We had a little family birthday celebration for yours truly this past weekend at a local eatery, Crú Food and Wine Bar in The Woodlands, TX. It was simple, unfussy, lovely, and delicious. Check out some of our dishes.
My choice was the Crab Benedict; rich and simple, it was a perfect birthday brunch dishThe Caprese Melt was served alongside a fresh, tangy arugula saladMussels swam in a lemony, buttery, white wine brothThe Napa Burger was dressed with fig jam, arugula and sharp cheese and served alongside crunchy matchstick potatoesThe Lemon Tart was just the right balance between tart and sweet; a scattering of chopped pistachios added a special touchThe Chocolate Lava Cake was happy birthday to me! Dark and gooey, it spoke to me…
The food was world-class, and not so expensive that the fam couldn’t also swing for birthday gifts! And the mimosas were excellent, with carafes of about 6 glasses for only $10. Yes, you heard that right – $10 mimosa carafes. We’ll be back for brunch again soon!!!
