We always enjoy our brunch here. The food is absolutely delicious. The wait staff is friendly and the owner Jorge was very personable😀

I agree with others about the service being sub-par on our last visit. Took forever for food to come out, and had to keep asking about our food order status (the biscuits came out so late I think they forgot about them), they got the drink order wrong twice and never followed up after delivering food- I had to grab the syrup from another table for my kid’s pancakes as we were waiting so long, and the fresh squeezed OJ did not taste like fresh squeezed should. The meals themselves were still good overall, but quality went down as well. I ordered the same dish as last time and it had less flavor. My girls loved the ambience (that hasn’t changed) and were happy with their meals and portion size was generous!

Awful experience. Place was freezing cold, coffee and OJ undrinkable. Good quality sucked.

The worst food and experience I’ve ever had. Actually very scary.

I usually never post. If I have a bad experience I usually just don’t return, but I had simply one of the worst experiences in my life today. I’m sharing in hopes that the owner pays attention and takes some accountability to what is happening in their operation.

We are new to farmingdale and I strongly believe in supporting our community. My family and I arrived, was greeted not in the most welcoming manner and sat down. The first floor was an ice cube. We needed to leave our coat on because it was so cold. Every time the door opened , the blistering cold filled the first floor. It’s was miserable. Other tables including the manager was wearing their coats.

We ordered an ice coffee and OJ. Ice coffee was so watered down my wife couldn’t drink it. The OJ tasted as if it was 1/2 water and 1/2 Juice. It was simply disgusting. Neither one of us drank our beverages. Didn’t touch them after the first sip.

We tried to place our food orders with the managers, but refused and was told that she can only take our beverage order. We would need to wait for our server. Finally a server came over to take our order which was about 10min at least after being sat down. She was actually the most hospitable person we encountered. The so call manager who sat us and brought out beverages. Was out of touch and complacent to how this restaurant is being ran. Paid more attention to her cell phone than planting else. It was like they were okay or accepted sub quality product and services. Didn't seem like there was a clear direction on how this establishment should run.

Food took at least 25 minute after our order was placed. Not extreme, but sitting in an ice cold dining room where we couldn’t enjoy basic beverage, made it seem like an eternity. Food was nicely plated, but was like warm at best. Ordered the rancheros and Dominican breakfast. Love the fact that they tried something cool that no ones else is doing in the neighborhood, but failed at the execution. Both were simply disgusting. Soon as I got home I literally vomited. That’s when I decided I just had to post my experience.

Even at the end, when leaving, no one bothered to ask seeing that food was uneaten and beverages weren’t touch. Completely complacent and blind or just didn’t care enough to inquire or address what’s happening. We left a tip regardless because I understand what’s happening is not the servers fault.

I do not plan on ever returning to your establishment. For the sake
Of other customers and a successful business. I hope you dig deep inside and do the right thing.

The bacon was cooked perfectly, eggs were poached nicely, and the avocado was fresh. Potatoes are delish. The omelet was well stuffed. Overall, a nice meal.

The place was pretty empty mid-morning on a Monday. Service could have been more attentive but the girls did come around with coffee during the meal.

Plan to pay with cash for a nice discount!

I have been looking for a comfortable , great atmosphere and great food place to have breakfast.. This place checked off all boxes!
The food was delicious! The service beyond excellent. I have a feeling is a family owned and operated restaurant as it shows in the way you are treated and serve.
Will definitely come back again!

Very homey place! The food was absolutely amazing. The hostess/server was very nice. Everything was freshly made. The biscuits are a must try. We had the grandmothers Benedict and lemon poppy seed pancakes both delicious. Looking forward to returning!
