Decent Brunch

Rated this place:

Mildred's Temple Kitchen is getting a lot of mixed reviews... understandably so, having to live up to the legacy that was Mildred Pierce. Same owners, same chef, new digs. I had a decent brunch there on the weekend with not too much to complain about. We definitely waited a while for our table but once sat our order came fast (but not too fast). Three of us all swapped bites off each others plates so I can say that the blueberry pancakes, the huevos monty and the egg tart were all really tasty. Not sold on the decor though. One of my dining pals said "It looks an awful lot like Ikea in here". I can't totally disagree. I wouldn't rush back but it was pleasant enough to be on the may-consider list come Sunday morning.

COOL PLACE + SPACE

Rated this place:

Mildred's Temple Kitchen has a great location in Liberty Village and as soon as you step inside, you know they are trying to be cool, and different (watch people's faces go into their unisex bathrooms for the first time!). The tables are sleek and seating is super comfortable in a bright space. The menu supporting local and sustainable foods is a good read, but sadly the unpolished staff deliver VERY salty and underwhelming dishes. As they say, don't judge a book by its cover, even if it's a really nice cover.
