The service was so, so unbelievably slow. We went for brunch on a Saturday, and it took 10+ minutes for our server to great us. It was sort of busy, so we understood. We ordered drinks, and our server brought my girlfriend an empty champagne flute (she got a big-bottom mimosa). The flute sat empty for 15 minutes before the mimosa carafe was brought over. We were both surprised this took so long, and it was a harbinger of things to come. We ordered the French toast donut appetizer - this was phenomenal, and saved this review from a single star. The main courses we ordered took 40 minutes to get to us. Our server didnt even check once with us or apologize for any sort of delay. When we got the food, after about an hour and 15 minutes, it was just ok. My eggs were overlooked, and her salad had almost no dressing on it. When we were done, it took about 10-15 minutes for our plates to be cleared, and another 10 minutes to get the check. When our server dropped the check off, she said "Its been an absolute pleasure." - no, no it has not. Not for us and probably not for her, either. Needless to say, we wont be back. The service was so slow and inadequate, and the location feels very removed from anything nice about Harrisburg. Cruise past this one on your list of brunch spots - Im sure there are better places for your money to be spent.

Weve been here a few times with an overall good experience. Service is a bit slow at times. In a larger party of 10 this past Saturday was no different. It took over 90 min to get our main entree. Drinks were slow to be made and brought and water must have been rationed. The waitress would pour us half a class and leave the 2 inches of what was left in one carafe on the table for all to share. Most all the food was enjoyable, The crab cake hand held was majorly disappointing. The bun to meat ratio was off and when the bottom of the bun is bigger than the crab cake, its not a good sign. The Eagle in Linglestown has a great, crabbie cake with huge hunks of meat, this felt like an afterthought or they ran out of crab. Spotty at best with small chunks. Hand cut fries are delish. The coffee rubbed bison ribeyes were said to be very tasty as was the rest of the food. Be warned, it is very difficult to hear the servers due to the open loft room. We will be back but it will be a while.

Our company had our company party there on 12/12/2015. The staff was well organized and helped us with the menu every step of the way. When the day came for the food we decided on a fix menu. Everything went off without a hiccup. The rib eye was cooked to perfection despite having to cook over 25 of them. The appetizers are still being raved about (Shrimp corn dogs and baked mac and cheese) The apple turnover for desert was icing on the cake. Me and my wife have been to the restaurant a few times and we personally think its the best spot in Harrisburg. This place will not disappoint and might even surprise any foodie.

Best breakfast/brunch fare in Harrisburg. . .east or west shore. Spacious with superb staffing and an ever changing artistic decor. Timely casual live entertainment to brighten a morning. The Bloody Mary drink is the most superb mixture from any dining experience from any city I have ever visited. To sample that wonder blend alone is worth the trip. Five stars is not enough to rate this place.

This place is quickly becoming my favorite brunch spot in Harrisburg. The food is excellent and the portions are a little larger and cost slightly less than other nearby places of similar quality. I love that they have more elaborate pairings of foods as well. Their salmon eggs Benedict, corned beef hash, and fried chicken with gravy over cornbread waffles are all to die for.

Went during happy hour and our drinks (which were crafted there) were a dollar or less! My friend had her drink completely comped! Not sure if that was intentional, but we didnt argue lol the food was very good although limited as they were missing ingredients for several dishes. The atmosphere is very nice and trendy. Would love to have another girls night there sometime.

Okay, so if you visit the city or live nearby, you have to stop in for lunch and/or dinner. The creative menu ever changing seasonally by Ben Beaver is one that you must come back time and time again to try everything that is on it. And the amazing mixologist behind the bar, Chae Kim, keeps making beyond amazing cocktail creations you have to sample often.

An upscale cafe with an airy atmosphere. I ordered the asparagus frittata which came with a potato cake. The frittata was served steaming hot right out of the oven & was a very large portion! The potato cake was delightfully crispy on the outside & fluffy on the inside. The coffee is from St. Thomas Roasters (a local shop).

This place has an incredible menu that changes every season. Great staff both service and behind the bar. Ive eaten here probably 2 dozen times and have never had a bad meal. Sunday brunch is great. Dont forget to get a special cocktail.

Wonderful brunch menu. Che took great care if us. Food was very good. Mushroom omelette and egg BLAT were tasty. French toast bites are awsome for an app or dessert.

A great downtown cafe with a much more upscale menu than "cafe" implies. The food and cocktails are contemporary and delicious. I love the atmosphere here too.

Unusually good (but expensive) for Harrisburg. Feels along the same lines as Millworks.
