Surrounded by local bars, a famous burger joint and late-night sushi, Annabel's is quite the black sheep. With less than 10 tables, this tiny restaurant is quiet and comforting. The sizable windows in the front room flood the space with natural light. The decor is understated, simple and unpretentious, just the way a family-owned restaurant should be. The Eggs of the House are not to be missed. Hiding underneath two perfectly cooked eggs are delicious black beans and grilled cheesy grits. Though simple in it's ingredients, this dish is extraordinarily satisfying and unique.
This little slice of heaven was the Tart du Jour. It featured a delightful variety of cheeses, fresh basil and a stellar roasted tomato sauce on the side. I could have eaten the entire pan if given the chance.
Let me help you out a bit... If you've woken up and you need a greasy plate of eggs and grits, like RIGHT NOW, this is not the place for you. If you're in one of those "go with the flow" moods and are willing to wait in order to experience a truly unique brunch: Annabel's should be on your agenda. I promise it will be worth the wait! Enjoy!
