Consumer Critique: CRAVE Brunch

Disclosure: I received complimentary products to facilitate this post. All opinions are my own. 

Kaskaid Hospitality is launching a new breakfast and brunch program at select restaurants in the Twin Cities. The breakfast and brunch offerings will be available at CRAVE West End, UNION Rooftop and Salsa A La Salsa Uptown starting in spring 2015.

 

The CRAVE West End breakfast and brunch has dining available on Saturdays and Sundays between 8am-2pm. CRAVE’s team of five executive chefs created the all-new menu offerings. Signature items include Crab & Shrimp Cake Benedict, Braised Short Rib Hash, and the CRAVE Stack of buttermilk pancakes layered with brandied peaches and apples, and S’mores Waffles.

 

UNION Rooftop has offered brunch on Sundays from 11am-2pm for just over a year, and recently began offering breakfast starting at 8am. UNION breakfast and brunch menu highlights include bottomless mimosas available on Sundays until 2pm, Portobello Benedict, Mascarpone Stuffed French Toast and UNION’s signature hash browns.

 

Brunch is also now available at the Salsa A La Salsa Uptown location. Breakfast is served Saturdays and Sundays between 10am-3pm. Authentic Mexican menu offerings include Chilaquiles, Southwestern Omelet, tortilla casserole, Huevos con Chorizo with home made chorizo, and the Bloody Maria which is a Mexican take on the Bloody Mary.

 

The breakfast and brunch menus for CRAVE West End, UNION Rooftop and Salsa A La Salsa Uptown are available online through each restaurant’s website. 

 

We had a chance to try out the food at CRAVE. It was delicious. The menu is a bit pricier than what we normally budget for a meal out, but the food was very high quality compared to many lower-budget restaurants. The atmosphere is pleasant - perfect for a nice date, but also not so stuffy that we didn't feel comfortable bringing our kids there. Service was awesome. We will definitely go back to one of the Kaskaid restaurants in the area for date night or a family celebration!
