Red Eye is very focused on quality savory dishes and a quality cup of coffee.
Located in a trendy section on Walnut Street, it isn t the easiest restaurant to spot with the cafe s name on a dark awning. There is no parking lot, and parking can be difficult depending on the time of day.
The cafe is very clean with lots of dark wood and white subway tile. The tables are individual and relatively comfortable despite the restaurant being crowded. In the morning, especially on the weekend there may be a 15-30 minute wait for brunch. When it s nice out, there is a quaint alley way with tables, but it can be difficult to get prompt service outside.
The staff is very friendly and is knowledgeable about the menu items, or are willing to find out the answers if you have questions.
For brunch, we had the Chipotle Cheese Sandwich and the Waffle Sandwich. The waffle sandwich with bacon and egg accompanied by fresh fruit was good, but the spicy maple dipping sauce made it very good I did not try the Cheese Sandwich, but was told it was tasty.
Our pour over coffee was very good, though not the best and probably wouldn t stop in just for it.
In total, brunch came to $40 for 2 including tip. As with most trendy cafes, it s considerably pricier than most diners and other breakfast spots. The uniqueness and quality can justify the cost, though there are other cafes I would make a regular visit to before coming back.
