Eem is also a great place to be able to go and get, like, a bomb nonalcoholic drink and still feel like you’re celebrating and having something fancy. The other drink of theirs that I’ve really been enjoying lately is one that’s called “Drugs”; it’s a combination of bitter pineapple, coffee, rum, coconut, and orange.
Tusk is a very stylish, modern restaurant that focuses on flavors of the Levant, but expressed through the Northwest’s most beautiful produce. Everything is so fresh. I think that it’s best enjoyed during the day, because of the abundance of natural light that floods into the modern dining room through large windows on two sides.
The brunch menu changes quite a bit, but I always get the LaMama breakfast, which is a breakfast board with a little bit of this and that—things like olives, feta, eggs, yogurt, toast, nuts, and fruit—or The Cypriot, which is sunny-side up eggs, halloumi, sausage, peppers, and roasted tomato, because I just can’t get enough halloumi in my life. Another really nice touch is that the creamer for coffee has cardamom in it, which makes a morning there that much more special.
