Summer Frosé Brunch at EATS Kitchen & Bar
Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., through September
It’s all cool and breezy at EATS Kitchen & Bar this summer.

And while sipping Frosés, Sparkling Sangria, a Build Your Own Bloody Mary or a Flight of Fruit Mimosas, more fun on the patio includes games such as Giant Jenga and Connect 4. When it’s time to eat, who doesn’t crave Orange Blossom French Toast made with challah bread soaked in orange blossom water laced batter, fried in butter and finished in the oven for a moist, custard-like center and topped with mascarpone, poached rhubarb and a sprinkling of pistachios. And wait, there are Chicken and Waffle decadently and deliciously served with rosemary maple syrup and bacon butter.

Thursdays during lunch and dinner, starting at 12 p.m.

Reyes blue, and the Anti-Burger is a veggie patty with Swiss cheese, braised mushrooms and red peppers. A choice of EATS fries, tater tots or sweet potato fries comes with. And for those boozy milkshake options, there are Strawberry Pie with whipped cream vodka, Peanut Butter Bourbon composed of High West Silver Whiskey; Malted Chocolate made with Fernet Branca and Bananas Foster with Silver Rum.
