Superfine brunch with kids: breakfast burrito was rated “very tasty,” as were the burger (“this is huge!”), fried chicken sandwich (“very good”), and the kids’ chicken fingers with fries (“these are like *fancy* chicken fingers!”). I had the farro with roasted vegetables and it was tasty and filling - I had enough for leftovers. As for the 4 kids I brought - all plates were clean at the end of the meal! Great atmosphere to chill on the weekend. Football games were on for those interested but kids were fine hanging out and able to run around outside at Runway when they needed to.
