Place is cute, food is decent, but not worth the bad service and long wait times. Servers take 20+ minutes to ask about drinks and longer to take order, then the food will take over 40 minutes once ordered. Today the entire place had weird energy bc it was 10:30AM, restaurant half empty, and all guests were waiting around for one thing or another. Servers act like it was the kitchen but they were some of the worst servers Ive ever experienced. If kitchen is struggling servers should be hustling to keep guests happy (biscuits on the house, mimosas, or just the courtesy of a water refill and an update). Just a mess. Ive tried this place twice. Same story both times. Both times I saw tables walk out while waiting for their order to be taken or food to come. Its a shame. If you come here youll have to flag someone down (or walk to the bar) and ask twice for everything you get.

The food looked great but I would not know how it tastes because I waited over an hour and ended up leaving. I wasnt alone since 3 other tables left after waiting over an hour without receiving their food. The staff was pleasant and trying their best but it appeared they where severally under-staffed and the kitchen was tragically mismanaged. Even a short staffed kitchen shouldnt take over an hour for eggs and hash. On the bright side the coffee was really good. My suggestion to the owner is to better train his kitchen staff and make sure that you have adequate staffing for your busiest times/days.

Completely agree with all other 1 star reviews. Had to seat ourselves, wait 45 minutes for 2 omelettes and hash. There were only four other couples at tables, 2 of which had already been served and were finishing. The order wasnt ready so I asked for it to go, took another 10 minutes and it wasnt even correct. I had already paid and the manager said she couldnt void my transaction. Extremely disappointed. The food that we did get was greasy, burnt, and soggy. Not returning and would not recommend.

A perfect place to bring clients, out of town guests, or a date! It has an intimate and well designed interior, and an incredibly crafted menu. Their flavor combinations are thoughtful, creative, and delicious. Small menu- everything is a good choice. Love the personal staff and chefs. Also appreciate that it is a place I can go and know that I will always be able to hear the other person talk. If you find yourself at this hidden gem, you must try the espresso!

Service was friendly but slow. Most of the tables were empty and it still took more than 40 minutes to get a few simple breakfast items. Also, the first couple things we tried to order they were all out of. Music was annoyingly loud too. Hash was sweet potato chunks with bacon that had been burnt. Pancakes were ok but it takes too long. Here is the cook sitting outside smoking, which might be why you have to wait so long to get served.

Its an inviting and bright space right near the water. They changed chefs, and I dont like the biscuits or sweet potato hash as much as I uses to, but still pretty good. Service is fairly slow, which is nice if youre lingering over a conversation, but a challenge if youre desparate for a coffee/water refill or to pay and get going.

Delicious and charming. Comfort food with a gourmet flair and some originality. The sweet potato hash with eggs is terrific! So many tempting (and even some healthy) things on the menu and all the prices are very reasonable. Basic but cozy décor and layout. And best of all they serve breakfast until 4pm!

A great place to grab fresh and hearty food. I love that the menu offers a decent amount of food choices and that their food is made with ingredients from local farms and businesses. A bit pricey, but worth the splurge very now and then for lunch.

Seat our selfs, long wait, not that good food, fries where terrible, salads bathed in oil and winners were not great either. They were out of fish, buns, burgers, and bacon. So we couldnt have 3/4 of the menu

Had a quick breakfast and was pleasantly surprised. Service was excellent and the food was even better. They had no problem accommodating a dairy allergy.

Beautiful location, great food --much of it locally sourced--and locally owned. Perfect place for a casual, relaxing breakfast, lunch, cocktail.

We like the ambience. However, at this very moment we are starving after having been waiting for about an hour for our food. Not cool.
