It’s no April Fool’s Day joke: Smitty’s Oyster house on Main Street is bringing Weekend Brunch to the menu at the Mount Pleasant hotspot starting this Friday, March 31, with a special Easter Monday service offered on April 10th.
Available on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., the new menu from Head Chef Alan Older adds an array of creatively delicious dishes to the menu, including a trio of spins on brunch staple Eggs Benedict (Smoked Salmon, Crab and Classic), a towering Chef AO’s Shrimp & Lobster Roll with house-made Old Bay-seasoned potato chips, a selection of sides for the DIY crowd, and more.
Behind the pine, GM and Bar Manager Nicky Annable will stir up a bevy of boozy brunch libations such as Mimosas in orange, raspberry and grapefruit flavours, Smitty’s Caesars (vodka, Smitty’s signature clamato, fresh grated horseradish, lime, pickle), Espresso Martinis (vodka, Kahlua, espresso, shaved chocolate) and Classic Margaritas (Cazadores reposado, Cointreau, fresh lime, agave).
