Immediately felt unwelcome by our server, who seemed irritated to have the table, and kinda was snarky when I asked questions about the menu. He didn’t check up on us at all during our meal or ask us if we wanted to get more drinks. Food looks great on paper but was very disappointing and lacked presentation and any seasoning whatsoever. Bummer! Was hoping the other reviews were wrong.-steak and eggs (watery eggs, no seasoning on veggies or steak, which was cooked to wrong temp)-chicken nugget style “hashbrowns” that were clearly frozen and fried-Bloody Mary was okay but not memorable

Parking pickings are slim for this place, but when you get in, it's easy to see why. The place was absolutely packed, with a line of people waiting for a table. So you know it's gotta be good, right? The vintage vibe is really nice, but the food and drinks are so much better. Looking at the menu alone, you can tell this place has good taste, variety, and style. They really do. I had the cappuccino to drink, and it was so smooth that I didn't even need sugar. For brunch, I ordered the sweet garlic chicken and waffles, which are OUT OF THIS WORLD GOOD! They were just about everything I'd hoped they'd be. Maybe I wish the sauce had been a little thicker so it could be used to coat the chicken, rather than a liquid, but at least the flavor was GREAT. I'd recommend this place to anyone in the area. I know where I'm having brunch when I come to Ithaca. Right here!!

Not the great food I remember from the last visit. Very busy and not quite worth the wait.

Had breakfast with friends last week and everything was totally mediocre. One friend had eggs Benedict with gluey hollandaise. My vegetable omelet was fine. Lots of vegetables, but completely bland and unseasoned. Both of these meals came with home fries that were obviously not homemade, similar to what you would get at a fast food restaurant. Third diner had Brie stuffed French toast that, again, had no flavor. Brie melted between thin slices of French toast just doesn’t work.On a positive note, service was polite and coffee pretty good.

Food was nice - the huevos rancheros was tasty despite having no cheese. Dessert was even better - the Italian lemon cream cake is delicious. Service was good as well. Parking is challenging - best to park on the side streets.

Wow! Busy busy, but the food was worth it. They took our number down and the wait was a bit backed up, so we just waited in the car for them to call. 30-35 min wait. I ordered the Arancini Salad, it just really tasted like a side on your salad. Berry cheesecake crepes, delicious should have been all I ordered. My husband ordered eggs Benedict and our friend ordered the BLT. I'd say the Berry Cheesecake Crepes was the most worth the price the flavor was really good. The service was amazing, the staff was kind. I might go back but it won't be for a while.Parking: The parking lot was full when we got there and was full when we left. We parked on the street nearby and walked. Wasn't too hard to find parking but not fun either.

Gussied up diner experience. Had the vegan chorizo tofu scramble. I'm not generally a vegan but this is a no meat Friday for me and this dish was really good. Surprised me. Service was very quick and quite helpful.
