Birthday Brunch

Erin, Connor, Jay, and I all have August birthdays and I decided it would be fun to do brunch at Commander's this year.  (Jay has to share it vicariously).  The 21st (Erin's) fell on a Sunday, so we celebrated "one for all and all for one".  Unfortunately that didn't hold true for the price.  We were seated in the Garden Room, which I love and Connor was introduced to fine dining.  Everytime he popped out of his seat to take a picture, the waiter would hurry over and refold his napkin. He ordered his own meal off the big menu although Jerry did try and encourage him to get a child's menu. 

Everyone had three choices, the appetizer, the entree and the dessert.  Erin ordered the cajun eggs benedict which looked really good, I ordered the gumbo, Connor got the fruit that you see in the picture, and Jerry ordered a salad.  The three adults ordered shrimp and grits for the entree, and Connor ordered the wahoo of which he ate every bite.

I really love Commander's, and it was a special treat to go for our birthdays. The food, the music (jazz brunch) and the overall ambience made it a perfect way to celebrate birthdays. 
On the way home, Connor took a picture of Emeril's - maybe that is where we will go next year!
