Adorable restaurant located in a lovely neighborhood in Doylestown! The decorations and layout were charming and the food was delicious. The three stars rating here is based SOLELY on our server, Abby S, who was borderline ridiculous tonight. First of all, we were seated at 7 pm. I was meeting with several friends who I have not seen in a few months and we were looking forward to catching up. As per usual, our server came to take our drink order and this is where the normal server-patron interaction ceased to exist. She proceeded to come to our table every 3 minutes for the next 30 minutes to ask if we were ready to order. We explained we were catching up and had not looked yet. The badgering became pathological and we finally ordered. Halfway through our meals at 8:05, and I mean LITERALLY mid-bite, she again came over asking if we were ready to order dessert. We were caught off guard and were getting aggravated at this point, as she had just given us our entrees 2 minutes prior. The harassment continued and we finally declined dessert at 8:30. We hoped to spend some time after our meal catching up and she continued to interrupt us every 2 minutes to ask about dessert or the tab. Throughout our entire meal, we felt rushed and irritated. I have never been badgered during a meal in such an appalling way in my life, especially considering the restaurant closes at 10 pm and it was not remotely close to that time. It was clear she wanted us to leave as quickly as possible and we found her to be extremely unwelcoming. The icing on the cake was at the end of the meal when she finally brought our tab and we noticed she had included an automatic 20% gratuity charge even though we were only a party of four. When we inquired as to whether a party of four would normally be charged an automatic 20% gratuity, we were met with a stuttering incoherent response culminating in my friend stating, “you just wanted to make sure you got your 20% tip, didn’t you?” She replied, “yes.” At this point, we considered speaking directly to the manager about her appalling behavior overall, but ultimately decided there was no point, as we have no intention of ever returning to this restaurant based on that miserable experience.
We enjoyed brunch at this unique gem celebrating mother's day, it was so unusual, with a surprisingly different menu, friendly staff, and creative decor! Being a travel agent, I couldn't resist asking for a tour of their rooms, and they kindly showed us the honeymoon suite, downstairs bar area, and meeting room on 2nd floor. Definitely will be back, and will share with clients!!!!!
As soon as we walked in, I was impressed by the decorations; they were unusual and quite beautiful.We did not have a reservation. We were offered a table downstairs but I told the hostess/server that I have some mobility issues and was unable to go down the steep stairs. At that point, we were given a table with the understanding that we had to eat in an hour and 45 minutes because the table was reserved. I asked if we could sit at another empty table, which was by the window, and was told that table was reserved.Shortly after we sat down, a couple came in, they had apparently been offered a table downstairs. I overheard the lady say she was not able to go down the stairs; at that point, an employee asked the couple to follow him. Within minutes, we noticed the couple was being escorted to a table in the lower level. I mentioned this to our server (Denise L) who said they have an elevator. It was never offered to me as an option. She said that it was darker downstairs (I had been using my phone flashlight because I needed light to read the menu) and she noticed I needed more light. When we came in and I said I was not able to walk down the stairs, she never offered me the elevator option; at that point, she did not know I was going to need my phone’s flashlight to read the menu.We ordered the bone marrow escargot as an appetizer. The sauce was tasty but heavy and I couldn’t even see the escargots.I really enjoyed the chicken pot pie. The portion was big. I thought I was not going to be able to eat it all but I was wrong. I ate it all.After we finished our dinner, we stayed in the surrounding area for quite a while. We ended up walking by this restaurant three more times and we noticed all the tables we had been told were reserved, were actually still empty.Overall, this place has good food and the unique decorations are charming. However, it is not a warm, welcoming establishment. It is not hospitable.
I've lived in the Doylestown area for many years and had never been to this restaurant. I loved the atomsphere and the service was great. A bit of disappointment with the food as my wife and son were disappointed with the salmon Benedict and vegetable mash. I am hoping our next visit will have a better outcome as I don't feel one visit is enough to make a final judgment.

Awesome restaurant in the center of Doylestown. Great lunch spot for homemade soup & sandwich5
Located in Doylestown proper. Enjoyed lower level dining room for lunch. Really enjoyed the seafood chowder. I wish there was a little more seafood in it but the flavor was excellent overall.
Love to come here as they always change up the menu which makes it always interesting. The quality of food is just outstanding in the atmosphere is very comfortable.
Gem of a restaurant! Great food & cool atmosphere! We highly recommend it! Stayed at the Doylestown inn & got a 20% discount on our bill. ??
An awesome brunch, great Irish Coffee and friendly service
