Next...Morgan's

Next stop on our quest will be Morgan's Bar and Grill in the Alhambra Triangle area of East Sacramento.  Our first pool hall with bottomless mimosas, specializing in "bar food"....stay tuned to see how they do.

Pour House

Pour House makes a poor impression landing at the bottom of our list.

located in Midtown

As of this post ranked #14 of 14. Total Score 4.8

Reservations
This place lost points before we got there.  As a large group we give negative points when reservations cannot be made.

Other Bottomless Drinks
None.  Although their Bloody Mary was pretty good.

Outdoor Seating
No - there is some but very limited in the back.  Not very appealing next to the train tracks.

Food Issues
Most dishes included biscuits and potatoes both were cold/room temp.  Cold food is not very appetizing especially biscuits where part of the appeal is the buttery goodness - butter is not as good cold.  The Benedict were uniquely on biscuits but when cold the whole thing seemed dry and unappealing.  One of our group sent his Biscuits and Gravy back 2x in order to get warmer Biscuits.  The rest of us suffered through it because if it is that widespread its just not worth it to cause a fuss.  These food issues added more negative points.

Food Variety
rated 4 out of 10.  The brunch menu was small with 80% Benedict's and Omelets.

Availability of Car Parking
rated 7 out of 10.  The streets around the location have spots with no parking restrictions and with our 5+ cars we had no trouble parking within a block.

Mimosa kept full
rated 7 out of 10.  Services was good too.

Atmosphere
rated 7 out of 10. It was a bit noisy and overall the atmosphere of having to have a large group at multiple tables isn't great.  But overall we did enjoy the overall rustic vintage vibe.

Next...Pour House

The next brunch we will try in the Pour House.  Most of the remaining brunch places do not allow reservations which is very annoying for a group of 10...so this one starts with minus points.  Lets see how they stack up.

This is our first brunch for 2014.  We took January off but we have spots planned for each month this year.
