The Breakfast Venue with a Killer Menu
Need the perfect stocking stuffer? Nothing says "I want to treat you to something special!" like a gift certificate to Marston's Restaurant in the Bridgeport Marketplace. Marston's was voted "Best Breakfast in California" by Food Network Magazine with good reason; actually, make that delicious reason! The Works french toast is topped with fresh berries, candied pecans and whipped cream; underneath all that goodness are two thick slices of sourdough dipped in egg batter and rolled in corn flakes. Craving savory? Try the Ciabatta Breakfast Sandwich, two eggs, any style, served on ciabatta bread with bacon, spicy jack cheese and tomato served with special potatoes.
