Break the Fast
The meal at the end of the fast, served in the neighborhood.
Why this room suits a break-fast
A break-fast wants breakfast food served in the evening, which is an awkward request almost anywhere — except in a restaurant that serves a full breakfast menu every day and has the whole station already set up.
Eggs, smoked salmon, potato pancakes with sour cream, toast, coffee: all of it is standing equipment here rather than a special order. That is the practical reason Commissary has been able to run this service properly.
Booking
Break-fast is a fixed-time meal — everyone arrives at once, after sundown. Reservations matter more than usual, and the restaurant has taken them by phone for this service.
