Don’t look at the photos of a menu on here, they got rid of that a month ago.

Now they just have $15 egg sandwiches. I went to Buttercup around the corner instead.

$15 for this super basic breakfast sandwich? Absolutely criminal - the owner should be ashamed of themselves. It was disgusting too, pretty sure they made it in the microwave - couldn't even be bothered to put the English muffins in a toaster.

Every time I TRY to dine here it’s an immediate fail (twice). Why does it take 5-15 minutes to take my order?. Currently sitting at the bar and the waitress tells me I won’t be serviced for a couple minutes. At this point I’m just killing time typing this message. I miss the mini cafe on the other side when I could walk in, grab a coffee and go. Whether it’s during the day or late at night the servers do everything except serve customers. I hear complaints from others when I sit here. Unless you can wait an hour to order, don’t bother.

I was nervous at first with some of the reviews but the breakfast was excellent. My kids had an omelette and the sticky bun French toast. They loved it and my daughter is picky. I had the short rib hash skillet and it was great, as well.

Pros:
Beautiful location . Right in front of caffe there Was Christmas tree. Area around is just amazing . Service was great . Manager is super nice . There was fire place outside . Caffe was basicaly empty for dinner time and happy hour . Few people .
Cons:
Food was not good . Fries half of them were cold. And half were hot . Looked like they mixed yesterday and today Batch. Brussels sprouts were sugary, Cesar salad was too salty. White wine was awful . It was complimentary from
Hotel we stayed in but still it doesn’t have to be so bad .
There was something strange going with our 20% discount from being Hyatt member. Manager said it’s only for caffe but we are in restaurant . When I asked if it’s the same building he says yea but caffe it’s more for take
Out . I am still bewildered . It says clearly on my account when I booked that we have 20% discount in Waterfront caffe on drinks and food ( my drink was not discounted) . So I am not sure what he meant at all . He finaly gave me this discount . But we felt funny about this explanation .
Area outside when we came back in the morning was left very dirty. There were smashed beer cans , papers and leftover of food on a floor .
The worst part was that we all , 2 adults and a 2 year old got very upset stomachs . There is no mistake we had it from This place. We ate dinner and next day we were all sick. Terrible cramps and nauseous and diareah .

I would say that the crew here is adorable and friendly! Give them a chance.They are not polished as the interior and menú suggest, but they are good.The breakfast burrito we got could (in my opinion) feed three adults; pancakes were three and can feel again three adults. They served granola on a plate and, in their authentic way, decided not to mix it orLayer it, which I found an interesting way of serving. Their coffee is very good.We had to wait for our order for about 30-35 mins but overall it was an okay experience and the best option we had.So again, give this guys a chance to growth into their business and develop this area into something

Super friendly service and they upgraded me simply because it was Christmas. The ocean view was spectacular and shopping and coffee shops right outside the door.

first i was so excited to be able to stay here but that changed quickly. i was excited to be able to check in early well that is because the hotel has gone so far down hill since i was last here. the valet park cars in the disabled spots and charge you $35 to park in one even though you have a placard. No disabled rooms were available so we had to take a regular room and the toilet is so low my husband must help me up each time. the rooms are not very clean and the carpet is very old and dingy. i do love the dcor though. the slidding glass doors to the patio were unlocked which could allow someone to break into the room. i will at over $300 for the night i will not be back.

Great place with very nice people! I recommend for a breakfast on the go or a nice walk alongside the pier.
