Nana

We went to breakfast at Nana in Bridgeport.  It has been featured on Diners, Drive ins and Dives and Check Please and has only been open for 3 years.  They don't open until 9 am so it really is more of a breakfast/brunch and they also serve lunch and dinner. We decided to go with both a savory and a sweet dish for our breakfast.

Savory option:
Biscuits and Duck Gravy
Biscuits and Duck Gravy - 2 eggs any style (we had over hard), 2 smoked cheddar biscuits, duck gravy, duck ragout, spring onions and corn. The biscuits were a bit dense, but that was good so that they didn't fall apart easily with all of the other ingredients.  With some bites the gravy was a bit salty.  But, the duck elevated the traditional biscuits and gravy to another level. Overall it was very rich in a savory sort of way.

Sweet option:
Lemon Pound Cake French toast - with whipped cream, chocolate mousse and peaches.  This was practically a dessert.  This was definitely at the other end of the spectrum with taste and richness versus the biscuits and gravy. It was great to be able to sample both of these breakfast items - they were a good balance for each other since they were both rich meals in different ways.

Final thoughts on Nana:
Lemon Pound Cake French Toast
Food - it was different than any other breakfast place we have been to recently because it was fresh, clean, and not overly heavy.  Compared to other Diners, Drive ins and Dives picks this seems a bit more upscale, especially for the neighborhood.
Service - it was ok, there was one server for lots of tables.  We waited a bit to order but the food came out relatively quickly.
Atmosphere - had a lot of original artwork on the walls, we got their right when the place opened and were okay but it definitely got hopping as we were leaving.
