When going to Jack and Charlie 118 for brunch, there are definitely a few things that one must try. First is their Bloody Mary cart ($20) that they will wheel to your table so you can customize your own, picking first vodka or gin (I chose Ketel One vodka), hot sauce (I chose Cholula), the amount of horseradish you would like (or none if you do not like it) and a bunch of toppings like olives (marinated, stuffed with blue cheese…), bacon and others. Then proceed with their old fashioned cinnamon donuts (2 for $9), accompanied with a coffee anglaise sauce. These doughnuts are really good, dense and moist, perfect on their own or with the coffee anglaise that added some richness to it.

While there, I saw lots of fluffy pancakes being served, but it is the babka French toast ($24) that I wanted to try, and I was not disappointed. The thick slices of babka were perfectly soaked, the outside being slightly crunchy and the inside eggy and oozing chocolate. To counteract the sugar we just had, Jodi got their baked omelet ($25), that was made with manchego cheese, baby spinach and artichokes. Not sure how they make it, but it was rich and moist, quite comforting. On my side, I had to try their prime rib panini ($32), that seem also to be a popular dish. Served « French dip » style, the thin slices of prime rib were smothered with four different cheeses and topped with caramelized onions. Decadent, extremely rich, it was superb. I should mention the Parmesan fries that were thin and crispy, the way I like them.
