Wait staff is very pleasant. The owner is on-site most every shift, so there’s always a decision maker on the premises if you have any issues (which you shouldn’t). The setting is beautiful and if the weather is right make sure to sit outside. Go early, they fillup fast.

The coffee drinks were way too sweet. The breakfast was OK, they could give you a bigger plates. The French toast was good as well as the eggs. And the service was great.

I've reviewed well over 1,500 restaurants. From the newest awarded 3 Michelen Star restaurant (only 13 in the U.S.) to Diners. Listed with Google as the top 10% Restaurant Reviewr.It's extremely rare for me to submit a review without visiting 3 times. As a Chef, knowing that there may be a day of inconsistency. The food that I ordered and service had so many things wrong, I'll never return to Wild Iris Cafe again. Particularly since the sever told us the owner was there.Wild Iris Cafe is an adorable tiny place inside. Outside is the draw for diners with seating under the Oaks. However cheap tables and chairs. With 2 ply napkins.I'm giving Wild Iris 2 stars, One for the seating under the oaks, One for slicing the lemons into generous 1" slices that you can actually squeeze. Finding that most restaurants have cut down on the slices of lemons and limes.A great test of a Cook versus a Chef is the knowledge of cooking a Well Poached Egg. Explaining a Well poach being slightly runny as explained to the server when I ordered. When she served my food prior to me even cutting into the eggs, she commented they look "Great", I responded with, "I'll let you know" as I'm also sitting with an empty glass of ice tea. She walks away.Not a good sign in our industry when you have to flag the server down to refill an empty glass of tea.My Classic Eggs Benedict eggs were coddled with no run at all. Instead of a slight run. The ham used was average deli ham. The muffin had been precooked and held for so long it had no texture at all. The Home Fries were simply disgusting! Not only old but overcooked potatoes and many were burnt. The potatoes were so bad, I question if they were yesterday's potatoes!The server was extremely pleasant! Yet, I still had to flag the server down to show her my food after 3 bites and to get my tea finally refilled. comments. Her excuse on the muffin was it looked like the Hollandaise and runny egg made it soft. Impossible since coddled egg has NO RUN and the 2 tablespoons of sauce hadn't come in contact yet with the muffin having only 3 bites.She also didn't supply another lemon slice. There were only 5 tables filled outside with 2 other servers working the area. When she gave me the tab eating only 1/4 on the plate. She made no offer of taking the Benedict off my tab. Plus the Owner was there!A small restaurant usually can't afford an expediter that makes sure the food looks right before sending out. It is left to the Cook (in this case) and the server to make sure the dish looks proper. In my dish, all failed miserably.Wild Iris Cafe Cook and Owner should get guidance from 2 local Diners that undercook fresh cut and SCRUBBED Potatoes every morning and rewarm on the griddle.With the owner was on the premise, and OK with putting out burnt, old potatoes. I can only imagine what the food looks like when he isn't!Thus, One And DONE with Wild Iris Cafe

Super nice little cafe with great food and prices are really reasonable. Went for the loaded surf n turf Bloody Mary with 2 pieces of bacon and good refreshing shrimp it was amazing already just drink wise. Then for brunch we wanted to order everything and then decided to go for the savory crepes and breakfast skillet which did not disappoint at all. Service is also really good the people are so nice ? Will be back thank you!

Great little cafe! Food and Cappuccino was delicious! We went for breakfast on a Monday morning and service was great and orders came out quickly.

Food and service was wonderful! My sister and I shared the quiche and biscuits and gravy (huge portions of each - glad we shared). Quiche is very tall, light and creamy. Sausage gravy had perfect amount of sausage (some places skimp but not here!). Latte was divine. We realized this cafe was featured in "Taste of Love" Hallmark movie! Ambiance was very nice outside. Highly recommend.
We had a lovely bunch on the wild iris cafe patio. It was delicious, fresh food with a great patio. The green goodness dressing was spectacular and all our salads and sandwiches were so tasty. Even had a kids play area and cool art around. One of the best meals during our stay for sure

I felt it was too pricey for the quality of food. Had the Benny and pancakes they were both mediocre. Hollandaise too lemony and overall tasted sour. Pancakes were meh.

Avocado toast is delicious! There is a wait as they are very busy so reserve ahead or allow for wait. We parked a few blocks away.
