Rebecca R.

Loved the food! The service was excellent, the waitress let me take my time despite having a few crowded tables. No pressure but also very knowledgeable in the menu items. Since this place is next to a hotel, bathrooms need key access. Again, very nice place and classy! I hope to return soon! :) in my photots I show the chicken and waffle with orange juice and coffee.

My first visit awhile ago was fine, came here the second time and disappointed in many ways. Food, dark oxidized avocado, asked for sunny side up but egg came scrambled. Service was worse, hard to get any attention even if we were trying to, waitress had an attitude since beginning, told to just look at the menu special when we asked for recommendation, told that's how it is when I mentioned my refilled coffee had little taste. It was really hot in there, people at front told me there is no air conditioning

The staff was so carrying and nice, it really made for a good experience. The food is delicious, there smoothie are great. It is a little on the expensive side but overall fair. Portions are nice and plentiful. The place is very nice and comfortable. A good place for a good brunch.
