For four years now, locals have been regaling about " Paulettes" even adding that it was featured in Tom Cruise's movie, " The Firm" which made it that more intriguing. And so, when my Father's Day plans for brunch at the Peabody was dampened due to my husbands' work schedule, I decided to take my chances and make a reservation. Fully aware, it would be almost impossible to find a reservation anywhere the morning of, I decided to call at 7:30, although the restaurant itself does not open until 10. Luckily, the hostess picked up and informed us of a cancelation at 11. Now, it was matter of Chafeek finishing rounding in time enough and not receiving any consults. At 10:30 am, as I was getting Layth ready and finishing applying my makeup, Chafeek comes walking in through the front door asking me what are the plans. I told him, " we're headed to Paulettes, no questions asked." It also helped that they recently relocated to Harbor Town, making it just five minutes away. He agreed, and quickly changed out of his scrubs. And then, when I thought we were ready to head out, his pager went off, making me so nervous it was a consult. Thankfully, it was not urgent.
Upon arriving at Paulettes, in separate cars of course should he summoned to the hospital, Layth and I would not be stranded. Thankfully, the restaurant was not busy. Immediately, we took our seats, and Layth grabbed his book and we were set to order. Taking Chafeek's advice and ordering the " Eggs Oscar with the French Onion Soup," we were ready to dine. And I must admit, his choice was exquisite! Even Layth could not stop himself from wanting more. I did not think poached eggs on an English Muffin with crab meat would appeal to a 23 month old, but his appetite proved otherwise! It then came time dessert and immediately I knew what I wanted, the cranberry and chocolate bread pudding ( a Father's Day special). And within a few bites, it was gone proving the rumors about Paulettes to be true: AMAZING!!
