Old Vine Kitchen & Bar: weekend brunch

August 5, 2022 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

As the weekend approaches, it’s a good time to point out that this is the perfect time to think about where to hang out for a leisurely brunch with friends or family.

At Old Vine Kitchen & Bar, Chef Mark McDonald, an industry leader in creating as close to a scratch kitchen as possible, you’ll find hearty, delicious offerings that’ll not only satisfy your belly, but also your taste-buds.

Just about everything is made  in-house, and you will never leave hungry. The cheddar biscuit in Open Faced ($18) which sits beneath an omelet smothered in house made chipotle gravy, is house-made, and not surprisingly, is the most popular item on the brunch menu.

Reuben Omelet ($18) is exceptional, with artisan pastrami, sauerkraut and Swiss cheese, enveloped in a fluffy pillow of eggs, finished with house Russian dressing drizzle and garnished with pickled onions.

Make sure you get a little of everything to create the most glorious bite! The pickled onions are fantastic and I definitely wanted more of it.

Surprisingly, my non-sweet palate fell completely in love with French Toast ($18) reimagined by using croissants, and served “brick”-style. This clever substitution gives each bite a varied textural mouthfeel that’s far more enticing than its usual, soft, mushy counterpart which I’m generally not a fan of.

The beautiful blueberry sauce is pleasantly tart, balancing what could’ve been a cloyingly sweet offering. This, is a masterpiece in itself which I’m happy to eat again and again.

Relax on the back patio, sipping on mimosas, and enjoy the hospitality and great service of Old Vine Kitchen this weekend!

About Me

This blog is a journal of mostly my eating adventures, but also, other things I'm passionate about, including travel, the arts, and also, necessities to complete my life. Centered predominantly in and around Orange County, CA, some will extend to Los Angeles, San Diego and beyond. I am constantly searching for delicious food to eat and fun things to do, nothing is out of bounds. Sometimes it doesn't end well, but I can definitely say, it will always be an interesting journey.
