Overjoyed to see Podmore resume brunch service. Brunch menu is a tad smaller to keep things manageable but quality is still excellent. 1-2 brunch specials rotating through would definitely be something I'd look forward to if offered. For townside locations I think it's hard to beat Podmore as a Sat/Sun brunch spot.

Hadn't been here in over half a year. Furniture has been rearranged to its format from about 2 years ago. We got a booth which was nice. Service was warm and attentive; food was excellent. Must come back here soon.
