This is the best place in Gainesville for an elevated fresh breakfast at a decent price.

I just suffered from diarrhea right after the meal under the suggestion of the waitress. So bad! The food was not tasty at all.

Had an excellent breakfast before this morning's farmers market. Michelle, our server, provided the best service ever!

The quiche slice was very small and undercooked, the tiny salad cost extra now. The service was very slow !!!!

How are family Christmas dinner here Saturday December 23rd. We had a wonderful time and the prices were amazing. Plenty of choices for kids as well ?. It was decorated beautifully inside! Our waitress was pleasant and courteous. She was kind enough to take a family photo as well. A very pleasant friendly atmosphere and you had the choice of sitting in a booth or at a table.

Place is fine.Is pretty low quality food. Just standard cheap dinner food. Nothing existing or special.Is a shame to, because of how close it is to where we live. If they had good food we would probably be there a few times a week.The bar part is a cool theme. But it smells.

This used to be our go-to Brunch place!; even after Covid ended and their menu was shrunk. But then they shrunk their menu even more, with poor quality food at the same price. They don’t have enough staff to keep tables attended to-NO FAULT OF THE SERVERS!Sad experience, should have saved our money.

Sad to leave a bad review but how do you burn an omelet this bad? 1 other table besides myself who ordered after i did. Omelet came out burnt. They made me a second one and still that one was burnt(just not as much). The waitress was kind and said she gave me a discount. When i looked at the bill she charged me for a coffee that i did not even ask for, so did i really get a discount? ? wasn’t in the mood to dispute the charge and i’ve got places to be. Won’t be returning.

"Pathetic." I have been here enough times to write a review. I have realized that the owner has made "0" efforts to make this restaurant better, in spite of it being at an attractive location in Haile. We ordered Cappuccinos, which came out cold! We waited several minutes before deciding to take them back inside, to be informed that the person who operates the machine has left for the day. Later, the hostess told us that they can re-brew the coffee, which came out as if it was microwaved to the extent of it overflowing and staining the cups. Our neighbors had the same to say about their coffee. The veggie omelette, home fries and gravy were tasteless. The service was lackadaisical at best! The entrance to the place stinks as it harbors the restrooms. Sad experience!

I’ve tried this place several times (living a short walk from the village), and without fail the hostesses/servers are inattentive and in a bad mood, the orders are wrong and you will be waiting on food/service/the check forever. A small core of regulars (and unsuspecting first-timers) keeps it afloat. It’s a pity. The bistro could have a booming business from nearby residents alone if they get their act together, but they’re content to tell customers they’re short-staffed (maybe a correlation to bad management, you think?) and set your expectations low.The nail in the coffin for us was the rainbow-flag credit card ad plastered on the door. Regardless of your position, it’s a divisive issue that most patrons are tired of having crammed down their throats. You want to be virtuous? Try staying out of social politics and just provide a good dining experience for the people who choose to patronize you.
