Sunday Brunch at Wood in Boystown

After a failed attempt (or two) at a weekend dinner at Wood, we opted for brunch. It was still busy around noon on a Sunday in November, but we were able to get a table for five without much of a wait.

I started with a Kir Royale (why not?) complete with Mathilde Blackcurrant Cassis. It's fruitier and fresher than standard cassis. Z opted for his go-to morning drink: a Bloody Mary.

Wood's brunch menu is not extensive with just four items in the sweet section, five in the savory, four in the lunch section and four sides. But after kicking off the meal with a side of fries, each of us were able to find an entree that appealed to us. I opted for the bendict, while Z went with Pork Belly Sandwich. If a pork sandwich is on a breakfast menu, nine times out of 10, Z will order it.

Our entrees were flavorful and perfectly cooked. We'll definitely be back.
