New Brunch Spot Opens In Orange

ORANGE, CT — Genesis Brunch & Co. is now open at 501 Boston Post Road in Orange. The restaurant held a grand opening and ribbon cutting Saturday, according to the Amity Chamber of Commerce.

The establishment is owned by Erica Mcqueen, who also co-owns Queen's Delight Cafe in Bridgeport.

"Today we celebrate new beginnings, beautiful moments, great food, amazing drinks, and the beginning of something special," Mcqueen said in a statement. " To everyone who supported, encouraged, prayed, shared a post, showed up, or helped bring Genesis to life, thank you!"

Mcqueen is "reinventing" traditional brunch favorites from dishes like steak and eggs with rib eye steak to croissant pizza with a garlic crust drizzled in truffle oil, according to the statement.

Other menu highlights include strawberry cheesecake, a salmon BLT, brunch burgers and crispy chicken and pancakes.

The renovated space includes a bar, dining rooms, an outdoor patio, a photo booth and private booth seating.

"Erica's incredible and creative culinary skills offer a diverse menu that is committed to tantalizing every taste bud," Amity Chamber CEO Barry Lee Cohen said in a statement. "The opening of Genesis Brunch is a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit that marks a genesis --a new beginning-- for Erica and a delightful dining experience for family gatherings, business meetings, and celebrations large and small."
