Always an excellent choice for brunch! Food quality is fresh and flavorful. I struggle with not getting the same thing every time because their chicken sandwich is the best in the city.

What a fun surprise! Our first visit will not be our last… everything that came out of the kitchen looked delicious. We ordered the summer salad which was great and the French omelette with mushrooms and cheese and it was so light and fresh. Will return soon!

We were seated almost immediately after checking in because we had a reservation. We reserved outdoor seating because we had our dog with us. It was a windy day, but the patio area was not affected thankfully. Also I appreciate that the patio has a mesh covering along the sides so the bees don’t get tempted to get on our food. Food was great and the people (servers and customers) were friendly and kind. Pancakes were a good big size. Food also came out fairly quickly. Will definitely be returning for brunch again.
