I see good things posted about the place on the board, but nothing about brunch. What can I expect? What should I not miss? Thanks!

Brunch is the best meal at Oznot's. I particularly like the Huevos Tripoli and the Cardamom French Toast. The tea selection is fabulous. And there is an Indian egg dish that is also amazing.

Of course, this was several years ago, so perhaps things have improved. Fri Jan 03 16:48:18 -0800 2003 1268947 0 Champ 1 1269013 Oznot's is probably my favorite place for brunch. I am not a big fan of breakfast foods in general, but they manage to turn the standard eggs-and-accompanying-meat fare into something new and interesting. My favorite was a Green Eggs and Lamb dish, with poached eggs, lamb merguez and potato hash and a green spice paste (don't remember what it was); unfortunately this item is not on the current menu. I had another dish that was very good as well - either Eggs Tripoli or Eggs Madagascar. I think things have changed at Oznot's since the last poster's visit a few years ago, as the staff has been very friendly every time I have been.

(in no-nonsense mom voice) friend: uh...gone. i finished. someone...took it away (confused and worried). waitress: and you're STILL hungry? (incredulously). friend: (nervous laughter). we couldn't decide if that should be considered rude, but it made us laugh anyway. Mon Jan 06 02:28:52 -0800 2003 1268947 0 Nancy
