Had a reservation for 12:45. Put in the reservation notes that we needed a highchair, was told when we got there that they didn’t have any. I had looked in the outdoor area and there was a highchair sitting unused. I went in and asked the hostess and she magically said yes, they would have a high chair for us to use but we still had to wait for a table to be open. Finally got seated at 1:15 with the highchair. Waited another 15 minutes for menus which we had to change down the hostess for. Then another 15 for glasses which we had to go up to the bar to ask for ourselves because no one was around to ask. We put our orders in after 30 more minutes of waiting. Finally after another 40 minutes of waiting for food and seeing other tables before us also still waiting we said enough was enough and left. We arrived at 12:30 and there was a table that had no food or menus, they still did not have any of their food when we walked out. They had also just seated a party of 10 which I can only imagine had to wait forever for their food. The staff did their best but whoever was in charge of managing booking and reservations was really off the mark here. I have worked in restaurants for years so I know it is not the fault of the servers or cooks but the management that clearly did not prepare. This was my first Mother’s Day and all I wanted was a nice meal with my husband and baby. We ended up going to Taco Bell because we were that starving when we left. I’m also looking at reviews from last year on google and it seems the same thing happened last Mother’s Day so obviously the management didn’t care enough last year to learn and change their system to be better this year.

Had dinner there tonight and it was outstanding. I had fish, my wife had beef, both were great, as well as the molten lava cake. Prices are very reasonable. Worth a trip.

I’m so confused about the great reviews for this place. That was the whole reason I came. And I’m sad to write a bad review but I feel like someone here has to be honest.

1. It was 15 degrees outside and the temperature was essentially the same inside (maybe a little higher?) because every door had an aggressive draft. We felt bad leaving so we just moved tables instead. Our server suggested moving to the center of the room so we did. Even then, we had to wear our coats the whole time. The tables around us had to do the same thing. This was the first thing to go wrong but I looked past it since it’s not their fault.

2. We were one of 3 tables in the whole restaurant and service was terrible. My coffee was cold, and when I asked for a refill (thinking it would warm up my cup) I realized the entire pot was cold. Our server was really young so I tried giving her the benefit of the doubt, but we had to flag someone down for everything we needed. Because there were so few people in the restaurant, I was surprised to be ignored the whole time. Both servers were busy doing side work around us and didn’t notice we were waiting to be approached. It made me wonder how much worse the service would be if the whole place was filled!

They clearly didn’t know the menu either because when we asked for eggs benedict with home fries, they gave us each an extra side of home fries instead of telling us that our meals already came with home fries. We ended up eating them and paying for them, but why wouldn’t you let me know??

3. Our meals were VERY staggered. My fiancé got his meal a while before I got mine, and when I finally got mine, it was cold. Very average food, and even worse coffee.

I would never go out of my way to come back here especially in the winter.

No. Decor is from Marshall's, the flooring is click plastic faux laminate, the restrooms are dirty, as was the floor, tables and walls. The empty parking lot indicates the general idea of the place.

NO the food is the worst. Spoiled potatoes do not belong in a restaurant. The French fries (served twice) were definitely fried in days old oil. This very simple food was off in so many possible ways. Nothing can be said to cover for that.

Okay.. the service was poor, that's excusable. I will not comment on base stupidity or careless management and lack of insight into why training matters. That failure is entirely inconsiderate of dignity, which this place lacks absolutely

The cream was spoiled for the coffee. The replacement coffee's cream did not curdle, it separated into clear swirling oils. It was not stable.

Never, not, don't bother, ever. Go to the gas station, try out their food, which just might amaze you in comparison. Oh wait, this restaurant's building was a gas station. From the root, this unfortunate is going to fail. It is really the poorest representation of humanity. Seriously. However, try as something might workout. Nonetheless expect to be uncomfortable.

Really wanted to love this place - but it’s a hard no.
Obviously a family run business - our waitress was
a very young girl who knew nothing about the menu. Banana bread was ordered ( was highly recommended) - it was served as one piece cut into 4 little slices….$13!!!! Older woman ( possibly owner?) said they never got a complaint. Saw a picture from a review and there was 4 slices of bread!! The place has awful service and is priced way too high. We enjoyed one of the yogurt bowls, should have been $10 was $18 ( yogurt with a sprinkler of granola and some fresh fruit). Definitely would not go running back

We've been there twice for dinner and plan to go back - consistently excellent food (we tried many things) and a lot of delicious choices for me (a pescatarian). Super nice folks who greet us.

Really fresh ingredients and a good menu selection. The service was a little slow during a busy dinner time, there was a mixup with my order, and they charged us for the wrong food. The staff were friendly and fixed the issue with the bill. It’s definitely good food so I’ll be back, but hopefully service can improve

I want to like this place. I’ve now been 3 times and we are always the only party here, which feels weird. I think they’re trying to do too much. Open from 8am - 9pm. The menu is odd. It’s “fusion” but I feel like the menu needs to be more focused. It’s currently all over the place, which gives the impression that they don’t do any one thing particularly well.

Today I came for late breakfast, asked if they could do an iced latte, because they have espresso on the menu. The server was so unsure about it that I got something else. The lemons for the iced tea were cut in tiny flat pieces, like they were trying to ration them. You have to get lemon juice all over your fingers to squeeze them. It’s the small things.

My huevos rancheros were actually very good, and the presentation was attractive.

Overall, I think the owners should implement some suggestions from customer reviews. I would love for this place to improve and stick around.

The food is so good and ambience is cute but the service is always really really slow and spotty. We only go when we have lots and lots of time
