Nancy's Take:
Atmosphere: * * * 1/2
We arrived around noon and the waitress asked if we planned just to drink. At that moment I knew I had come to the right place. The World Cup games were being screened in the front room, so we went to the back area, which was secluded enough to act as a separate room. The waitress was polite, and our drinks and food arrived very promptly.

I ordered the Huevos Rancheros. If you like salsa, you would definitely have enjoyed this version, as it was served with a generous helping on top. I don't remember enough to describe the taste, because I shoveled the whole thing into my mouth in about 5 minutes. I'd say that's a sign that it was delicious.
Drinks: * * *
Drink #1 - Bloody Mary
Taste: Definitely approved. Nice and spicy.
Size: Small glass
Garnishes: served with a celery stalk.
Drink #2 - Bellini
Taste: It was good but could have been better. Their motto is "Stiff Drinks, Great Eats," so I would have expected there to be a bit more sparkling wine in the drink. The peach juice (to me) tasted almost like orange juice.
Size: Small glass, the most disappointing part.
Garnishes: None, doesn't need any!
Becca's Take:
Atmosphere: * * *
I like Nita Nita because of its cozy backyard - but sadly - it was nearly 100 degrees when we brunched, so even though the interior "decorating" of Nita Nita leaves something to be desired, the air conditioning unit might as well have been an original Picasso on the wall - pure genius. Luckily, the layout of the restaurant lets the bar crowd do their rowdy thing up front, while us posh, very lady-like diners can enjoy our brunch in the peace and quiet of the back area.

For the first time in Summer Of Brunch history, I stepped outside of the omelette box and dove straight into a carby pool of pecan-infused maple syrup. (You would've done the same!) But, I wanted a little protein, so I ordered a side of scrambled eggs. The side items at Nita Nita are one of my favorite parts about brunch here. You can get eggs, bacon and a bunch of other small-plate breakfast favorites for only $3, so whatever you're in the mood for can be easily obtained, even if not included in your entree. But back to my french toast. It was made with thick-cut sourdough bread and topped with pecan maple syurp and whipped cream. It was cooked to perfection and came out much faster than I expected. I was more than pleased.

I see a Bellini, I drink a Bellini. It was very refreshing on a hot day, and had a smooth flavor going down. It could've been a little "peachier" and a lot bigger, as Nancy said, but it definitely wasn't hard to drink. It was so above mediocre that I had two!
