Thanks to an online coupon, Country Girl and I checked out a new place in Fremont called Hunger. To sum it up, incredibly impressed and highly recommended even factoring in the terrible parking situation that is Fremont.
The decor in Hunger was simplistic and inviting. One wall is nearly entirely composed of massive windows allowing in lots of light. They also have a neat curved bar situated near the middle of the restaurant.
The food in a word? Fantastic. Country Girl had the croque madame while I had the steak and eggs. Both were full of flavor and darn near perfect. The harissa sauce that came on the steak was flat out amazing. As impressive as the food is, the smiles didn't stop there.
The coupon included "bottomless mimosas" which I hoped meant they gave you pitcher to start and would perhaps grudgingly refill it once after we made a stink. Quite wrong, I was. I noticed several patrons had mimosas in standard (tiny) champagne glasses when we being seated. Didn't like our chances of getting regular refills at that point. As it turns out, our server couldn't have done a better job bringing fresh drinks. He came by time and again asking whether we'd like more. At one point, another server who was just passing our table must have noticed we were running low and asked if we'd like a couple more. Even after we finished our meal, our server was still on it with the fresh drinks. Very, very impressed with the attentive service. Do yourself a favor, eat at Hunger.
