                                    Another exceptional all around experience for weekend brunch. The menu is always inviting with many different kinds of dishes for all tastes. Are outside under shade on a beautiful 70 degree day. Started with a beet salad that was loaded with beets! Pistachios and citrus segments made the dish with a great dressing. The chilaquiles with the chipotle chicken was exceptional. Excellent red sauce, chicken tender and moist. Really tasty! We come here frequently when we are in the area and it NEVER disappoints!

                                    Usually have a great brunch at El Dorado Kitchen. Have been there many times. This time, everything was off. The food was good but nothing special. We started with salmon tartare that was not a tartare at all. The salmon tartare was lox covered with finely chopped tomatoes, plated like a tartare dish. Having full pieces of lox does not make a salmon tartare. Our entrees were a salad (good) with chicken breast (dry) and short rib hash with a plain green salad. The salad dressing was fine. The hash was truly nothing to write home about. The service was extremely slow from taking the order, to getting each course, to waiting for the check. The restaurant was not busy when we arrived and had filled up more by the time we finished brunch but definitely everything about the experience was below what we expect or have experienced from El Dorado Kitchen in the past. Although every restaurant can have a one-off, the overall experience (especially the service) had us both talking about what other restaurants we would try in the area next time.
