Love is in the Air: Valentine’s Day 2016 Brunch is near and dear to Astorian hearts; good food, good drinks, and sitting back to enjoy the weekend. Rèst-âü-Ránt has become a neighborhood staple and a favorite off-the-beaten-path watering hole. Owner and purveyor of food & drink awesomeness, Tina, loves to give Astorians a place to hang out. Whether its after a long day of work (try the Beer & Bacon Happy Hour), a venue for commiserating with laughter (Tuesday nights Wine & Cheese Comedy show), or a place to brunch and cure your hangover (see soup below) while leveling off with a Mary or Mimosa. The winner of this giveaway (and the plus one of their choice) will get a pitcher of Mimosas to wash down samples of Rèst-âü-Ránt’s most popular brunch items; Hangover Soup, Chicken & Waffles, Huevos Rancheros, Bacon Jam, and the Elvis. Grab a friend, co-worker, lover, or fighter and enter to win; check out what the WHA team has to say about some of the samples featured in this giveaway. Bacon Jam: “The spread is rich, smokey and laced with caramelized onions, which I love. A blanket of gooey brie cheese makes it a totally over the top starter.” – Judith Chicken & Waffles: “This was my absolute favorite dish at brunch. I used to eat chicken and waffles in Oakland, and haven’t had them for years, so after seeing this set down at our table, I was pretty excited! The waffle itself was soft and fluffy, and the organic chicken atop it had a bit of a crunch to the coating with a crazy delicious savory sauce on it. It was also moist, which is no easy feat with chicken breast. I also loved the spicy orange jam around the edge of the plate, which matched everything perfectly. I would absolutely get this again—highly recommended.” -Meg Huevos Racheros: “I was intrigued by the grilled polenta that sat at the base. The eggs were nice and runny in the middle and the tomatoes chunky and sweet – however I was craving more of those hearty black beans”. – Judith a Rafflecopter giveaway Twitter Facebook Email Print Brunch for Twochicken and wafflesGiveawaysMimosasRaR Bar About Emily Rios Emily Rios manages special events, sponsored content and advertising clients as WHA's Business Development Director.
