South End brunch comes to Roslindale

Geoffrey's Cafe on Washington Street opened for brunch yesterday (the Rosi-Kessels were the very first customers), so we made a point of heading down to the Square this morning.
Good food and so, so different from what long-time Rozzie residents could expect from breakfast at the old Roslindale standby - the Blue Star on Corinth. And yes, it's the same Geoffrey's that used to be in the South End and Back Bay.

Dan Housman reports that Gari, a new Japanese "fusion" place on Harvard Street in Brookline, is decent enough, but it's really just another Japanese restaurant:

Where not to go for brunch in Dedham
If you want your basic all-you-can-eat Sunday brunch buffet, just stay away from the Olde Irish Alehouse. For $5 more per person and five minutes more on the road, you can get to Picadilly Pub, which has way, way, way more selections, French toast that is actually warm and decent service.
