Updates:
Nightbell closed. The chef, Eric Morris, moved on to helm the kitchen at Wicked Weed’s Cultura and his own pop-up series, ITER.
In Montford, Liberty House Coffee and the Waterbird are cafes worth stops. I’ve heard the small plates and cocktails at Waterbird are great - their pastries and espresso drinks hit the spot. I also hear raves about the reasonably-priced brunch at Golden Fleece out that way.
The local foods shop next to Bee Charmer had closed. There’s a great poké shop, Aloha, in its place.
Also worth checking out for brunch is Sawhorse, serving Canadian and Adirondack rib-sticking fare. Way better food and much less wait than any place downtown or in WAVL.
And finally: the staff at Calypso were assholes to us and visitors from out of town, so strike that recommendation.
