A great brunch does not compromise. For me, a great brunch is good music, great service, amazingly delicious food and an abundance of drinks. It would only be a plus if the people in attendance were fun, wonderful beings but I’m not there for that. Don’t compromise my brunch Poco.
I went to the popular Poco a few weeks ago and I truly underestimated how popular they were because it was an hour wait. I really have to get back into the habit of making reservations. Nonetheless, once we were seated, I was handed one of those menus that just makes you want to have everything. I opted for the lobster mac and cheese considering that’s what they’re really known for and of course, the waitress started to bring out the Sangria.
They offer white and red sangria here which I wound up mixing. This place is known or being a boozy brunch, all the way, through and through. The music is really good and the place remained packed the entire time. Everyone was carrying wine, mimosas, or sangrias and singing along to the G-UNIT records that were blasting from the speakers.
I just kept drinking….
Once my food arrived, I was surprised to find these huge lobster chunks in my dish. If you’re going to offer something on a menu, don’t be stingy about it and they aren’t! However, and I’m no mac and cheese guru, the dish just wasn’t for me. I found it to be too cheesy, almost like soup and the consistency wasn’t peaking my interest. I would return to Poco though for something else on the menu because there were other options that looked great and their drinks were really good too. Make a reservation if you plan to check it out yourself.
