Savory Street

Quiche wih red peppers, broccoli, and mushrooms, side of fruit
Creative Crater: France (eggs with ham, brie, and bacon)

Savory Street, located in the quaint Citrus Square, had been beckoning Our Protagonist for some time, and on this particular morning, he had time to answer that call along with a dining companion for breakfast.  The draw, here, is that all the bakery goods are made in-house, something that is on the rise, but still not too common an occurrence.  The special that morning, the Quiche with Red Peppers, Broccoli, and Mushrooms, needed to be sampled to verify the claims to baking excellence.  Sad to say, Our Protagonist found it fine, average really, in terms of the crust.  Or, what was that term he heard first to describe Key Lime Pie in one establishment?  Oh, yes, "Serviceable."  The filling, too, screamed nonchalance, not at all the breakfast aspired to by these noble ingredients.  One must note that each into themselves have mild flavors, so spices should have been added to the mix to boost the zestiness.  The Creative Crater, eaten by the dining partner, was very cute; sort of an artisan baker's take on toad-in-the-hole.  Of course, one can't go wrong with ham, brie, and bacon, and the bread did get a good nod from the partaker.  The best thing going for Savory Street is that they have lovely presentation; the fruit accompaniment was arranged lovingly on the plates, almost to the point of making one feel guilty for disturbing the sculpture.   Now if only their dishes can rise to the level of their presentation, we'll really have something here.
