Came for Mother’s Day brunch waited 2 hours for food, reservations made for 2pm didn’t eat till after 4 menu was just breakfast items when we called to make reservations we were told normal menu plus some specials. Out of steak, French toast and crepes on a limited menu. My husband didn’t eat and 2 of my kids had to leave to get to work. Our food did come out and potatoes were absolute mush. No one besides our waitress came over she offered free drinks (we had one previously at bar while we waited to sit) and we had kids w us so couldn’t have any more. Very disappointing very

I recently went today for my friends birthday with my husband, and 17 month old. My baby was being a little noisy but he is still a baby. He knocked his cup on the ground and it spilled. I asked the waiter if he could grab another for the baby and he said okay no problem. He comes back to tell me the OWNER didn’t want to have my son get another cup because he spilled his on the ground on accident and has to clean the carpets because of him and he didn’t want to upset him. The waiter was extremely polite when telling me this and had amazing service. I was just baffled at the fact my toddler was being judged for an accident. When he isn’t even 2 or a year and a half.

Disappointed is an understatement. Was here once before and it was pretty good, came with my son and daughter-in-law and granddaughter and had to wait a ridiculous amount of time. Other people were seated around us that came in after us. I even asked him we split the table because we had a two-year-old and we wanted to feed her. We kept being told oh you’ll be coming up. I have to clear table. I have to clear table over and over or we don’t have a table For five. They could have let us split a table.Then once we were seated, getting service was non existent . We waited for45 minutes to be seated and 45 to be served.. we where then to be told lunch isn’t served on Sundays) you could’ve started with that ) didn’t get out of there until 130 with disappointing food mediocre at best poor service very slow kitchen and the specials were horrible. Couldn’t even eat the strawberry crêpes and all whoever the hostess kept saying while we were waiting is I don’t have a table for five. horrible people, the food was horrible the fried potatoes undercooked the waffle was obviously frozen and store-bought for the baby and the price for what we paid for everything not worth it. Avoid it at every cost never going back.

First time breakfast, eggs and bacon were perfect, one slice of toast is a bit skimpy and home fries looked from frozen, so I guess my review is mixed. Onions in home fries should be no charge.

It was my first time. It was very busy. Although there were many people, it wasn't overcrowded because they served the food quickly. The Patio was very nice and the inside was REALLY nice. I love the woodwork! They also have a private dining area which more places need. Everyone was super smiley which helped my rough day.I had the Chicken and Waffles with Home fries. It was every bit of yummy that I heard. IT WAS A BIG PORTION!!!! They only thing I would say is ..MORE GRAVY PLEASE! ?

Cute place, disappointing food. For those prices I expected a homemade crab cake not one out of a box frozen, and a burnt English muffin. Pancakes were mid. And if you’re looking for a good cuppa coffee, stay away.

Very disappointed in my experience here. I visited on Saturday September 28th with a couple of friends. We were excited for the live entertainment because we don’t get the opportunity to go out much. The service was awful. We were treated as more of a nuisance than actual customers. The staff, including the manager, were making disrespectful comments, asking people to move their cars, and just overall having a bad attitude. It was very unprofessional and left us with a bad taste for the establishment. We will not be returning.
