Where to get Eggs Neptune for Brunch in Boston?

[ymartins]

I'm new to Boston and am craving Eggs Neptune. Any suggestions?

ym, Soundbites in Somerville does an excellent eggs benedict and they also serve your dish. their hollandaise is lemony and thick; the whole benedict plate is really well done.

fyi,their fruit bowl is best i've seen: wide assortment(usually 10 kinds) of RIPE fruit ; very big bowl, for little money. We just discovered this place a few months ago and we have become regulars. Manager ,Jaime, is a great guy too.A real "yes' place all around.

Caffe Nuovo on Salem St. in the North End has Eggs Benedict with either crab, lobster or grilled shrimp. The hollandaise seems to be more of a vinegar-based hollandaise as opposed to the lemon that I prefer, but it's still tasty. I had the lobster Benedict, and while it was a generous serving of lobster, it was a little mushy. Worth a try, though, if you're having a craving.

They definitely have a crab benedict at Captain Marden's in Wellesley.

I had to google it to find out it's basically eggs benedict but with crab instead of canadian bacon. Never seen that in Boston. Crabcakes are common but crab alone is not.

This sounds like the eggs oscar at S&S in Somerville/Cambridge, but they could be crabcakes. IIRC, their version also had asparagus, but I remember liking it very much.
