Oh what an impromptu gathering and fortuitous to stumble upon Ol'Days! Their website shows two locations "Miami" and "Buenos Aires". Nice! We were looking for many places to have a a mid-Sunday afternoon lunch in the Wynwood/Midtown area when my friend Marilu found this intriguing farm to table concept! So onward we met up here about 3pm-ish, the weather and wind sublime, we opted to sit outside under the large sunshade umbrellas. Beautiful comfortable garden-like decor, along with outdoor self-seating. We waited very little for the table to be cleared off and cleaned, and I scanned the QR code to view the menu online. Great looking food, love the healthy concept and knew this was going to be a really good Sunday time. Of course they provided paper menus as well as hand sanitizer, but for the most part I opted to look at the menu on the phone.
Our waitress, Gabriella, was amazingly nice, informative, took time to talk to genuinely talk to us (all while wearing a mask) and kept engaging with us throughout the dining experience. Loved it.
Of course we came for the food and was intrigued by all the healthy fare on the menu especially the all day Brunch option. Hey I like this! Perhaps might try another day, but that surely inspired us to order a glass of Mimosas to toast at this epic gathering after 15 months hiatus due to the pandemic. LOL It was a nice treat especially since the area had cleared out the bustling lunch crowd lending to a more relaxing vibe in between a small handful of cars/
Onto the food!
So we did ask Gabriella about having a glass of Mimosa to which she said were available and was tasty so we each got a glass and happily toasted! It did taste good. Later on, I did follow up with a glass of prosecco, of course sharing a small amount in the mimosa glass. Sharing is what it's all about!
Marilu ordered the Fajitas Rancheras: Whole wheat tortilla, cheese, roasted chicken on whole wheat pita bread with avocado and parmesan cheese and oh boy did they bring four bountiful pieces! Definitely come with an attacking appetite like she did ;) or just enjoy what you can and box the rest.
I ordered from their 'All Day Breakfast - Any Style Eggs' section and requested two poached eggs in a cast-iron skillet, resting on the plate of their additional add-on smoked salmon. The salmon super soft and sprinkled with sesame seeds (II opted to remove the seeds). The plate also served with country potatoes and bread, the potatoes were colorfully wonderful, cut into smaller bite sizes and soft to chew. Much apppreciated. The bread, had a nice heft to it. Ate half of these. Now to get to the poached eggs, which I believe I had waited a little too long to attack because pictures must be taken! But the poached eggs had already begun to solidify inside, yielding very little runny good stuff. But all was ok! The sauce on the outisde along with the smoked salmon did help make up for it. The taste was still all there! So for this reason I mainly could not give it a complete 5 stars but felt it should be there. This is a really nice place
Dessert time: To help decide, Gabriella mentioned going inside to look at the various desserts to which Marilu did and found the Lemon Pound cake delightful and opted to order it. Happily in 7th heaven, she savored every moment of it especially the icing on top. Hey even the little bird (finch?) quickly attacked a crumb that fell to the floor. You could even say that both the bird and Marilu took some back home as well, LOL :)
Paying for the bill was a breeze (no pun intended as it was a nice breezy day) which Gabriella had the processing machine right next to her. Oh and also forgot to mention, during our dining experience we were not rushed at all. Not at all and was even able to stay a short while after paying to enjoy the ambiance and passers by with their dogs and what nots. I'll definitely be back again! This place deserves 5 stars for sure, my experience was almost almost there.
