Pour: Brunch
Brunch with the family! Pour wins some points by not only
serving Brunch but also not being BYOB, and I happen to like people serving me mimosas. The
brunch menu at Pour has several unique full meal items, charcuterie options,
and several side-dishes to make up your brunch. My only complaint is that
between the menu online and the actual menu they seem to have taken away the
veggie-option of oatmeal, leaving side dishes. Even the pancakes are non-vegetarian. Not all was lost! The grits of
the day were cheese and between that, some coffee cake, a wedge of lovely goat cheese,
crusty bread and some lovely blood orange mimosas, a delightful brunch was had.
Bryan and my brother enjoyed Toad in a Hole with grits, my father the surf and
turf lobster and eggs, and my mom went with a charcuterie platter and grits. The
berry coffee cake was very nice, and the staff pleasant, and the atmosphere
quite nice as well – especially admired was the orange couch lounge area.
There is this problem I’ve noticed with some of the nicer
Lancaster restaurants, as a vegetarian you are frequently better off going to
less expensive places because while side-dishes and cheese plates are lovely,
sometimes you wish just one of the 20 entrées could have been made with the
meat or seafood as an option. And I try to avoid asking for substitutions
unless the place goes out of their way to say it is permissible. Places I
haven’t even bothered going because of this are Belvedere and Penn Square
Grill. Places that this is not the case include Fenz, The Pressroom, J.
Jeffries, Iron Hill Brewery, Ma(i)son, and Te’.
