Cool for breakfast. Great location and atmosphere.

We were told by the hostess that there was another reservation for our table and that we needed to finish up! Rude and Absolutely unacceptable. And at that time we were finishing the last of our $16 wine and were pretty much done. Food was pretty good but nothing special. overpriced but probably on par for that area. The place was loud and packed . We will have never go back! The manager offered a $20 gift card ..lol .. I'd avoid it if you don't want to be rushed out.

Food was cold, grapefruit not as advertised.
Waiter did his best and was friendly.
Overrated, too expensive, not worth the wait, won't go back.
Stick to Pamela's.

They have spacious dining.
Great selections.
Service with Debra P was great.
Coffee is a bit too strong for us but I asked Debra to pour me little hot water in my cup.
I’m not a fan of their sweet pork sausages because had a sweer flavor but everyone has different taste.
And we were here on Sunday so the street parking was free.

Amazing breakfast and brunch spot!  Two locations- downtown and South Side.  I checked out the South Side location, connected to Commonplace Coffee, street and garage parking available.  The space is so pretty, delicate and bright- super cute! Great service, sat at the bar and the bartender/server was so friendly’ They offer a super good brunch menu, everything from classics to specialty breakfast items, something for everyone.  Tried the T.S.E. Breakfast Sando! Probably one of the best breakfast sandwiches in the city!!! Onion & poppy seed bun toasted to perfection with two broke yolks, T.S.E. Sauce, American cheese, Boston lettuce, then I added some of their homemade Pineapple Hot Sauce- which was insane! It was subtle, sweet with a hint of spice! Absolutely obsessed!

For $50 per person for breakfast food It took very long time to get to the table (over an hour). They had a lot of empty tables at that time. The only saving grace is the waitress that took care of our table and when the food arrived, it was good.

If I could give 10 stars I would, I visited South Pittsburgh PA. And this place was quite amazing. Even though PA has lots of small amazing places to eat, I was lucky to stumble upon this one. The place was Immaculate had nice air circulation everything was clean bright. Obviously a good place because there were a lot of people. They have an attached coffee shop. They have outside seating and the restaurant it's a really good size. You can see all the cooking being done right in front of you they have an outside kitchen that is visible. There was a lovely bartender at the bar and lots of restaurant seating. Bartender was extremely friendly, polite, and helpful, and I enjoyed my conversation with her. The food was absolutely amazing. I went in for breakfast twice, and they made a regular breakfast look like a gourmet meal for regular breakfast prices. I couldn't have been happier. Low price making normal cuisine into an interesting dish by adding their own touches and mixing flavors with traditional food. I honestly really enjoyed the spot, and I will definitely go back who is in this area...

This food was phenomenal! They have breakfast and lunch options. The staff are so friendly and the location is perfect. We got the goat omelette which was amazing. The goat cheese went amazing with the egg and vegetables. My husband got the brown butter French toast which was also delicious as well. It's such a nice place to sit and study or catch up with friends.

Expected wait time of 40 minutes, arrived to be seated and was seated at the bar. Took about twenty minutes for our order to be taken, then another 10 for it to be put in. Food took a while to come out, but was relatively good.

I enjoyed the shakshuka at brunch last weekend so much I came back during the week and got it again ? Seating at the counter is very comfortable if you don’t want to wait for a table!

The whole crew here are totally pro, the food is excellent and the service has always been top tier. Debbie is always great with prompt and attentive service, we bring the work crew in for pre shift meals and it always sets us up for a great day! Best Brunch in the Burgh. Also that sausage gravy is perfectly executed.

Went here for my birthday brunch with my friends and baby this morning. Food was great and came out relatively quickly. Service was lacking but I’m willing to blame that on it being a busy Saturday morning. Everyone in my party had ordered a cocktail and mine never made it out to the table. Really disappointing that on my birthday I was the only one whose drink didn’t come out. Server said sorry when we brought it up after we waved him down for our check but I would have preferred to just have gotten to drink my birthday Bloody Mary. You win some you lose some, would definitely consider coming back for brunch again.
