Background:
We reviewed Haberdish ages ago ( back when we were apparently taking photos with a disposable underwater camera...sorry about that), but it has remained a major part of our lives. In fact, we currently agree that it ranks as our number one favorite restaurant in Charlotte. Haberdish is owned by Jeff & Jamie Tonidandel (more on their background here), and they recently introduced weekday brunch. We were invited out to check out the menu, and we were just as impressed with brunch as we are with their dinner, which is to say: we freaking loved it. Keep reading to check out what we ordered!

Classic Bloody Mary
Atmosphere:
Haberdish is versatile, as there are many different vibes depending on the area of the restaurant. The bar is hip and lively, a back corner is intimate and cozy, and the front or side porch is bright and airy. You can have whatever you like (cue the T.I. music).

Brunching Hospitality:
The service is generally great at Haberdish. We have not had any bad experiences thus far.
Frankie's Notes:
Weekday brunch is for lovers and stay-at-home moms; We promise to stop using cameras enrobed in cardboard; The only thing better than brunch dessert is dessert dessert: think about that; Coffee in a thermos is as outdoorsy as we get; I've never seen T.I. while brunching at Haberdish, but I certainly would like to.
