"Great food and great service. The smoked salmon benedict is amazing. Order the cheesy grits - you won't regret it. Our server, Josh, was incredibly patient and gracious with our semi-needy crew - MUCH appreciated."

"Had the Classic Egg Benedict, quite good, although the sauce for tomato is slightly sour. The coffee I would like to taste is running out, and the suggested minimal tip is 20%- I am not from NC so I am not sure whether that’s normal here, but 20%+ tip for breakfast is kind of weird to me. But overall I enjoy this place. The place is bigger than I thought and has a great atmosphere."

"Upon entering all the staff spoke and had inviting smiles. 11am Sunday morning; group of 8, we split up 4 and 4, so we didn't have a wait. Kyra, our waiter was professional and familiar with the menu. She helped us make the perfect selections, choosing the trifecta so we could try multiple items from the menu. Our food came out quick, and it was delicious. Kyra checked on us often and made sure we had everything we wanted. Since we were split up, I didn't get the guy who served the other group of 4. He was fantastic also, very familiar with the menu, and checked on them also. Towards the end, he let me try a drink hibiscis something, that drink was so refreshing I'm getting that instead of coffee when I return. The coffee was good even though im not a coffee drinker. It was fresh and available the entire time we were there. They validated parking for up to one hour, so our parking was free."

"Really nice place with relaxed atmosphere Good food for breakfast or brunch with friends or family Kids friendly I only had to wait a really long time to get our food after we were sitting … Staff is friendly and will recommend, hopefully next time won’t have to wait that much longer"

"Food and service were great! Especially our waitress Cameron who radiates positive vibes!"
