Amazing food, amazing service. Best hashbrowns I ever had, best biscuit I ever had, new mushroom baguette was fantastic- can taste the quality. Will be back.

Hashbrowns were delectable. The maitake mushroom baguette sandwich was yummy. Blown away by the simplicity of the ingredients, coupled by the superior execution.

The most adorable brunch spot!! Its so cute, the food is incredible and the service and vibes are so friendly. The quiche is GORGEOUS. Everything we had was so delicious. The single pancake, the patty melt, market salt, the HASHBROWNS so crispy, deviled eggs and the paw paw donut.

Average food and service/seating after 1.5h wait outside which initially was supposed to be 50 min. We ordered the sausage and the feta dish. It was just ok. We were squeezed on a shared table and the lady asked me to move more. They add 20% gratuity on your bill so you don’t have a choice.

Was excited to try the place for family weekend but we all left disappointed. We tried items for breakfast which ranged from being fine (donuts and pancakes) to mediocre (a breakfast sandwich that was like an egg McMuffin) to just bad (poached eggs with vinegar potatoes). The coffee was horrible. The atmosphere was nice and staff friendly but the food left a lot to be desired.

one of the sweetest recent breakfast nooks in the city . the interior woodworking is beautiful and immediately inviting , the staff is friendly and warm . walking in feels like catching up with an old friend , and each bite of whichever the day's menu has to offer leaves you craving more well after you're too full to possibly have another . a refreshing embrace of hospitality , between the incredible service and the divine plates that leave you wondering how long until your next visit .. big love to the team behind building & sustaining this sweet little spot . ( particularly adam , abby , wes , liam , and gwen . thank you ! )

simply the best!
Tasty, never going back. The flavor, 100% there, and although I am not sure it lives up to, for instance a $17 a la carte burger, the food doesn't disappoint. The entire dining experience, poor, and not worth the visit; best door-dashed if you wish, maybe for the hash-browns - the somewhat unique recipe. This restaurant is trying to be two things at once: a fine dining establishment, and a low-brow eatery, and it doesn't do a good job at either. The decor and design, lovely, and decent potential for a pleasant experience. The seating, crammed on to a bench right next to the A/C thoroughly freeze you, a communal table shared with half the restaurant, or if you are lucky a small table of your own (just bad). The food is likely to come out staggered (low-brow) in nonsensical order, a la carte (high-brow or trendy). Half the menu is premium priced finger food (low-brow acting high-brow), and this would be ok if you were given the right bits to eat it, for instance napkins beyond the fancy place setting, but no, again trying to look and price fancy without being so. Which comes to the service, in our case, it was actually awful. Take napkins, we hadn't seen our server in forever, and with my partner's fingers covered in finger-food residue, I actually had to stop another employee who promised to bring some, never happened. She wanted coffee during the meal, it was so long before we spoke to someone that she gave up. It got to the point where we were sitting there with empty plates and me starring into the restaurant to any employee who walked by, just to get someone to charge us and let us go. I get 100% better service at Denny's. Lastly, the owners actually lie about the price of the food. There are two valid models for how to pay employees: offload their wage to the customer by asking them to tip based on performance - charge less for food by less overhead, or pay your employees a fair wage, increase the cost of the food for overhead but accept the risk of the advertised cost on the menu. In special cases, party of 8 or more, require gratuity and make it clear ahead of time. These people cheat it all and basically false advertise your meal. As bad as this service was, I haven't considered tipping less than 20% since I can remember, but these people show you their already premium prices, and at the end of the meal hit you with a required 20% "gratuity" meaning the MEAL was 20% MORE EXPENSIVE than advertised regardless of rewarding good or bad service. If you want to pay your employees, GREAT, price the food accordingly. If you want to offload that cost to the customer based on performance like 90% of restaurants, FINE, we'll plan for that cost. Don't false advertise your food prices by forcing us to pay your employees gratis or otherwise. That's actually messed up, it's a cheat, it's false advertising, and you should be ashamed of yourselves. And while you're at it, maybe ask your employees to check with their table now and then. Some people are great cooks, but need separate management.

We officially have a new favorite brunch spot- Frank & Lauries. Frank & Laurie's brings "elevated grandma chic" vibes, and the food is just as homey. The menu changes often, but don't miss the deviled eggs and the best hash browns you'll ever have—a crispy, cubed block of fried goodness served with oyster sauce.
Pro Tips:
- It gets VERY busy on weekends and Fridays, so try making a reservation. There is a cute park across the street for while you wait
- Weekdays are easier to stop in
- Don't miss the hashbrowns and the deviled eggs

This is a must try for breakfast or lunch when you’re on the east side of Providence. There’s a great team that runs this place and the staff is always incredibly friendly. I truly believe that these chefs are among the most talented anywhere in Rhode Island. Put it on your list and order several things because they will all be fantastic. I will continue to eat here as often as I can, their menu changes periodically and they’re always introducing New and wonderful flavors.
