Great food, cool decorations, amazing staff. Courtyard dining also available.

Excellent and fantastic service ?

I am normally not the customer that likes to complain but my first experience at this restaurant wasn't the best. We got seated and then it took forever for us to be greeted by a waitress, even tho I could see all of them just chitt-chatting away at the bar in front of the kitchen. My husband and I ordered waters to drink and both of our glasses were dirty (had stuff floating in our waters). We both ordered the steak and eggs breakfast. When we first received the meals, our steaks were mixed up (I got my husband's steak and he got mine). But when I saw my steak, it was WAY too bloody to be med-well so sent it back to be recooked. My waitress was very nice about it and about the situation..... but unfortunately, I had to send the steak back twice because it was still too bloody to be a med-well steak. By the time I got it back, I was already down with the rest of my food and the steak was well done at that point. I didn't complain or say anything because I was hungry and the food was still good, in a way. The coffee cake was amazing tho ?

Really cute little cafe with a gorgeous outdoor seating area. We got brunch here before walking along the beach. The pigs in a blanket were fantastic, as well as all the other breakfast essentials. Very friendly staff and quick service. Loved hanging here!

Only one star because the coffee was good. Not much of a kids menu and we said our kid will only eat a hard boiled egg but they said they don't it. The owner or the main owner who ever she isn't that pleasant towards Hispanics I guess. Wasn't treated warmly. She is definitely bossy towards the other servers. Wouldn't come here again. We have been skipped by over and over for coffee or even just trying to pay our bill. I seen another family too having the same issue. Seen a couple who got their food and took one bite and asked for it to go.

Great employees, great food. Get a lot for your money.

1st timers & we're ready to go back. Food was amazing, large portion sizes meant we got another taste later that day.Will be back, but hope they remember to apply our discount next time.

Not bad at all good diner food had a lunch meeting here ,chicken salad sandwich and fries it was way better than expected food was great service was great will be returning for sure

We dined here for breakfast on a Monday morning. They offer a good selection of breakfast and lunch items on their menu plus about 6-8 daily specials. I chose french toast with bananas and walnuts, with a little dusting of powdered sugar. We were escorted to a booth and immediatly offered a cup of coffee. While we waited only a brief time for our food, our waitress retured twice to refill our coffees. The food was hot, delicious and presented wonderfully. Syrup and creamer are furnished on the table so there's no need to catch someone's eye for more, if needed. The service was excellent and friendly. I'm looking forward to our next visit. Maybe we'll have breakfast on their covered patio next time.

Food not as good as expected. Disappointed in pancakes. It was hard to cut ✂️the pancakes ?.
