Best Brunch Restaurants in Southport

DELICIOUS AND SUBLIME, 5 STAR MEAL. Our party of 4 was amazed at how delicious every single dish was at Esh. There aren't enough superlatives to describe how flavorful everything is! The Esh flatbread was pillowy and warm, we fought over who got the last piece and ended up ordering more. Our Baby Gem salad was fresh, the dressing was tangy and the serving size was generous, it could be shared but instead we enjoyed leftovers for lunch the next day. The Moroccan Cigar was so good we ordered another, and the Grilled Calamari and Ribeye Bao Buns were amazing. For our mains we loved the Charcoal Grilled Prime Ribeye (grilled to medium rare perfection and presented on a skewer), and the Chicken Maschan's sides of cauliflower and roasted garlic were outstanding. We ordered a special appetizer for a main, the Butternut Squash ravioli, and the four large pieces were enough for a main considering all of the other delicious starters we enjoyed. We couldn't decide which dessert to share so we ordered three, Grandma's Biscuit Cake (a hazelnut and chocolate mousse, a must!!), the Date Sponge cake and the Esh Silan Sundae. Every single flavor was amazing, every single bite prepared to perfection. Can't say enough good things about the quality and flavors, we will be returning again very soon!

Our waitress and the whole wait staff are fantastic, the food is outstanding.

I would say 3.5 star. Between good and very good. It was good, food was good and service was certainly good. Its a cute restaurant, the name suits it. Chairs are simple wood and rather uncomfortable. Ambiance is nice but wouldn't see this as an upscale dining experience. Its rustic, hence the name. The menu is small and interesting, portions pretty small and not a spectacular presentation. As mentioned, i thought the food was good but not spectacular and not sure the price is justified but i guess it's westport. Wine is definitely overpriced. I'll probably be back but not a go-to.

We absolutely loved your afternoon tea. The sandwiches were delicious! My favorite was the beet and goat cheese. I am not a truffle lover, but I did enjoy the egg salad sandwich with a hint of truffles. It was not overdone, it was just right. I loved the scones, especially with the fig jam and clotted cream. I prefer savory over sweets at an afternoon tea. I find many places do far too many sweets. You had just enough to complement the sandwiches. If I may, I would like to suggest the addition of Darjeeling to your teas. They do call it the King of Teas, after all. It is very different from English Breakfast and Earl Grey, both of which are blended teas. I feel Darjeeling would really complement your lovely afternoon tea. Thank you for a lovely afternoon, Sincerely, Lorraine Pagano

We were greeted at the door and seated immediately. The ambiance was natural and magically perfect! The food arrived fairly quickly, fresh and tasty. The staff are all friendly and we didn’t feel pressured to leave. The cafe is situated within a beautiful store setting which works great in my opinion. I purchased nice faux candles in the store section before leaving. I can honestly say we had a wonderful time walking around and looking at all the items and plantings they had available before leaving. Would I recommend this restaurant? Absolutely!!!
