"Part 2 Made it back for our second visit. The place still seems shorthanded but the one guy on the floor seemed to make everything happen in rhythm. Didn't get a refill but in his defense I didn't try to hard to get his attention. My wife and I split one of our favorite sandwiches the Ruben. The pastrami had a fair amount of meat and was sliced very thin. It looked more fatty than I like and was a little concerned when I saw it. The first bite had a very flavorful fresh taste, cheese was melted and good homemade (? I should have asked) sauerkraut. My wife stated it had the fresh taste of some of the farm-to-table place we go to and she stated "all this seems to made fresh in-house. Pickles on the plate were homemade, stronger than normal cucumber taste for a pickle but good. The fries were fresh as well. Overall, once again, it's a place you have to try. Part 1 My first time visiting, the parking garage was around the back, and an entrance from inside the garage made it an easy park and walk. They seemed short staffed only by me watching our server take orders, clean tables, fill drinks, and have a great conversation with whoever would engage. Our waiter was funny, very attentive, and offered advice when we asked, etc. They weren't supper busy, but I felt for everyone... they were working hard and didn't show it. OK... the food came. My wife and I shared the French Toast. Made from ciabatta, two long slices cut in half, with whipped cream, blueberries and strawberries, and a dusting of powder sugar. It was so good neither of us used the maple syrup. We also shared an order (4) of bacon. It was slightly smokey and very good. My wife likes it crispy as do most, I like mine done but not crispy. It was my way, so make sure you ask for crispy if that's your preference. We will be going back soon to try other things. It appears they have a lot of egg options as well. This is a must try place!"
"A delightful breakfast place, quiet in the early morning. Bright and inviting inside, and the wait staff was attentive and friendly. Food? Extraordinary. I had a wonderful omelet with turkey bacon and hashbrowns, lightly browned and delicious. Coffee and orange juice. I'll return with my wife!!"
"This place was actually perfect. It had a sense of familiarity. The food was top grade. The servers were so nice. I had breakfast potatoes with sausage omelette. my friend had the pancakes. I have never tasted pancakes that taste so nice. it was fluffy buttery and something you can imagine eating for the rest of your life. a potato tasted fresh and crispy. Our server took into mind that we do not eat pork, and took the time to give us something tasty and delicious. Hundred out of hundred will come again."
"We walked in on a Sunday morning and we were able to get a spot at the breakfast bar. Very fast paced atmosphere and kind of loud with the espresso machine behind the bar. Coffee drinks were fantastic and the pancake flight was a fun menu addition. We will be back to try other menu items!"
"I was so impressed with our breakfast here today. It was my first time making it in and I can’t understand why it wasn’t on my radar. The waitress was so attentive and helpful with suggestions, something that’s very important to my indecisive self. All of the meals ordered were delicious, especially my Benedict! The bloodies with their house mix were also delicious, and loved the unique garnishes."
