Sunday brunch at BC Bistro was extraordinary. As we walked in we noticed a guitar player and we were concerned about noise level. However, we were immediately offered a table in the back. The guitar music turned out to be excellent. The food was great. We had mimosa's to start , crab cakes benedict and waffles and chicken. It was delicious. I can't wait to come back. Added noted, we sat for a very long time and the staff was extremely kind...from the busboy to the manager. It was really such a pleasure.
