more than i was :wink:

If “by rolling in the dough,” you mean rolling in more pasta dough, then yes, I’ll have to definitely agree that I was rolling in more pasta dough than you. :smile:
