While we waited for our food we watched some of the Little League World Series and parts of Ted Kennedy\u2019s funeral procession on the big screen TVs behind the bar. A runner brought by a basket of mini corn muffins that we nibbled on. They were sweet and warm but fairly standard. It was more of a nice gesture than anything else, since you usually don\u2019t expect to get any kind of bread basket at a bar.<\/p>\n

Our food arrived a short while later and we got another round of bloody marys. I opted for the Gossip Eggs, which were smoked salmon eggs benedict with spinach on english muffins topped with hollandaise sauce. The smoked salmon was delicious, not too salty or oily, and the spinach was a nice addition that worked well with both the salmon and the hollandaise, and pulled everything together. The eggs were perfectly poached and the english muffins were toasted and crunchy. There were also roasted potato home fries on the side that were nicely seasoned but a bit too mushy in texture.<\/p>\n

Josh had two eggs over easy with grilled tomato, bacon, sausage, home fries, and white toast. It was a huge plate of food and all very tasty and well cooked, though his home fries had the same texture issues as mine. Maybe next time we\u2019ll ask if they\u2019ll let us substitute French fries instead.<\/p>\n

The Gossip Bar really was a surprisingly good find. Like I said, it doesn\u2019t look like much from the outside but inside it\u2019s open and airy and elegantly decorated. It\u2019s definitely a more upscale bar than the standard dives and pubs that we\u2019re used to. The food was really delicious and the drinks were strong and tasty. I\u2019ll definitely be back here for brunch, and maybe lunch or dinner. I saw a few sandwiches passing by us with huge piles of freshly cut skin-on fries that I\u2019m eager to try out. The atmosphere was just really mellow and I could absolutely see myself hanging out here in the future.<\/p>\n
