Affronti

Healdsburg, CA

We met up with friends for brunch on Sunday morning at Affronti, a block down from Hotel Healdsburg where we stayed. The menu contained a variety of options and prices were very reasonable. I would later learn that this was probably because the serving sizes were very small. Chu-Toro went with sweet potato and hash, served in a small three inch diameter ramekin. We were kind of taken back by how small it was, but the flavor was good and the dish unique. However, we just couldn't get over the fact how small it was. I went with the wine poached egg florentine, which was also solid, but again a very small serving. A single poached egg atop a half of an English muffin.  Everyone seemed to enjoy their items, although all were equally small. We had a great time with our friends, and the food tasted good, but I was still hungry by the end of the meal.
