UUYE Brunch @ Tuli Bistro

This is a review for our UYE coordinated by Devo.…sadly not a review of the food or Tuli’s Bistro! Three cheers for Devo coordinating, organizing, reaching out and overall making our annual UYE brunch happen!!! We always for get how much work goes into planning events, and Devo did it with a breeze and class!
Bottomless Mimiosas, Great Unilocalers/​Friends, Hilarious conversations equals a fabulous time. Though the food was not on point, our server seemed a bit bothered and grumpy, service was slow.. .we made use of our Sunday morning enjoying good company.
Can’t wait until the next UYE, Thanks again Ms. Devo!

Yay! I’m a fan of UUYE (UNOFFICIAL unofficial Unilocal event) Brunch.
I’m a fan of bottomless mimosas. I’m not a fan of being charged for a single mimosa while waiting for a table, then getting charged for the bottomless when finally seated.
I’m a fan of «the Runner» breakfast pizza ($ 16). I’m not a fan of the sweet gravy that topped the crunchy Smart chicken breast on the Southern breakfast.
I’m a fan of service with a smile. I’m not a fan of our server poking one of us to get her attention (yes-​POKING!!!).
I’m a fan of spending a couple hours with great company on a beautiful weekend morning. I’m not a fan of waiting an hour for our food, then being told that it was because their nice brick oven was on the fritz.
So I’m not so much a fan of Tuli Bistro as I am a fan of Devo S. She’s the UYE Brunch organizer-​extraordinare. She makes a 3 star brunch into a 5 star experience!

Major kudos to Devo for pulling together another great UYE! I love Unilocal,I love brunch so what better way to spend a Sunday than combining things I love?
Devo took care of all the details and kept everyone informed of what to expect and when to arrive. We didn’t have to wait too long to be seated and the guava mimosas served while we waited definitely helped.
We were seated on the patio and had a small section all to ourselves. The food took a while to arrive but I had a blast reminiscing about old school toys. Honestly, I feel bad for all the kids today who want iPads. Etch a sketch, shrinky dinks and pound puppies is where it’s at.
Thankfully Unilocalers are some pretty generous people and they let me sample all of their food. Todd’s breakfast pizza was probably my favorite and I still regret not stealing any frittata. My fried chicken was pretty good and I’m glad I got to try a place I haven’t been before.
Ever the hostess with the mostess Devo even had party favors for everyone. Can’t wait to try use my Vampire Penguin gift card! I’m looking forward to many more brunches in the future.

Ok, as an event where I got to hang out with a bunch of great folks on a beautiful Sunday morning, this was mos’ def’ a 5-​star occurence.
Many thanks to: Frankie, Carol, DC, Kali, Preston, Dominique, Donovan, and Todd for being excellent table-​mates and sharing in the Tuli Bistro brunch experience.
Hey, if nothing else, at least the bottomless mimosas were good and hardly ever empty (apparently Preston drinks like a fish, ha!). Side note: All the GUYS in our group opted for the PINK guave mimosas… they are all very comfortable in their masculinity :)
Yes, it was a tad expensive, but we’ll rectify that by having our next UUYE Brunch at Evan’s Kitchen at 10am on Saturday, February 1. Never been there myself, but since everyone else who attended our little Tuli brunch highly recommends Evan’s, then it’s there we will go. Can’t wait, y’all!
