The service was great. The Mac & cheese sticks were excellent. The chicken parma pasta was superb. The portion was giant sized.

The food was awful. There were little gnats flying around the restaurant. You are treated like a number and there is little thought or interaction with the staff/restaurant experience. The soft drink machine needs to be cleaned as the soda tastes like medicine. Absolutely will not be back.

The food was nice enough. Popped in by chance, as I had a bit of a wait for my train. I went with the Eggs Benedict and was pleasantly surprised. Poached eggs were running and the hollandaise sauce was perfect! The only let down was the homemade fries. Not for me I’m afraid. It’s cubes of fried potato, mixed with peppers and onion. I’d rather have french fries

Best brunch I've had in a hot minute. I'd die for a good mimosa and the flight hit just right to start my Saturday.
Avoid Causeway for Brunch. The brunch offering at this spot feels like an afterthought, with disinterested staff and sub-par foo. The Hollandaise on the benedict had spilt, and the homefries are rock hard, oil soaked leftovers. Causeway lets itself down from it's appearance as a great spot to get something to eat and drink.

We had a really disappointing experience here. When we sat down, the server didn’t greet or welcome us at all. It took a long time just to get menus, and when we finally did, she walked away without offering water or checking in. The lack of basic service made us feel ignored, so we ended up leaving.

Yummers!!! Omg the menu had me wishing I had more days in the area. So friendly and amazing service. I love how inside has the multiple table options from high to low to booths and tables. Service unmatched and food was beyond expectations. The steak on the carne asada fries melted with every bite. Seasoned to perfection. The waffle that came with the chicken and waffles was CAKE! OMG and the home fries warmed up beautifully with my leftovers in the oven. Can’t wait to go back. Oan the mimosa flight is dangerously good! Wow what and experience.
