My husband said it was “pretty good”, which is his standard response to food. It’s a spectacular-looking dish, with a big fluffy “cloud” of egg-white literally on top of the toast. The Egg In A Cloud did not disappoint visually. We entertained Cheese with our trusty iPhones and the sugar bowl while we waited. Our served warned us that our dishes would take 10 minutes to cook, which I thought was very thoughtful of him. They were also happy to make something like a single scrambled egg for her if we wanted. We weren’t sure if Cheese would eat off either of our plates since she wasn’t feeling the best that day, so we ordered her her own, especially made, single pancake, since there wasn’t a kids menu. We ordered the aforementioned Egg In A Cloud for my husband (the omnivore), and the Egg Toast ($12 -baked egg over melted fontina cheese, toasted brioche, truffle oil and asparagus) for me. Once we had the menu situation sorted out, our server became aware of us, and things ran much more smoothly. As an FYI to restaurants-rule number one when people come in with a baby or toddler is to help them get in and out as fast as possible! This makes for happy families and happy diners surrounding those families. After grabbing a nearby staff member, I managed to procure the menus, but things were not off to a good beginning. The hostess sat us down without menus, so no one came to serve us. When we had woken up on that particular day, rain was pelting down outside, so we chose the restaurant AlMar mainly because of its location (we knew we could get there via the handy F line, without getting too drenched.) We were also interested in checking out a dish there that I’d read about: the dreamy-sounding Egg In A Cloud dish (baked egg yolk floating on whipped egg whites, fontina cheese, smoked ham, toasted brioche, served with sauteed spinach, $12).
Most eateries, bars and shops are either on or near this main artery, making it a good way to get in brunch, candy, and a drink at a bar all without leaving a single block radius.
(Ditto for Water Street, which is not on the water, but that’s another story). In the heart of DUMBO lies Front Street-which is somewhat confusingly located a few streets back from the waterfront.
