Brunch on the weekends is one fabulous idea and Brick + Mortar has made it even more amazing! This gastropub is located off Main Street in Santa Monica, tucked away behind a coffee and shoe shop. Since its opening B+M has been successful which is most likely due to the welcoming atmosphere, delightful drinks, and delicious food! On certain days they offer a Happy Hour menu, yay! But back to the brunch - My friend and I decided to pop in on the weekend during their brunch. I was wowed by the Bloody Mary Bar which consisted of house-made bloody mary mix and tons of fixings and a row of hot sauces. Yum. Even though the Bloody Mary bar looked amazing I decided to try one of their cocktails. All of which sounded amazing.
While waiting for out table we ordered the Cucumber Cocktail, which called for gin however, we substituted Vodka. The cocktail was light and refreshing which is perfect on a warm Santa Monica day.
B+M's Brunch Menu, is quit big for this gastropub. Choices ranged from eggs to burgers and pizzas. My friend raved about the burgers so I had to try and added the truffle parmesan fries. I have to say the burger was juicy with lots of flavoring, and adding the horseradish mayo, oh my yumminess!! Along side the burger was a handful of shoestring fires. I love shoe string fries, they have just enough potato and crispiness. I tried both the regular fries and the truffle parmesan fries. The truffle fries were good but did not go well with the burger. In the end I was pleased with my burger choice! Filling and tasty!
At the end we ordered another round of drinks. My friend ordered the Blueberry refresher and I opted for the Basil refresher. Both were so light and refreshing and made a great end to our Brunch.
I cannot wait to go back and try B+M's Dinner Menu, I'm sure it will be fully satisfying and delicious!! So, if you are off Main Street stop in for the Brunch or a cocktail or two! Oh and I've heard that B+M makes amazing spicy tequila cocktails!
