This bright, airy brunch spot packs in crowds from Wednesday through Sunday with its walk-in-only policy. But the line moves fast, and they've got heat lamps for the patio, so you’ll still be comfortable if you end up at an outside table on a chilly day. The chicken and waffles is the perfect savory/sweet combination (with an added kick from some spicy honey), the croissant French toast is over the top (with a vanilla cream sauce but also some pleasantly tart pomegranate molasses), and the jumbo crab bene, with perfectly tender meat and a flavorful hollandaise, justifies its $29 price tag. Fair warning: This place gets slammed during peak brunch hours (10am-1:30pm or so), so either show up early or be prepared to wait for a table.
