Enid's

frozen drinks: yes.  bloody marys: yes.  tasty food: yes.  great all around.

I come here because I know I will have a lovely dining experience. The food is around 3.5 on a scale of 5; sometimes the brioche rolls on the sandwiches are kind of stale, sometimes there is a little too much salt on the vegetables, but issues of that sort are easily fixable. The staff here are so nice, and the drinks so solid, I know I will walk out of Enid's feeling great.

Things have changed a lot since I wrote my first review of Enids six years ago.   The neighborhood has a zillion places more popular now, but the quality here has not suffered.    The wait for brunch is never bad here anymore, but the place is never empty.  The Enids crowd has grown up and a lot of us are having kids.   And Enid's welcomes our kids for brunch.  And the atmosphere seems to absorb any disruptions a kid makes,  this is not a place where you hear the sound of kids crying excruciatingly amplified.  The acoustics here are great, there is plenty of space between tables, natural light filters through the blinds, the climate is pleasant, the music is mellow,  we are sooo grateful for that.  The food is consistently good.   The bloody mary is excellent.  The enids salad is delicious.  The fruit salad is fresh and substantial.  The french fries are crispy.  The staff are all very cool and very competent.   You may be able to find more cutting edge cuisine in the neighborhood and hipper scenes, but you'd be hard pressed to find a more accomodating, chill and consistently pleasant place for brunch.    Long live Enids!
