“They have a extensive menu with many choices. On a busy Sunday morning, we were seated quickly, but had to wait a while for a waitress to come and take our order. Oddly, they offered coffee immediately, but not water. When the server brought our food, we asked for water, and it took a while. We were half way through our meal before water arrived.
My wife had a mushroom based omelet which was disappointing because it was not very substantial, mushrooms barely noticeable, mostly red pepper and egg, fried on both sides.
I had better luck with the waffle which was tasty with chopped fresh strawberries sprinkled on top.
We asked for coffee refill, which was delayed by the need to brew a new pot. As compensation, the restaurant gave us 2 large coffees to go.“

“It was absolutely amazing and peaceful. Best message I have ever had at the Spa.

Rooms: Clean and accommodating. Colonial charm.

Walkability: Everything was within walking distance of 5 to 7 minutes.

Food & drinks: The food was amazing. We tried several items and enjoyed everything. I do not typically order steak as I always seemed to get disappointed. I had the Prime NY Strip, and it was perfectly cooked and as tender and juicy as it should be. Absolutely fantastic!“

For those that wrote bad reviews, please understand small businesses go through hard times especially after trying to recover after Hurricane Helene. You are no longer in the big city. These places are gems if you give them a chance. If you don’t want to, go have have a Dulcolax sandwich from McDonalds“

“I had the pizza, which, when fresh and right from oven, was the best I've had in the US. Not kidding. Only the one I fix, my father makes, or ones I've had in Italy were better. It took like 20-30 minutes so u know it was fresh. They have a thin and thick crust available. There is a Subway and McDonald's right across the street. Just don't. Support local business and eat here. The sandwiches and burgers others were eating looked good too. Highly recommend.“
