Hear from our valued guests
It was great! Hallie and all this staff were wonderful! They made us feel very welcomed. Great experience all in all Thank you!
Never a bad experience! Unique food choices, seasonal food choices, extensive menu options. The staff is amazing - friendly and attentive. Love going here! Love the decor and atmosphere. It's my go to place when in town.
Very interesting place. Food and service was excellent. Nice variety of dishes for breakfast or lunch. It was my first visit. Recommend it highly.
1st time ever going here and was pleasantly surprised. The mimosa was a fresh squeezed glass of orange juice and they provided the alcohol to add to your liking. Food was so gorgeously presented I did not want to eat it; but so glad I changed my mind. Everything that was in the dish I selected was very flavorful and complimented the other ingredients. Like a party in my mouth with every bite. Bathrooms were kept tidy with baby changers in women's and men's bathrooms. Our waitress Lyndsay was so fabulous. I do not have one single bad thing to say about this place except if you plan on getting what I pictured, better do so by May 2026 because it is a seasonal dish. Not sure if able to accommodate xl parties though. Can call to ask. Would recommend to any age group.
The food was incredible and the service was attentive even with being packed for father's day. If you haven't absolutely give this place a try!
My daughter and I split out food and the French toast and the waffle is very good! Server was friendly and this place is very nice! Will definitely come again!
Such a cute place!! They have amazing food and very quick service. Definitely recommend!!
The food hit especially well today. Our server was very nice. Great way to start the day.
Delicious breakfast! Super friendly staff. Would definitely recommend!!!!
The food was delicious. I give it a 4.8 overall the only negative was over easy eggs were over medium. Very open dining room is noisy but inviting. It was hard to decide when to choose.Because there was so many good options on the menu.Definitely, gonna have to come back and try some more things next time.
