Brunch review: M. Henrietta

M. Henrietta The hype about the hotcakes at M. Henry—the older and similarly charming sibling of this Edgewater spot—has been deafening for years. Believe it. They’re perfectly crisped on the outside, light and fluffy as clouds on the inside and overall substantial enough to be endlessly satisfying. M. Henrietta has devised various ways to bury these works of beauty (granola, blackberries, mascarpone cream) and many other menu items to distract from them (merely serviceable omelettes, unforgivable breakfast potatoes). Do not submit to these whims. Brunch served Tue–Fri 6:30am–3:30pm; Sat, Sun 8am–3pm (closed Mon). 1133 W Granville Ave (773-761-9700). El: Red to Granville. Bus: 36, 136, 147, 151. Average main course: $12.—Julia Kramer
