Angie Says: Tweet is amazing. I love, love, love it here! It's so damn far away from my neighborhood, but well worth the trip.

We walked in at about 11am on a very rainy Saturday and were warmly greeted by the hostess who joyfully quoted us a 35 minute wait and suggested we head to the bar and get a cocktail while we waited. Cocktails BEFORE brunch? Hell, I'd already knocked back a mojito and a spiked oatmeal shake that morning before we got to Tweet, so what harm could a little more booze do? The bartender was so nice and poured up a mimosa just how I like it... heavy on the champs, light on the OJ. I dug that I heard my favorite Grateful Dead song Sugar Magnolia and didn't think twice about singing along. It's just that kind of crazy, energetic vibe up at that bar.

After being seated, our lovely waitress came to fill us up with delicious coffee and talk about the menu. One of my dining companions and I were Tweet virgins, so we needed the scoop on what was good on the menu. I'm pro eggs for brunch, so I decided on one of the special omelets, the Portland. It's free range organic eggs (YUM), tomatoes, bacon, peppers and, get this, cream cheese. With eggs. Can they do this? Do they dare? In case you're wondering, they can, they do and it was fantastic! And so were the hash browns with their crispy crunch on the top and warm, silky smoothness in the middle. Absolute bliss.

The service was top notch. The boys I brunched with were totally crushing on our server, which I thought was hilarious. She made excellent suggestions, checked in often and even brought the one person who didn't get a fruit with his meal a fruit cup with everyone else so he wouldn't feel left out. She was a doll. I wish I remembered your name, honey. I'd totally give you a shout-out.

In the end, it was the makings for a perfect brunch. Be prepared to wait, because Tweet is always bumping, bring cash because they don't take plastic, and enjoy the energy. I did!
