On Friday I
mentioned that we were taking my parents
here to eat brunch, so we got up on Sunday morning before they left and headed down to Eastern Market. Not only was the weather beautiful, but the neighborhood is always picturesque, and who doesn't love a view of the Capitol the entire drive downtown? Our friends who live in the neighborhood introduced us to
Senart's not long after it reopened; check out the short story of the family history on their website! We usually go at night because of the long list of cocktails, great steaks, and of course the oysters, but we wanted to try something different. We had never been here for brunch before and I regret not going sooner. You can still order off the full raw bar menu, and the brunch choices were hard to choose from because they all sounded equally delicious. We ordered a dozen oysters (from British Columbia; we just learned we prefer West Coast oysters), brunch, and a round of bloody marys. Needless to say we came hungry and left happy!
Bloody Marys!
One dozen oysters with cocktail sauce and raspberry mignonette
I chose the "Eastern Shore Morning" - Pan roasted eggs, fried oysters, Gruyere, Roasted Tomatoes, Fresh Herbs and Creme Fraiche. And I swear everything tastes better when they serve it to you in the skillet!
This is Shayne's "Yes, I'll take another picture but where are my oysters?!" face.
