    Someone suggested we go to Agnes for Sunday brunch, and it was delicious! The pork belly, eggs, bread, and sauce were an amazing combination. The warm banana bread with honey butter topped off our meal so sweetly.

    Truly a neighborhood gem! The array of cheeses is not to be believed and we absolutely loved the "fried chicken" which wasn't what we expected. What arrived was a perfectly crispy piece of chicken plopped on a bed of grains with kimchi. It was delicious! All their starters are fun and their "basic salad" is large enough to share. The sommelier is very knowledgeable as is the cheese monger. We highly recommend Agnes!

    Although the cornbread eclair remains my favorite and is always enjoyable, the new dish I was excited to try (the Lamb French Dip) was not. I know it's a new take on a traditional thing, but the best thing (in my opinion) about a French Dip is that the meat is the star. It's thinly sliced and accented only by the au jus. The gravy/sauce on the Lamb French Dip was way too much. It became the star. It was thick and had cheese in it, so for me, it will not be something I order again.

    Lovely brunch - fantastic menu with a varied choice including charcuterie boards and salads. Do not miss the chicken liver parfait on cornbread or the tater tots! Patio was covered and peaceful out of the sun and the shop put the front is so tempting. Service was excellent!

    Enjoyed the sourdough bread, lamb French dip, Bebe salad greens, and scallops. Standouts were the cornbread chicken liver mousse and banana bread pudding. We did shared plates and that worked out great. Service was great and both the chef and owners checked on us. Would have liked a lighter volume on the sound track to facilitate conversation. Definitely recommend

    The music was awful. I felt like I was eating at a Buffalo Wild Wings. They played Hanson and Paula Abdul hits. 🤦🏻‍♀️Not what you'd expect to hear while paying $200 for a meal.

    As always Agnes was a culinary experience! The service was amazing and the food was worth the wait! We were here for a holiday party and we had to wait a month before the celebration 💖 The wine, tator tots, quinoa grain bowl, leek and artichoke dish were hits with everyone! Thank you so much to the staff and chef and Agnes! The party was a hit!
