5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

i was really impressed. the food was a good twist on standards, albeit the menu was limited for brunch. the fruit smoothies were good too, and the eggs loose which is a rare but simple treat to implement in a restaurant. i went to foreign cinema which is in the same neighborhood...the food at foreign was definitely better (by a small margin), but the cost of universal made it more of an every weekend brunch joint. the only issue was the insane wait.

Pros: tasty brunch, good twist on standard fares, good prices

Cons: long waits, cruddy neighborhood with nothing else around
