I’ll start of by saying that the food is great! Never had anything here that didn’t taste good. Keep in mind they only have a full menu on weekends they have a smaller menu during the week. Came here twice on weekends and will not return. The service was HORRIBLE every time. We had to clear off our own table then we were informed that there’s no silverware and it took forever for a waiter to show up. If they’d have better service i would definitely eat there again on weekends but im not paying $80+ for 3 people and not getting good service.

Great food for a community club house. Lots of amenities and great views. I love the burger. Good service and the staff was very friendly and helpful getting us situated.
10/16/2025 - 5 years later, this is the only place I get my burger. I've tried a lot of other places but nothing beats this one.

Though our small group was seated toward the rear of the bistro, we received great service with a smile!

Delicious coffee and food. Customer flow a bit off for customers entering the store, waiting in line and waiting for ordered items.

Unfortunately, this place has gone down. Inexperienced staff and cooks ruin the experience. Ordered simple meal.. took 3 tries to get it right and never did. Easy ask- napkins, coffee refills and getting order corrected was not met. Bummer since it is close, great location and nice outdoor seating

Cold waffles. Raw bacon. Had to ask for it to be cooked more. Waitress asked if it was cooked properly WHEN I WAS PAYING! Waitress never came back to my table to check on us but once and that was when the food was brought to the table. Had to ask for butter…when you have waffles, pancakes, and toast, should you have to ask for butter? No! Never asked if we needed anything or could they get us anything. We wanted coffee but never had the chance to get it. She asked me from across the room if I wanted my check! Male server was the one that had our bacon cooked crispy and got our butter and pepper. Service is horrible all the time. And, apparently, no one cares. The last time I was there I had to wait and wait for silverware and ketchup and refill on my drink. Had to get up and go to the counter twice. And the tables beside me were not happy either. Don’t know how they stay in business.

The Jessica Burger was delicious! This is my favorite place to go on a regular basis. The food is great and the atmosphere is cozy! It's just like eating lunch or having dinner with friends. I truly love it!

Wonderfull atmosphere, we ate outside it was beautiful. The service was prompt & friendly. My biscuits & gravy was a little lite on the gravy, the side of bacon was properly cooked, the coffee was a little weak.
My wife enjoyed her salmon bagel.
