Four Chairs' brunch is worth the wait

The third time's the charm, as they say.

Driving the news: I finally ate at Four Chairs after two failed dining attempts — due to various reasons — at the hyped-up brunch spot in the Mission/Bernal Heights area.

Dig in: I ordered the Chipotle Benedict, packed with a spicy chicken chorizo, avocado, jalapeño and chipotle hollandaise.

• It certainly had a kick to it — spicy enough to clear my sinuses but not so spicy that it made me sweat.
• My wife ordered the mascarpone pancake, served with banana, berries, whipped mascarpone and maple syrup. I tried some, obviously, and they were perfectly fluffy and not too sweet

The bottom line: Four Chairs is certainly the best brunch spot in this part of the city, and it definitely makes my all-time favorite brunch spots in the city list, which includes Plow in Potrero Hill and Mymy in Nob Hill.

Before you go: Snag your spot online on the waitlist via Yelp if you're dining on the weekend.

• Or, call to make a reservation if you want to dine during the week.
