I loved everything about Vinegar Hill House except for the terrible service. The wait staff appear to be spacey and quite honestly run by a bunch of hipsters who don't really care. It's really a shame, because this place has so much to offer, but I definitely won't be rushing to return anytime soon.
Three of my girlfriends and I decided to try out Vinegar Hill House for brunch one day.
We started with the Eggs & Tomato with parmesan cheese and toast. This was delicious and we finished it without a bit left.

One of them had the Sourdough Pancake with apples, maple syrup and orange butter. The pancake from what I hear was amazing and compared to Clinton Street Bakery, which was named best pancakes in the city.

A friend of mine and myself shared the Lump Crab Omelette and it came with a small green salad on the side. The omelette was amazing and we awed over the incredibly smooth texture of the omelette on the exterior part. The inside was overfilling with crab and left us wanting for more.

We also shared the Quiche made with cauliflower and gruyere cheese. This was another great dish served on a wooden cutting board.

Our other friend got the Reuben Sanchez which has braised corn beef with sharp cheddar and a tomato-jalapeno jam.

Everything at Vinegar Hill House was well-made; however, the poor service is still on my mind.
After our fulfilling brunch at Vinegar Hill House, we toured around Brooklyn and I knew I had to make a stop at Sweet Melissa's. My favorites are the tarts. The pumpkin whoopie pie (upper left corner) was dry and tasted as though it was kept a few days too long. The lemon meringue and passion fruit with blackberry tarts were perfect and better than I remember them to be. The banana cream pie was for Marcos.
Sweet Melissa's has two locations - both in Brooklyn, but far from where I live. I hope they open a location in Williamsburg soon or at least in Manhattan.
