Food could be better. Decent place with good people. Food was the low point, it could have been more flavorful and better tasting.

Dropped in about 11:45 on a Saturday morning. The receptionist (young) was sitting down so wasn't sure she worked there. Took me outside to a nice table with a view & offered a heat lamp, which was thoughtful on a cool winter morning. No physical menu, but easy to access the online version. My waiter (Asaf) was prompt and efficient. I asked his name & he asked mine AND remembered it! My omelet, meatlover's, was generous portion with country potatoes and rye toast was pretty tasty, although it got cold quickly, from being outdoors-- consider that. Hot water came promptly plus an extra carafe. It's a peaceful setting & I paid $29 including tip. Next time will pay a visit during 'Happy Hour.' Worth a visit! Kirt :)

First of all I have nothing to complain about breakfast/brunch food is good.
On Valentine’s Day I made reservation to take my family for dinner since it was my daughter’s birthday as well. What Really got me off guard was that the staff did not mention that they would only have a selected menu which was just a few selections, expensive, small amounts, red spaghetti Sauce was watery. We had to pay for bread $10 for four piece. The table was not ready when we got there. It did not had utensils, we had to ask for them. A family member had to wait 40 min for his plate, the rest were almost done eating. We did not enjoyed it at all, they didn’t even asked how was the food. I do not recommend going for dinner. Very unhappy.

This place is great! It’s really a hidden gem but maaan I tell ya it’s good! The staff is nice and I love sitting outdoors to eat! The meat lovers omelette is the best ever. My only issue is the breakfast potatoes is Tooooo salty and on my second visit I asked my server could I have my potatoes without all the seasoning and she said they are already made like that so that was a bit of a downer. You definitely gotta give this place a try and the blue mimosa is yummy!

My friend and I had lunch there last weekend and sat outside. My Crab Benedict had a very off flavor to it, the English muffin was soggy and the tomato was old. I ate half of it and then just couldn’t eat anymore and complained. The server did take half off my bill The next day I see three charges on my credit card. My friend and I had split the bill so there should’ve been one charge. They were all pending so I waited till today. I noe see that all three charges went through. This is just absolutely fraudulent. I will never go there again after this. They charged me $100 which was the full bill for both of us and then they charged me two times $50 for half the bill, so three charges totaling over $200 when the bill should’ve been $50 for my half. And my friend also got charged for her half. Disputed all three charges and will definitely take the tip off.

My sister and I chose this place for weekend brunch and coffee and it is a 10 out of 10. The waitress was friendly, accommodating and poured our coffee like clockwork work.

Seemed rather cold & unorganized, got our garlic bread, (that we wanted with salad & dinner) as we asked for our bill to go! Just a frustrating dinner when you have to constantly look around to find your waiter for simple items we should not have to track down.

Our family met up there and we all live in different places. We asked for separate checks and were told we could. I asked for mine when I was ready to leave and had to stay an extra hour for everyone to be done because they refused to separate the checks. They didn’t serve the food at the same time. I waited a half hour to get my food after my husband got his. One couple at our table didn’t get their food for an hour after I even was served. So people who were not served had to watch people eat. Getting home is a four hour drive for me. When I asked for a separate check I asked for reason. I should be able to eat and pay for my food and leave when I’m ready. I have responsibilities at home and this wait staff made it inconvenient ! I have special needs kids at home and I needed to leave when I asked for my check. If you are from out of town and trying to get breakfast before getting on the road this isn’t the place.

Food was okay. Service was rather slow, especially since it was Sunday brunch & we had made reservations for our party of 8. There was another large party scheduled shortly after us, so I was surprised at the minimal staffing. Also, my husband has mobility issues & cannot stand for long. The server told us to sit on the benches outside while waiting for our party (we were early), which were down the stairs, had no back support nor side arms. Not very accommodating or sympathetic.

Parking: Very limited parking in lot, with only one handicapped spot. One spot was blocked off for some reason.
