"We came to this restaurant with high expectations it was glowingly recommended to us from a friend. Fortunately, it did not disappoint.We had brunch here, and the salmon eggs benedict on a croissant I had was flawless perfectly liquid oozing poached eggs and amazing hollandaise sauce were paired with smoked salmon all on a light and tasty croissant. Possibly the most satisfying Benedict brunch item I've ever had; definitely the best in recent memory.Every restaurant should have good food though, so good food alone is not enough to get 5 stars. You can see my rating, and this place gets 5 stars from me because I think the inventive and standout cocktails are what make this place special. I've included a picture of the cocktail menu for reference. While I think these drinks could use better names, they certainly deliver where it matters taste and overall enjoyment of drinking. I got the Lush, Airy, #FF0000, and the Pellucid.I started with the Lush, whose name really doesn't seem to fit the drink. The Lush is actually a brilliant combination of Mezcal and chilled coffee. It's also sweeter than the ingredients list suggests if you've ever had thai iced coffee with condensed milk, it's kind of like that, but was not excessively sweet like most thai iced coffees are. I've never encountered Mezcal and coffee in a cocktail before, but it makes sense if you think about it smokiness from the Mezcal combines well with deep coffee flavor, and this thing smelled GREAT.The second drink I got was the Airy again I think improperly named, because this was the weirdest **** Mary I've ever had. I encourage you to read the ingredients listed in my picture, and once you've finished reading your mental thought will be Wow that sounds like a strange drink (it also has unlisted thai chili powder thrown in as well). I personally don't like **** marys, but I ordered this out of morbid curiousity. I can't say I liked this cocktail, but I didn't dislike it either again, I don't like **** marys in general so I don't think this drink can be written off simply because it wasn't my thing. It was definitely a more interesting experience than most **** marys, and if you are a **** mary enthusiast I'm sure it's worth your time and money to give this one a shot, though it won’t change your mind about BMs if you already don’t like them.The third cocktail I had was the FF0000, which is a bitter style cocktail. I quite like bitter cocktails, and this one tasted great, although it was the least unique of the four drinks I got. I don't have much to say about it, other than if you like bitter style cocktails, you will enjoy this one.The final drink I had, the Pellucid, and I almost skipped it because I had already had three drinks. But it was the middle of the day, I didn't have to drive, and so I threw caution to the wind and ordered it to finish my stay at Chanson De Salon. Boy am I glad I did, because the Pellucid is an absolutely phenomenal drink. If you look at its ingredients, it's at its core a Gin Tonic, but it’s got Aloe Vera, Elderflower, and although it’s not listed I’m certain there’s some kind of cucumber flavor or essence in it. Unfortunately it’s the middle of March as I’m writing this, but I’m certain that on a hot summer day, the mere act of breathing in the scent of this drink would cool you down and refresh you. It really does smell that good, and so if you like Gin and Tonics you really owe it to yourself to try this drink out. If you DON’T like Gin and Tonics, this could actually wind up changing your mind about them, I think.In summary, come here if you want great cocktails with your meal. I didn’t have enough food to confidently say that most food items on the menu are amazing, but if they are of the quality of my brunch salmon eggs benedict, you won’t be disappointed with the food either."
