Brunch at One Red Door -- Hudson, OH

By -

Last Sunday Dave and I went to brunch in Hudson at One Red Door. Aside from their traditional lunch and dinner menu, One Red Door serves brunch every Sunday from 10 am-3 pm. Part of the reason we decided to visit, aside from our love of brunch, was that Dave and I both really enjoy 3 Palms Pizzeria and FlipSide in Hudson. The owner of 3 Palms Pizzeria and FlipSide also owns One Red Door, so we had high expectations for our brunch.

We arrived slightly before they opened for the day, because we wanted to make sure to get a seat on the patio. It was a little warm out last weekend, but the weather was gorgeous. 






First order of business was ordering a mimosa, One Red Door also has a Bloody Mary Bar available during brunch if that's your brunch cocktail of preference.



We both decided to order savory dishes for our meal, so we split an order of the Warm Coffee Cake with Pineapple Rum Glaze, in order to get something a little sweet as well. I think we were both glad that we ordered the coffee cake, it was perfect to split, sweet, but not overly sweet. It was a nice way to start of the meal, and our morning.





For my meal I ordered the Eggs Benedict -- there are four different ways to order them at One Red Door, I selected the Avocado and Tomato option. The house made English muffins add a nice touch to the Eggs Benedict. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the hollandaise sauce was great, and the tomatoes really helped add something to the dish -- a bite wasn't quite complete without them.

I also appreciated the stunning presentation, every plate we received looked gorgeous and tasted just as good.




Dave ordered the Breakfast Pizza without the bacon. This pizza was topped with fried eggs, potatoes, caramelized onion, cave aged gruyere cheese, and parsley. Dave liked the pizza, but was left kind of wishing that he had ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes. He did enjoy the leftovers the next day though.






We liked the outdoor set-up of the patio, we were entirely in the shade the entire time and the patio was relatively quiet. Our service was fantastic and overall we were happy with brunch.

My rating for Brunch at One Red Door:

Today's Bride Wedding Show -- Cleveland, OH

Right after engagement season (the period from Thanksgiving to New Year's) it's bridal show season. During the last nine months of my engagement I have not attended a single bridal show. Now suggestions for bridal show events are showing up all over my Facebook page. As a 2017 bride with most of her vendors already chosen, I wasn't inclined to check out any bridal shows during the next few months, but I was offered the opportunity to be the featured bride at my photographer's booth at the Today's Bride Bridal Show in Cleveland, which gave me the opportunity to interact with other Northeast Ohio couples, as well as explore the displays at the IX Center. This is a two day event, I was present just for the second day of the bridal show. The super cute stemless wine glass above was available for purchase with champagne, wine, or a cocktail. As you already know I'm obsessed with all things Ohio, so I needed one of the glasses. Once I was done at my photograph

Velvet Tango Room -- Cleveland, OH

V elvet Tango Room is in a nondescript hole-in-the wall located on the fringes of the Ohio City and Tremont neighborhoods of Cleveland. From the outside the facade of the Velvet Tango Room blends right into the dilapidated buildings that surround the venue. On Friday night, the street was quiet, the glow of downtown was behind us, but Columbus street was dark. Had we not been to the Velvet Tango Room before, the glow of the neon sign would have been the only thing to lead us to our destination. The Velvet Tango Room is not like other bars, there are numerous articles touting how exclusive and elusive entrance to the Velvet Tango Room can be. You see, there is no need to make reservations to sit in the front room; although the venue is a secret in and of itself, the secret backroom, which is accessible by key card entrance only, requires reservations in advance...sometimes weeks in advance. Some people have written that the backroom is for the socially elite -- despite the fact th

Afternoon Tea at Coquette Patisserie -- Cleveland, OH

Happy Mardi Gras! I wanted to get this post in before the end of February and it's fitting, because Coquette Patisserie has King Cake today.  On February 19th Dave and I attended Afternoon Tea at Coquette Patisserie -- this event required registration in advance and it sold out so if you see an Afternoon Tea pop up on Coquette Patisserie's Facebook page make sure to register yourself! Afternoon Tea is an event hosted semi-frequently at Coquette Patisserie -- a quick glance at their past Facebook events showed a December, January, and February tea. However, this is not a monthly event (yet), so if you'd like to attend one keep an eye out and then make sure to book a table. Afternoon Tea for February consisted of a prix fixe menu which included "a tea sandwich, quiche, French macaron, opera cake, cheesecake and fresh baked brioche with jam & compound butter, and a pot of tea or a french press of coffee." When we arrived we discovered tha
