Came here with my sister and her family when I was in town visiting. The service was very poor. The wait was 15 min which wasn’t too bad. But once we were seated they took forever to take our order. And two families were seated after us and served their food before us. We finally got our food after waiting 40 min (mind you, we had 3 adults and one child in our party). When we finally got our food, my omelette arrived burnt from the pan, and I had to peal the entire exterior off just to eat it, because it wasn’t worth waiting another 30 min for them to remake it. It was awful. And the worst part is that we had my 2 year old niece with us and her kids meal (2 chocolate chip pancakes) arrived last, and well after us. ??‍♀️ They dropped the ball for sure. Will not be back, and wouldn’t recommend for friends and family.

Finally was able to eat at this place. Each time we've tried, the wait is so long that we end up going somewhere else. This time we added our names to the waitlist from home. By the time we got there our table was ready. We only live a few minutes away.It was my birthday so I got a feee birthday crepe. I was actually surprised by the food. They have a seasonal menu right now so I was fortunate enough to try the smoked salmon Benedict. My partner had an omelet. Everything was delicious.Our waitress was Kim. She was nice enough.The space is clean and has a country feel to it. Not too noisy either. I'd recommend it, but definitely know there will be a wait.

Wait time was less than 5 minutes, we had great service and our breakfast was delicious.

THEY ARE THE SWEETEST! I felt so comfortable with the staff here - our waitress was the best - I'll be sure to edit if I remember her name.My partner got a Dutch baby that was amazing and I got a simple potato + eggs with a small side of banana. It all was AMAZING (the banana was perfectly ripe!) I ate the leftovers same day! I think the toast could be a little toastier - but that's a hard one to balance so I get it. :^)

So Iv ordered here before a couple years ago and it was great. Ordered literally the same thing I did today, the potatoes were nicely seasoned, scrambled eggs cooked through and a little fluffy, but when I ordered it today it tasted like they grabbed a potato from the back and just mashed it on the grill and put in my box, the scrambled eggs were still super runny like they barely had them on for 30 seconds, and if I’m not mistaken usually when someone orders scrambled it’s because they want them to be cooked through, not runny like a sunny side up or over easy. The bacon was fantastic though, and the pancakes were good

Clean, good service, good food, a little pricey but this is the only corn beef and hash I’ll eat!

This is a great place to enjoy breakfast.They cater to many dietary restrictions and allergies, and the service is most welcoming.Also the decoration, ambiance and cleanliness of the entire place make it very enjoyable.My server was Kim R and she was great.

It was quite expensive and my husband and I were not very happy with the food. My husband's eggs were under done and a bit slimy. We were not impressed with the sausage gravy. It had a weird sweet taste to it. My husband's pancakes didn't come out until 20 min after we had been served our meal. He likes to eat them with his eggs over top of them, so when they finally did come out he was left with cold, slimy, undercooked eggs to eat with them. I got the pumpkin pancakes, which were delicious. Just not worth the $70 we spent.

Manager uses the restroom and doesn't wash his hands. When he was playing host he kept mismanaged the wait times,we were told 30 minutes; it turned into an hour in a half. Only reason I gave 2 stars was the server, she did an awesome job and the food was alright. I don't think I'll ever return.

My husband and I always have excellent service here from all the servers. I love private businesses like these because everything is always an order and well organized. The food is always well-made and I love the fresh orange juice!
