Fantastic space post renovation. As a single I have not had to wait even at noon on Saturday. Everything is good. The mushroom scramble stands out as does the French toast. Love this place!

Plain Jane's menu selection was very appealing! My husband was searching for brunch spots Saturday morning on Yelp and we quickly headed over and arrived around 11:30am. Line is first come first serve so there wasn't a waitlist. There was maybe 2-3 parties of head of us and it went by fairly quickly. Waited maybe 15 minutes and was promptly seated inside. Lovely ambience, tall ceilings with large windows and decorated fairly bright and fun. Residential street parking available. Took me 1 circle around the neighborhood and found parking a block away fairly quickly. Service was prompt and friendly, and the food we ordered was tasty: 1x New England Lobster Roll with a side of sweet potato fries (extra cost), and coleslaw 1x New England Lobster Scramble with toast 1x iced Pistachio latte (mild in flavor) 1x iced lavender latte Would be very interested in coming back to try other items, especially their fried chicken and waffles! Looked absolutely banging.

We loved our experience here. Food (Benedict/Scramble) came with perfectly crispy potato pieces and a generous amount of protein. The flavors were spot on, and the bread was perfectly toasted and buttered. Service was great. We were seated right away at a table of our liking.

Plain Jane is anything but plain! Lots of brunch options, flavorful and creative food - loved the chive pancakes! I tried a Hawaiian mimosa but wasn't a fan and they kindly let me trade it out for a regular mimosa. Highly recommend!

Was so excited when Plain Jane reopened! Went on a weekday for brunch with my coworkers. Seated in a cozy corner next to the front window. The food was delicious. My favorite being the crispy potatoes and french toast from the sweet flight.

Went here brunch on a sunday at 10:30 with a party of 4! No wait when we got there which was surprising! Ambiance- cute , modern, very clean. Had no issues with actual place itself, enough space between other costumers/ tables Food/drink- we gad the mimosa carafe which gave us 4 glasses (so if you have more than 1 mimosa for sure get the carafe. We had peach flavor which was HELLA good for no reason! I had the lobster scramble - 10/10 and oh my lord so delicious. Cheesy, buttery, and DID NOT SKIMP ON LOBSTER. Definitely worth the price. I added some pepper and salt for sure because they origionally didnt season much but SUPER DELICIOUS. Smoked Duck breast hash - 8/10, really good, duck was smoked super delicious, a little dry however. Also my boyfreind doesnt like his eggs runny and thats how they come so make sure to request otherwise if you dont like runny eggs Shrimp grits w sausage- my friend said 9/10 very good, but grits could add a little more seasoning/flavor itself I will say- serves are a bit pushy with getting you out of there and also don't let you sit unless full party is there. All i would say to improve would be staff a bit more patient especially when we are still eating , and they ask of they can start taking plates ! Otherwise great brunch spot with unusual flavors that you definitely wont find at other resturants

THE WAIT None at 11am on Saturday, December 23. There was never a wait the whole time we were there (til about 2pm); probably because of the proximity to the holiday. THE COST $83.10 total including tax/tip for 2.5 brunch entrees and half a mimosa carafe. * Watermelon Mimosa Carafe ($28) - 3.5 stars Mostly prosecco with an essence of watermelon, we enjoyed it but don't get this for an artisanal drink. They did bring us a peach mimosa on accident at first, which we had already poured into our cups. They replaced the carafe, but we got a free drink out of it! * PJ's Sweet Flight ($25) - 4.5 stars Great way to taste the sweet items. The Custard French Toast is an easy 5 stars, the pancakes 4 stars. Love that it came with plenty of fruit. * Fried Chicken & Belgian Waffle ($24) - 3.5 stars Tasty chicken and waffle, but the chicken portion was pretty meager and there were two pretty out-of-place scoops of guacamole on it (flavor clash). * Coastal Benedict ($31) - 3.5 stars Lovely potatoes, eggs, & sauce. The seafood wasn't as fresh; the shrimp was quite dry, as was the crab (which was quite lumpy). My friend got the Another Club and really enjoyed it.

Plain Jane was so so delicious. Arrived on a long weekend Monday around 11:30am and waited for about 10 minutes for a table to be seated outside. They had plenty of heaters outside so it wasn't too chilly. I ordered the Coastal Benedict after a lot of deliberation of whether I should splurge on seafood, and it was worth every penny. My plate was loaded with Dungeness crab meat and shrimp, and the flavors meshed so well with the yolky and saucy poached egg. The potatoes were also perfect and crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Big portion and delicious! Had a bite of the chive pancake as well, which I thought was unique as it's not often that there are savory pancake options. Very tasty. My friends ordered a mimosa carafe which was heavy on the champagne, which is fun if that's the type of brunch vibe you're looking for! I sipped on a red velvet latte, which was bright and vibrantly colored and tasted like liquid dessert in a cup. Great meal and great experience!

4.5/5 Frisco omelette: 3.5/5 all the ingredients tasted fresh. It was a standard omelette, nothing extremely surprising. The crispy potatoes were more crispy than I expected, but I'm unsure if I'm a fan of the potatoes. PJ's monte cristo: 5/5: never had anything like it before and I loved it. It was both savory and sweet and would come back for this dish. The salad we got as a side was also great! The food was overall delicious and fresh! Service was attentive and friendly. I would recommend plain jane for brunch.
