BEST BRUNCHES !
STREET KITCHEN AND BAR
THE MENU : Items range from breakfast fare like a delicately cooked French-style omelet with Boursin cheese and hearty Benedicts to lunchtime selections like a bulky brunch burger topped with a fried egg or beef tenderloin served with poached eggs and bearnaise sauce . VIBE CHECK : Settle in on the enclosed deck on the East Greenwich Marina and discuss which sailing vessel you ’ d like to someday take for a spin . The upstairs indoor dining room , also available for private events , is lined with windows that open up to the bay in good weather . GET : You could make a whole meal out of the roasted beet burrata salad with a variety of roasted and pickled beets paired with creamy burrata on top of a bed of arugula , drizzled with lemon-truffle vinaigrette and sprinkled with toasted pistachios . Avocado tartine is a fancier take on toast , with an earthy avocado spread daintily topped with crisp radishes and a light citrus vinaigrette dressing . Since the starters are on the lighter side , main courses are meant for indulging . Soak up those mimosas with any of the Benedicts paired with pan-seared crabcakes and meaty short ribs or opt for the comforting chicken and freshly baked buttery biscuits . BOTTOMS UP : Sip citrus and spirits with breakfast as a substitute for OJ : The Water Street Marguerite mixes up grapefruit with reposado tequila and maraschino liqueur and the Mezcalita de Muerte combines blood orange puree with mezcal , lime juice and orange bitters . There ’ s also a Chai Latte Martini with Baileys , vanilla-infused vodka , espresso and chai for a different kind of buzz . BRUNCH FOR TWO : $ 50 –$ 65 plus tip . FINE PRINT : Water Street Kitchen ’ s brunch menu is available Saturdays and Sundays starting at 11:30 a . m . Stay a little longer into the afternoon and experience Water Street ’ s special sushi menu , too . ● 28 Water St ., East Greenwich , 398-0202 , waterstreetkitchenri . com — J . C .
