Egg Puffs

Overall taste: 7.5/10 | 2017 | 42 Beach St, Boston, MA 02111

Pictured above: Egg Puff ($3) [Also known as bubble waffle. This is our favourite type of waffle, but not many places in Boston sell it. It tastes buttery and has cake-like texture. We would have preferred it if the exterior was more crispy and interior was more soft and chewy.]

+++ = highly recommend | – – – = do not recommend

This place was really crowded when we were there on Sunday for brunch. We’ve also read reviews where people had to wait 1.5 hours for seats during dinner, so be sure to make reservations ahead of time!

afterfocus_1488138730988 — **+++ Brewed awakening** – vanilla vodka / rumchata / kahlua / cinnamon-nutmeg cold brew ($11) *[We really liked this drink and would come back just for it! It was sweet and creamy with mild coffee and alcohol flavour.]*

afterfocus_1488139806297 — **Sea bass ceviche** – pickled papaya / roasted habanero and agave / passion fruit / salsa verde ($12) *[We thought that this was too sweet and tasted very much like a dessert. Lynn liked to eat the sea bass with the salsa verde, which was savory. Jeff wasn’t a fan of it as it had cilantro.]*

afterfocus_1488138878662 — **+++ Tuna crudo tostada –** aji amarillo leche de tigre / avocado / lime crema / pickled serrano peppers ($14) *[The tuna was fresh and had the right amount of seasoning.]*

afterfocus_1488140332473 — **– – – Carne asada** – painted hills flank steak / chimichurri / pico / green mole / queso fresco / avocado ($12) *[The steak was tough and dry. It was also too charred for our liking.]*

afterfocus_1488139927799 — **+++ Baja fried fish –** charred jalapeno and pineapple aioli / pickled cabbage / avocado ($12) *[This was great! The fish was well-fried and went really well their pickled cabbage and aioli.]*

img_20170226_153135_358 — **Fried chicken and waffles** – jalapeno cornbread waffle / chile maple butter sauce ($14) [Brunch only. We mainly ordered this because we’ve never had chicken and waffles.. haha. We don’t have a comparison but we think it’s pretty good. The chicken could have less batter though. This was a generous serving for $14.]

We were invited to Lincoln Tavern & Restaurant for a complementary meal, but we try to stay as objective as possible.

Pictured above (anti-clockwise):

Fruit bowl ($6) [Not something we would personally order in a restaurant.]

+++ Breakfast burger – maple sausage patty, hash browns, over easy egg, pepper jelly, hollandaise, portuguese muffin, served with fries ($13) [We highly recommend this! The patty was sweet, fragrant, and juicy. The egg was runny and their pepper jelly gave it a good kick.]

Apple cinnamon waffles – apple pie filling, maple pecan crumble, vanilla bean whipped cream ($12) [We liked the taste but found it to be too sweet.]

– – – Fruity pebble pancakes – stack of pancakes, cereal milk anglaise ($12) [This was extremely sweet as well, and we’re not a fan of their fruity pebbles, which were artificial-tasting]

Steak and potato wood fired pizza – mashed potato, smoked prime rib, caramelized onion, fontina cheese, arugula, truffle oil ($16) [This was pretty good but on the salty side]
