Tart

"One of the great rookie dating mistakes is planning everything only at night. Day dates can be extremely successful, especially when you don’t want to burn an entire Saturday night on a guy who has “Breathe. Love. Burning Man” as his dating bio. Tart is a fantastic afternoon option because it’s almost entirely outdoors, the food isn’t going to offend you, and those alcoholic punch bowls will undo both of your insecurities. If your date suggests you both jump in the pool to take advantage of getting your meal half-off, at least you’ll know at that point it’ll never work." - brant cox

"Can you even post a photo of you at brunch on social media if there isn’t a pool in the back? That’s why there’s Tart - the standard-bearer for all things rowdy poolside brunch. Technically the ground-floor restaurant of The Farmer’s Daughter hotel on Fairfax, Tart’s menu has everything from scrambles to salads to a breakfast lasagna that’s definitely worth checking out. Not to mention their massive punch bowls that aren’t lacking in alcohol content. Related: If you jump if the pool with your clothes on, your meal is 50% off." - jess basser sanders, amy clark, brant cox

"COVID-19 Update: Open for takeout and delivery. Nestled in the interior patio of the Farmer's Daughter Hotel, TART's poolside patio feels completely isolated from crowded, stress-inducing The Grove directly across the street. This often-overlooked spot serves up Southern-inspired food including buttermilk-fried chicken and waffles (in the perfect proportion) and a respectable shrimp and grits dish. Their punch bowls, which come in a variety of freakishly potent flavors, are a great deal for bigger groups. While we can't confirm from personal experience, we've heard that brave souls who jump into the pool (clothes on) after brunch get their meal for half off.

"Tart celebrates the weekend in the best way by offering frosé Friday through Sunday, only from noon to 5 p.m." - Crystal Coser
