A friend and I were looking for a place that boasted delicious food and drinks for brunch last Sunday, and we decided to try out NCounter. We arrived at 9:30 a.m. before any rush, which is ALWAYS a huge plus. I felt lucky. The ladies at the counter were perky for a Sunday morning, which is more than I could say for myself...COFFEE PLEASE! \n\nAfter deliberating with my friend about which two dishes to choose out of the dozens that sounded fantastic, I ordered The Pear-- complete with bosc pear, havarti cheese, sliced almonds and bacon. My friend ordered the huevos and chorizo! These meals were tres bien and aye aye aye awesome, respectively. The Pear had crispy bacon served up in the cheesy goodness, which was balanced out by the crisp pears and almonds. I enjoyed the array of tastes present. I topped mine off with a Bloody Mary, which was served in a tall glass with just the right amount of spice. Hurray!  The huevos and chorizo was the right amount of mess. The combination of chorizo, onions, grilled potatoes, salsa, cheese with flour tortilla can never steer me wrong after any night, especially a long one. Our waters were consistently refilled for us by wandering good-looking waiters. The aesthetics and atmosphere looked and felt good to me. There is also the right amount of people-watching one can do here, from the hungover sorority types, to the bicycling hipsters, and cheery family members and friends greeting one another. I was entertained.\n\nHowever, the queue steadily grew towards the door while we enjoyed our conversation and brekkie. So, while I love it, I will never go there during the rush hours. I totally understand some of the frustration about wait times. SO! That said, overall experience was fantastic and I'll get my slow butt up early for breakfast again and again! :)
