Giant portions for most main dishes except the pasta. Pork chop was perfectly done. PB&J with bone marrow was interesting. Not very strong on the marrow side though.

Food was really great. We started with the cheddar beignets and they were addicting. The chiliquiles are great with the homemade chorizo added on. The carrot cake was a special for Easter and it was so worth it.

The wife picked out this place to try, so we went and checked it out. It’s in a downtown area so we found parking at a public garage and walked over. We were sat right away. The place looked nice inside. For drinks the wife thought she ordered a mimosa but ended up getting a mule instead, which she said was ok. I ordered the old fashioned which was good. The waiter recommended the Tam & jam so we tried that. It was good, but I found the cheese a little overpowering at times. For our mains, the wife ordered the chilaquiles. She didn’t care much for it because it tasted like eating tortilla chips dipped in enchilada sauce, and she didn’t like the sous vide egg. Our server noticed she barely touched it, so he took it off the bill which was nice of him. I ordered the brioche French toast. It was good, but parts were a little too sweet for me. Overall the food was ok, service was good.

Service is so slow. Portions are tiny. I’d love to hear the owner justify the price of these three comically small shredded chicken nuggets for $15. My wife and I started laughing when it hit the table.

Came in on Saturday night with no reservations and was able to get seated pretty quickly. The hostess was also the server and bartender but you wouldn’t know it with how quickly our order was taken and how often we were checked on. Food was great. The bone marrow pb&j appetizer was surprising and delicious. Would order again the next time we come back. Also pictured were the bone broth, beef stroganoff, and the burger. All great choices

Braise Willow Glen is so cute and such a great place to enjoy brunch. I have only visited for brunch but will have to try for lunch and dinner soon and I will update my review once I do.
