Sunday Funday Continues...at Brazen Head

After a full day of outdoor festivities - starting with an early morning round of golf with my brother at the Olympic Club, an afternoon of roofdecks and Blue Angels, and an evening celebrating a close friend's birthday (Happy Birthday, Liv!) - I forced myself to wind down the Sunday Funday and started the trek home. I thought 9pm was a more than respectable time to head home, put my feet up, enjoy a glass of wine, and mentally prepare myself for the week to come.

At least, that was the plan until Kelsey, Lapi, and I popped into Brazen Head for a glass of wine... a few minutes later, wine and a late dinner.

Brazen Head is a Cow Hollow establishment, serving food until 1am in a dark and cozy corner hideaway. Unsigned, they rely on local know-how and cater to the neighborhood with their BH Neighbor Card, only available to those who live within a block's radius of the restaurant.
The bar was full and the atmosphere boisterous, despite the hour. In terms of menu, the strategy is simple; they cling to classics and they execute. Caesar, French onion soup, filet (grass fed!), scampi. There is no reinvention here but if you want to swap your chicken marsala for veal and your piccata vice versa, go ahead and ask... the servers will work it out. You can split a variety of dishes two or three ways (we did). They are clearly looking for repeat customers.

Brazen Head won me over with its straightforwardness and vivacity. My strategy is simple as well; I adore my friends and love my food, and am always looking for the perfect place to combine the two. Who is up for another Sunday Funday at the Head?
