Brunch at Eccolo, Berkeley, CA
On the recommendation of a great burger, we headed to Berkeley for brunch at Eccolo, a place we'd never been to nor heard of. It was ok, although the service was a bit off. The pace was far too slow for brunch and the service inattentive. It took at least 45 minutes from the time we ordered for our food to arrive, although we saw other tables sit down and be served before us. And never in this time did the waitress come over to explain why our food was taking so long.
Crab Omelette with Spicy Guacamole $16
Pretty expensive for an omelette, although it was a good omelette, with big chunks of crab. Spicy was a bit of a misnomer for this guacamole, but it was decent nonetheless.
Triple Garlic Burger with Bacon $15
This burger was topped with garlic aioli, garlic butter and a while head of roasted garlic. The roasted garlic overpowered everything else, but that was fine with us. Also, this burger was heavy on the bacon, which was nice, since you usually get a measly 2 slices. The one fault of the burger was it's shape, which was more spherical then disc-like, making it a bit difficult to eat.
