Why, oh why, did I wait so long to try the Living Room Restaurant in Dunedin? There is not any particular reason, other than it is a bit of a drive for me because I certainly had a mostly lovely experience dining there for Saturday brunch. I arrived there a bit early with my family, so the place was still wide open and we were able to pick a choice spot in the dining room where we could have a good view of both rooms. I ordered a spicy Bloody Mary and then looked over the menu. We decided to try Roy's Brunch Reuben, the Brunch Burger, and the Henny and Johnny, which is a fried cornish hen served with cornmeal pancakes and one egg.
My Bloody Mary was just the way I liked it and it was not much of a wait for food. First, the Henny and Johnny. I was very happy with my cornmeal pancakes and egg, but the cornish hen had no flavor and I think some basic salt and pepper would have made quite a difference there. So, moist hen and nice crunchy coating, but ruined by a lack of seasoning. Luckily, the rest of the meal was very enjoyable. I loved the burger, but the reuben was my favorite and more than made up for the cornish hen. I have to say I liked the friendly service there and the atmosphere, too. One negative, but more than enough positives would make me want to go back more often, if only it were closer.
