10Best Says

The lines get mighty long for brunch at this Virginia Highland hot spot. But don't worry if you have to wait a bit. There are plenty of neat stores and shops to peruse while you wait. You can work up an appetite waiting as you should come hungry. Your brunch will start with a basket of biscuits and muffins. Entree favorites of guests are the Shrimp and Grits, Chilaquiles and the Crab Benedict. However, you can't go wrong with the Eggs Virginia Highland- poached eggs on spinach and mushrooms all on top of focaccia bread. Service is always pleasant and friendly.
