I met my family for brunch here last week, and we enjoyed the food.

Steak & Eggs
Grilled 6oz New York Strip with tarragon butter, two organic eggs and redskin potatoes
(Please excuse Mama happy_stomach's "well done" everything, including eggs.)



Pork Belly Sandwich
Smoked pork belly, fried egg, arugula, tomato, garlic aioli with redskin potatoes
My aunt thought the meat was too lean, though this is a common complaint when it comes to pork belly in the happy_stomach family.



Tofu Scramble
French beans, spinach, leeks, tomatoes, roasted garlic, lemon zest & basil puree served with crispy polenta and dark rye toast
I didn't order this, but I expected more of a traditional scramble than a salad. For me, the combination of flavors didn't really work.



Pancetta Biscuits & Gravy
Buttermilk biscuits smothered in Italian sausage gravy topped with house-cured pancetta, shallot frizzle and organic egg
This was the favorite at our table. It had a nice balance of flavors and textures. The rich and peppery gravy was excellent.



Steamed PEI Mussels
Hard cider, blue cheese, leek and apple
I'm the weirdo who ordered mussels for breakfast, and I did not like this preparation. Specially, the menu listed the apple as Granny Smith, but my order came topped with, I believe, Honey Crisp which was very discordant with the mildly sour and otherwise boring broth.



Despite service being very slow and a few misses with our food, I'd return to Revolution for brunch. There was no wait at 11am last Sunday, and it made for a very pleasant one-two punch with dessert and shopping at the indoor Logan Square Farmers Market afterward.
