Very nice ambience and cozy place to hangout on a weekend. The staff was welcoming and made sure we were comfortable. They had a good selection of vegetarian options too. My personal favorites were the Tofu scrambler, Berries crepe , ginger splash and the coffee was amazing. Definitely recommend and would give a 5 star.

Enjoyed the outdoor seating and the food was really good. I will confess the coffee was exceptionally acidic and not very good, but didn't ruin the brunch by any means. Not very quick service, but for brunch that gives you more time to enjoy company. Service speed doesn't affect my rating, but you should be aware this isn't a "quick bite" place. Definitely worth a try

Nice little breakfast cafe next to the hotel we were staying at, and servers are attentive. The food was great, mostly the Americana menu, but overall, it is a good place to grab a bite if you're in the area. I do recommend ghe cherry-chicken sausage. The portions are good size, and you will not feel like you are overpaying.

Got the Irish Benedict and it was very tasty. This restaurant is great for groups with big round tables and comfy booths. Getting to the bathroom is interesting as you have to go to the front desk, get a key card, and go to the hotel next door - but you don't have to go outside. Very clean overall. White tablecloths and napkins are pressed and have no crumbs or spots. Staff was friendly.

It's a really beautiful place. Well kept & maintained. The food was great, we got the "Down on the Farm" (front) & "Eggs your way". Really good, portions were generous. Menu ranges from breakfast, brunch, lunch, & some dinner options. Along with Vegetarian options. Would come by again if in the area. 1 star lost since even though our waiter constantly kept coming to us, eventually it got busy & she forgot about us. After many waiters passed by us even when it was obvious we finished, one of them told us to go to the front & pay there, he told us what table & when coming up to the front, they were confused. No communication between each other but it was paid & check receipt to make sure it is what we ordered & not some others table.
