Review of Chapter One: The Modern Local (Sinatra Sunday Brunch)

Getting ready to try the Sinatra Sunday Brunch at Chapter One! Why is it called Sinatra Sunday? Well they only play music by Sinatra or from the era! Great way to spend a lazy Sunday!
Take a look at some of their other offerings throughout the week!
I love the look of this place!
Just a great look!
Here is the menu for Sinatra Sunday Brunch!
Sinatra Sunday Brunch features endless mimosas with your meal for $5! The carriers contain four different types of juices ranging from pomegranate, to guava, to pineapple to orange juice. As soon as you are done with your four juices, they quickly bring you another carrier! Plus, the champagne glass is constantly filled and then you can pour as much champagne into your juice glass as you would like!
I ordered the Elvis!Grand Marnier French Toast, caramelized grilled bananas, and coconut peanut butter spread! It was amazing and totally filling!
My friend Brian ordered the apple pancake which was seasonal apples and maple syrup. It was pretty darn amazing as well!

I will be taking more Sunday's off!
