Sally's Middle Name

I was charmed by the name and dropped in after the wait at another restaurant was 2 hours. Sally's Middle Name seated us immediately (pulling out a table just for us). I'm glad we went in. The food was outstanding. Distinct and delectable flavors to taste and savor. The shoot salad had a dressing to die for. The garlic aioli dip for the French fries was spicy and flavorful. The green curry was sumptuous with curry and squash. The iceberg of an ice cube in the Little Kicker was a visual delight and the drink wasn't bad either.

Sally's Middle Name is brunch heaven. While it's not in the most convenient of locations, I would trek up here every other weekend to chow down and enjoy quality brunch time with my boo or girlfriends. Recently, I came here with a girlfriend after a little yoga sesh. We didn't make any reservations (because it's first-come, first-serve for brunch), but we had no problem in securing a table on the second floor. We started off with shrub mimosas ($10) and then individually ordered our entrees. I went with the Thai rice porridge ($14), and my friend chose the patty melt ($15). We decided to share the homefries ($5). The Thai rice porridge was fantastic. Love the combination of flavors, especially the spice from the chilis. I'm a big porridge/congee person, so this was perfect for me. I tried some of my friend's dish, and it is one of the best patty melts I've had. The patty melt does come with a side of potatoes, so we ended up having to take the side of homefries to go but I would still order them regardless. And because we're girls and have a separate stomach for desserts, we decided to split the strawberry glazed doughnut ($5). It's house-made, and the strawberry flavor is pure bliss. This is a very popular dish that every other table ordered as well. The service was very laid-back and friendly. I love the warmth and hospitality from their staff; the cozy and homey vibes of the restaurant; and their playful focus on veggies in a novel and interesting approach.

Love this spot. Lots of delicious plates. Bloody Mary was nice and spicy. Dinner seemed to have a few more options. It’s a rotating menu so occasionally they are out of items, which was a disappointment. Love the clean design of the interior. Probably not the greatest for large groups. Did see a child at the restaurant but don’t necessarily know that I would call it kid-friendly. Wait staff was very friendly and helpful.
