Brunch at Miel
Have you read Adam’s previous post on dinner at Miel? After reading it myself, I knew I had to go. With good timing, a $50 gift certificate soon came up for purchase for $25 on groupon.com and off we went for Sunday brunch.
When we arrived at the restaurant we were immediately greeted by a friendly, cheerful host (but thankfully not too cheerful! It was Sunday morning, after all.) We were led to our table, a cozy three-sided banquette which I later found out is “Table 10.” I highly recommend asking for that table. From it, you get a good view of the activity of the restaurant but are not directly in the walk path of anyone.
We began our meal with a large French press of coffee ($7) and the three cheese plate ($10). Although there was a mishap with the press, the error turned out to be an introduction to the amazing service you’ll get at Miel. Our server was very thoughtful and attentive. After discovering the error, the server immediately corrected it and all was well. The cheese plate came with a nice selection of cheddar, gruyere, and a soft cheese, which I unfortunately cannot remember. We also soon received some very delicious, yeasty rolls which came with butter and I believe peach preserves. They were hot out of the oven and very good.
Soon our entrees arrived – crab cake with biscuit and bernaise sauce ($14) and braised beer short ribs ($14). The crab cake came with poached eggs as well, although they were unadvertised. Unfortunately, the crab cake was way too salty for my taste. I would have loved it otherwise. Josh’s short ribs came with hashbrowns, poached eggs, and bernaise sauce, and he loved the meal.
I’ve got to say, however, that the high point of the meal was the side order of bacon ($4) we ordered. Our server informed us that it’s made by the restaurant and I believe smoked on-site. Goodness, that bacon was a full half a centimeter thick. It was very chewy and very good. We’re now on a mission to see if Miel will sell it by itself for home cooking.
With the exception of the salty crab cake, we really enjoyed our meal at Miel. It looks like many other people grabbed those Groupons as well, so we hope you are looking forward to your meal and enjoy it!

YUM! I wish I were not leaving Nashville so soon. This sounds like a wonderful place I would enjoy a lot.
