Blissful Brunching @ Sensing

Brunch at Sensing last Sunday was a pleasure. After a nice dinner earlier this month I decided why not pay them another visit. I made my way down to a snow bank dotted Battery Wharf. It was a solo outing today.The host was kind and welcoming as I settled in and he started me off right away with cup of Freshly Brewed Coffee ($4).Smooth and robust with rich cream and two sugars.I appreciated that the coffee pot was left for unlimited self service pours.I settled back in the cozy gray booth and enjoyed the atmosphere. The Caramel Apple Spiced Pumpkin Pancakes and the Caramelized Pear and Pomegranate Brioche French Toasts sounded delightful. But I couldn't deter from my brunch staple this morning, especially after my waitress commented that the Eggs Benedict is her favorite dish on the menu. But before the main course, some tasty orange scones. Accompanied by a little spread of jams. These scones were soft and moist, sweet and crumbly. I slathered one half in raspberry preserves the other saw a spoon full of grape jam.It wasn't long before I convinced myself to splurge on a Mimosa ($8). So glad I did. Bright and juicy, teased with pulp, sweet fruity orange juice with a dry bubbly finish; this was a necessary compliment to my Eggs Benedict ($15) Vermont Jambon, Sauce Hollandaise, Truffle Salsa. First of all, can we talk about these beautiful vegetables?Crisp and fresh asparagus and carrots topped a juicy tomato stuffed with a flaky breadcrumb and herb mixture. Savory baked potato wedges were dusted in herbs de Provence. That hollandaise is buttery, lemony, egg yolk bliss. The velvet emulsion cascaded over two perfectly poached eggs and pooled onto folded slices of high quality Vermont ham. Finished off with a with a truffle salsa, this eggs Benedict outshines most others. Have brunch here someday, won't you?
