It was our first time and we enjoyed our experience. Eggs Benedict is a favorite and was truly enjoyed. I knew it had to be good when they were silent. I tried the elephant ear waffle, solely based on the homemade cinnamon butter. It was a perfect choice with a side of bacon, cooked crisp without having to ask! And for the most important for me, the coffee . . . it was hot and delicious. We're glad we stopped in before the lighthouse tour.

I have never gone through with writing a review, but as a ex-server myself in the coffee business and restaurant business I hold a high expectation but I give patience when it’s necessary. When we arrived and for most of our time there, the place was not packed so there was no reason to have such awful service. If I could have given a zero star I would have.

Firstly, yes the food is good. Well seasoned to not feel too salty or too sweet/fatty so you can comfortably walk after indulging.

However the service was awful. Started with a phone call where I asked if there was a wait time and when I got the answer there wasn’t, instead of a friendly mutual goodbye I got hung up on by what I assumed was the manager(m)

Next, our server-I’ll call her out, the one with the “e-girl” bleached front pieces with black hair. Was she bartending or was she a waitress. She spent so much time behind the bar and when our coffee cups were empty and NO WATER was ever given to us I still could not get her attention. When she passed back with 5 checks ready to be handed she didn’t stop at the table to check on us when she was next to us or after she handed off the rest of the checks. Then I hear the manager I’m assuming trying to get her attention over the walkie system to service us, but a different waitress came to give us coffee…I expressed the frustration to her about lack of seeing our server/people around us were getting there food and we had a one year old getting hangry and she just said “oh ok I’ll see what’s up”.

Still no sign of our server, manager guy delivers our food, no sense of apologies for our wait/poor service, says he’ll be back with syrup for our French toast and a share plate we asked for and NOPE no return.

Manager guy cared more about getting people in at a table and filling the restaurant instead of how dinners were being treated, clearly.

Some other server-4th person now of contact, not our original waitress, has given us a separate plate we asked for.

Finally when we are finishing up eating does our designated waitress come to CHECK ON us. As if she was any help. I asked for the check only, which she somewhat eagerly and readily plopped down on the table, told her to not going anywhere cause card would be good to go in a min.

Then comes manager just clearing our plates quickly, somewhat aggressively, again to just get people in v making customers feel welcome.

We ordered a panini and a steak Benny. The panini was fine. The steak Benny was dry with very little sauce (gravy?). The waitress took 15 minutes to bring water and had to be asked twice for ketchup. The worst part was the 2+ hour time between arrival and departure. We waited 30 minutes to be seated while noticing 3-4 empty outdoor tables. If you want to make dining here the big event of your Saturday, then please have at it. Otherwise, you would be better off trying the closest Cracker Barrel. At least you can play the golf tee triangle game there while waiting.

Enjoyed Sunday brunch on the patio. The waiter brought our dog a water bowl which was very nice and we liked the different mimosa options. I really liked the breakfast potatoes served with the croque monsieur

Super cozy place for breakfast on a cloudy day. Taylor was an amazing server. She made sure our coffee cups were always full and checked on us regularly. If we were locals we’d come here every week.
