Summer brunches
(Algerina Perna/Sun Photographer)
People often ask me for brunch recommendations, particularly this time of year. I'm going to have a suggestion whenever I can on Saturdays, so check back here next week. (But if I can't come up with a good one, I'll write about something else.)
Anyway, one I forget about is Abacrombie near the Meyerhoff. ...
Not all my recommendations are going to be as expensive as this one, but this time of year there are a lot of special occasions. This would be a place to celebrate a graduation, anniversary or wedding.
Chef Michael Putnam told me (over the phone, of course) that the most requested dish is the truffled grits, even though it's just a side. One signature dish is the eggs Benedict made with a twist, like smoked salmon instead of Canadian bacon.
The menu is a la carte, but there's also a chef's tasting menu for $29. As well as mimosas and bloody marys, of course.
Too bad there's not a beautiful little garden patio for this good food, but the rooms are pretty and light-filled -- even the basement dining room.
Brunch is served from noon to 4 p.m. on Sundays only, and reservations are a good idea.

Sunday brunch at Kali's Court is pretty darned good, and it does have a little garden patio to take in the Fells Point scene. There are a couple internal things that could be of interest. One is the vegtables are organic, a unadvertised commitment to quality that is nice to know. Another is the chef doing your brunch came out of Charlie Trotter's kitchen in Chicago. The food, the presentation, etc. show it.

Miss Shirley's on Cold Spring Lane in Roland Park is excellent for brunch. The place gets crowded and I don't believe they take reservations, so get there early.
