Be prepared for a long wait, especially during Sunday brunch times. Good vegan options on the menu. They struggled with my garlic allergy, but they did make something work for me.

The food was okay, but nothing special. We waited in line for over 45 minutes even though the café wasn’t that busy.
Service was below average, and with a 20% tip and an extra 3% staff charge automatically added to the bill, that just doesn’t feel right.
We also waited around 40 minutes for two simple breakfast dishes.
I didn’t even feel like taking a photo of the food — that’s how unimpressive it was.
It was our first and last time here — neither the food nor the wasted time was worth it.

Pretty good brunch spot. My husband and I arrived around noon on a Friday. The wait was only around 20 minutes. Street parking was plentiful. Inside was cool with a slightly warmer temp that I would have liked. Also the tables are very close together. We started with a side order of the crispy breakfast potatoes, these were really good! I wish the serving size was bigger. We had the mango lemonade and blueberry lemonade bottle juices. They were decent. For entrees we ordered the Lobster Daddy with a hard fried egg and the crawfish sauce on the side, and 2 blueberry pancakes with grilled chicken and hard scrambled eggs. Now the wait time for the food was not timely at all. We saw a few tables that came after us get their meals. Not sure what happened. I enjoyed the Lobster daddy but I feel the serving size was really small for the price. The crawfish sauce was lukewarm so I couldn't really enjoy it. The lobster was fried really well and it was seasoned perfectly. The biscuit was kind of flat but had a good flavor. My husband said his was just ok. Only 1 pancake is needed because it is large. Not the best pancake around but pretty good. The chicken breast was season and grilled wonderfully. Overall not a place I just have to visit again but glad I got it off my bookmark list. Total price $97.00. They automatically include 20% gratuity ( even for a party of 2) and some kind of server fee.

This place is overrated. The crab dip had zero flavor - it tasted like white-colored water with pieces of crab. The bacon was overcooked. While the pancakes were good, it was hard to be impressed, it's just a pancake. We were seated under a vent that dripped water on me the entire time. Although the wait time wasn't bad, it wasn't worth the experience. Honestly, I wouldn't go back even if they paid me. I often wonder if people who leave high reviews know what real quality is. Having lived in Europe for six years, I've come to realize that many Americans don't know what good food is. Respectfully.

Fabulous food and great vibe!

Be aware! There's an automatic 20% gratuity added to checks of two or more and another 3% server free that you don't find out about until you get the ticket. $90 breakfast for two people. Not expected. Good food, good service but not for that price.

Other than the expediter in the kitchen screaming his head off, this was one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had in my lifetime. I had the bad cat breakfast with potatoes (perfectly crispy) eggs (over medium my preference) the sausage (absolutely seasoned to perfection) and pancakes (no idea why I loved them so much). Just an awesome breakfast.

This has to be the best breakfast in the city. The coffee, potatoes and pancakes can't get much better
