Had reservations and were seated in the Airstream trailer inside the restaurant - funnest seat in the house! Beware it can get hot in the airstream if you’re bundled up for fall weather. Best mimosa! Had the seasonal mimosa which involved a local apple cider. Best coffee at a sit down brunch! A literal pour-over made just for me for $4. Food was also very good. Crispiest potatoes. Open-faciest omelette. Artfullest arrangement of GF buckwheat pancakes.

There's a reason I always bring visiting friends here, and why we keep coming back! The food is stellar. Never had a bad experience here, and they've always been so accommodating.

Amazing cocktails, delicious Portabello sandwich, and killer fries. Very classy vibe, but not pretentious. And really friendly and helpful service.

Amazing food with multiple gluten free options. Fall menu was beautiful. The atmosphere is modern, clean, upscale-ish (I didn’t drink but they had a big selection of wines) but still has a friendly vibe to it. The service was attentive, kind, and very helpful with the menu.

Small portions, horribly overpriced ($25 for a 2 egg omelette), was seated in a crowded spot with an embarrassingly small table. Bumping elbows with the other people here. Pretentious and the only thing I liked was the decent decor.

What a wonderful surprise!! We were in town for an evening and wanted a nice dinner. L&O didn’t disappoint!! The airstream in the dining area hooked us!
The service was impeccable, and the food was equally delicious. Our servers recommended pairings did not disappoint.

Had been dying to try this place for quite some time...so glad we finally came! We got seated inside of the airstream trailer, it was so cute inside. Food was amazing...best bacon I've ever had. Definitely will be back.
Only recommendation I would make is...when people are visiting for the first time - share the history of this place. Very cool story and it would be fun to hear upon being seated. Didnt detour our experience by any means, just a suggestion 😀

Service was great, food was good but just sometimes lacking the wow experience for our taste buds.

We felt 2 out of our 3 dishes were tasty. The open faced omelette, the breakfast sandwich were amazing. The burger was just kind of meh if you base it off the burger patty. The sauces they used on our dishes are to die for! That’s what really made the meals so good.
If I were to base an opinion of the atmosphere solely on the decor/furniture - love it! Stylish, yet fun.
The hostess was very chatty with other customers and took about ten minutes to even welcome us. No one acknowledged us that entire ten minutes. When we were seated, our waiter was attentive, transparent with what they did and did not know but was great about finding answers to the couple of questions they didn’t already know. Was very understanding of gluten sensitivity. All their current dishes, except the coffee cake, are easily made gluten free. I felt safe and understood.
Sitting inside the (I forget what it’s called…) trailer made for a more intimate experience, and way easier to hear each other. If you have any sort of hearing issues or sensory processing issues I for sure recommend asking to sit inside there. That was honestly our main reason for asking to sit in there was to see if that was true. I would say the only atmosphere complaint we had would be noise level - and people weren’t even talking loudly! The noise just sounded excessively amplified for such a relatively small space.
But again, the food was great! The breakfast sandwich is very slippery so lean over your plate (unfortunately) if you want to eat the whole thing. The potato wedges were outstanding! We are going back for those for sure!!
