Brunch service happens on Sundays only from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The menu is split into five sections: Snacks to share at the table, Eggs & Stuff, including sweet and savory breakfast-inspired treats, Salads & Sandwiches, more fitting for mid-morning and lunch, Sides, that serve as good additions to other menu items, and Caffeine, a short and self-explanatory section. The Benedict, Cobb Salad, and side of grits are not to be missed. Reservations can be made at 303.623.2665
