Excellent service and food. We waited about 20 minutes for our table, but we were helped quickly and received our meals shortly after. My boyfriend ordered half the corned beef hash and it was super filling that he was able to take home the leftovers. I ordered the lobster benedict, which was fantastic. The entire staff was extremely helpful, kind, and fast. Highly recommend!

Had brunch with a buddy. Sat in the downstairs area, extremely close to other guests, but this joint is small so it's expected. The staff is warm and friendly. I asked the waiter about the bread they serve and one of the cooks took the time to talk about it and even brought out a loaf to show me.
The food is great! I had 2 blueberry and lemon French toasts (be aware that the slices are huge) with a side of delicious, crispy pig.
By buddy had the an omelet (with the kitchen sink thrown in) and the blueberry pancakes. They didn't disappoint! The food was hot and cooked to order.
If I'm ever in Portland again, I'm hitting this place for breakfast.

I had high hopes for this place but was disappointed in the slow service and lack of care and control of the establishment. It was small quarters in this location. And it was full of loud out of control screaming children. The people that came here had no regard for the other patrons that wanted to enjoy their meals. The staff was about 6 young girls who were not really doing much of anything. We waited over 30 mins to get our food and we saw other people that came in after us get their food first and leave before us. The food came out lukewarm like it was sitting there waiting for one of the girls to decide to pick it up and bring it to us only after I had to ask if we should leave. Regarding the food, the strawberries and cream French toast was great but came out lukewarm. The crab cake was not good too much dill was used I couldn’t eat it. And the lobster scramble ($30)was ok but over priced and not enough lobster compared to other places that are priced much better. This place is definitely charging way too much for their food. I have no problem paying for great food but this was not worth it unfortunately. The terrible customer service and loud atmosphere really ruined the meal for us.

Breakfast was phenomenal! My favorite was the Strawberry French toast. Everything else was also delicious. A little bit on the pricey side and a 90 minute wait for a table. Even though every table was taken, the staff worked really hard and really fast. Food was served within 30 minutes of ordering. Considering how busy it was that is really fast! Staff was very nice and professional! Loved everything about this place from the way it was designed to the service we where provided. Will come again.

Loved this place! Ordered the avocado toast which was incredible! However, in the description it said there was black truffle in the avocado mash, but I didn’t taste it at all which was a little disappointing. Still giving this place 5 stars for its great service, cozy atmosphere, and amazing food!

There's almost always a 30-45 min wait upon arrival, but it is so worth it. This is another one of those hidden gems in Portland. The food is always fantastic, I mean there has never been a case where I not amazed by how good everything tasted. Consistency is hard to find.The servers and staff are friendly and helpful, parking nearby isn't so bad.
In terms of location, this area does have a lot of activity across the street and by the nearby gas station. It has never bothered me but may deter some from standing outside and waiting for a table.

Had the lobster eggs Benedict and it was breathtaking. It was my first experience with Maine lobster and can safely say the hype surrounding it is completely valid. The service was great and the atmosphere of the restaurant was cute. Will definitely stop by again!

Such a delicious breakfast spot in Portland! The lobster scramble was so delicious! Delaney was a fantastic waitress for us, and the food was a highlight. We will be recommending everyone to this spot! Although get there early because the line goes out the door!

Coming from out of state we were walking by and decided to stop in and we couldn't be more pleased with how friendly the man up front as well as waitstaff were. They greeted us so warmly and were so attentive to our needs--even giving us suggestions for some sight seeing in the area. The food was absolutely amazing. From the presentation of how it was served on the plate and the taste of everything was cooked to perfection and delicious. I haven't experienced brunch like that before, it was so reasonably priced and the best one had. I would recommend anyone in the area or visiting to stop in here! ��

We were in town for a basketball tournament and had to get breakfast out on Sunday morning, June 11. We went there on a recommendation from a friend.
The entire experience was tremendous! The Eggs Benedict was fantastic as were all the other breakfast meals everyone in our party ordered and the one cinnamon bun pancake ordered for all of us (and shared) was incredible! The mimosa was great! Definitely on our list to go back and visit. We ate outside on the lower patio and it was just a great experience across the board. The boys ended up winning their basketball bracket that afternoon. Don't know if it was because of the breakfast they had LOL. Definitely a must visit!

David Seaton
Excellent food. Good selection. Kind and attentive staff. Only thing to consider is price. Nearly $100 for four people to have breakfast. Yikes!!!

Always amazing, affordable food and delicious beverages. My favorite brunch place in Portland. The only thing I don't like is the wait to get a table!!!
Lindsay Hsieh
That food was the best we had in Maine, hands down! Wonderfully fresh and perfectly executed in every way. Every bite was delicious and the service was great, too!
Bonnie Leathers-Boucher
The wait was reasonable, pleasant and well worth it. They offer their own blend if freshly ground Coffee for the wait . Staff and service is above and beyond friendly and professional, and the food is just the best breakfast food around AMAZING��

We went there Father's day as we were in town just to get away! It was the most amazing experience and our server was awesome. We will probably make the hour drive at least once a month just to have breakfast!!
Matthew Bowden
I usually love this place. I was having a craving for steak benedict so I ordered take out. I waited close to 20 min before even getting acknowledged, the whole time my order sat there. There were two waiters conversing, never asking if I’ve seen the host. When I asked, I was told he was upstairs and would be down shortly. When he came down, he gave my bill and card to one of the waiters mentioned. Really?
Kayla Kimball
We ate there today for the first time and it was hands down the best breakfast I've ever had...well worth the long wait time!
