Park West Tavern holds a special place in my heart, not for any other reason but the location. When I was growing up, this restaurant used to be Cafe Winberie - aka the place where I discovered the glory of chocolate fondue. I spent a lot of fun nights here eating fondue and listening to live jazz with friends (& high school boyfriends… hehe.) Since opening its doors in November 2011, Park West Tavern has updated the interior and menu, offering more elevated dishes in a casual atmosphere.

Although a part of me really wanted chocolate fondue, I forgot all about it when I had the Kobe Beef Sliders. I am not a big burger person but if there is a Kobe Beef slider on a menu, I will almost always order it. The meat was seasoned well and cooked medium, the cheese was melted evenly over the patty, and the toasted brioche bun added the perfect crunch.

| Vegetable Frittata |
For brunch, I opted for the Vegetable Frittata. The portion size was decent enough for me to eat ¾ of the frittata. I loved that the frittata itself wasn't too salty and it was the parmesan cheese that added a salty kick to the dish. My favorite part was the hen of the woods mushrooms!

| Corned Beef Hash, Poached Egg, Holl |
This second dish was a bit disappointing after the Kobe beef sliders. The corned beef hash was a bit bland, following the well seasoned beef. I guess corned beef hash is one of those foods that taste their best when ordered at a greasy diner.
All in all, Park West Tavern is a great location for a family brunch or a casual drink with friends at the end of a long week. Even with the new makeover, it makes me feel at home. If you're still looking for Mother's Day brunch options, this may be a great place to check out!
I hope you all enjoy your Mother's Days with your families!
