I had been reading so many great reviews about Milkweed, so I decided to give it a try. We didn't need any reservations, and we were seated fairly quick. My first impression was disappointment. From the pictures on the website, and on Yelp and Google I thought the place would be more spacious. The place is really cramped. I didn't want to take any pictures of the inside, because it was so crowded, and I didn't want to annoy people taking pictures of the inside of the place. Needless to say, it is very cramped. Especially at lunch time, which is when I went, you're right on top of people. Also, there's no AC. They could really use a fly exterminator, because there seemed to be an abundance of them. So right off the bat, I must say I was a little disappointed. It's very noisy in there as well, because you're so cramped. Don't expect to have a quiet brunch. We went on a weekday afternoon at 11:00, thinking that would be a good time to have brunch, but the place was packed. I figured that the food would make up for the disappointment I felt at the ambience of the place. The aesthetics were just okay, but it didn't look like the pictures on the website. The biggest problem was the amount of flies that you had the bat away from your food. It made any expectation of an enjoyable meal moot. I was expecting dynamite food because the place was so full. We started off with coffee, and two appetizers. I got the peaches and ricotta $12), and my guest ordered the cream filled donuts $7). The ricotta wasn't sweetened, but the peaches were sort of there to add some sort of sweetness. I ended up having to put sugar on it to make it taste like a confection for the toast 4 half slices)????. The cream filled donuts were very good, and they paired well with the weak coffee. They had lemon shavings on them with cream inside. I would get the donuts again, but not the peaches. For our entrees, I ordered the short rib omelette $16), and my guest ordered the steak and egg ranchero
