So lovely! The place is gorgeous to look at and the service was amazing. Food was both delicious and beautiful, such a great spot for downtown!
My brother and I just ate here for the first time. It should have five stars overall, but there are a couple of things holding it back that make it about 4.5ish.
First off, we were greeted very cheerfully by Mariha, who I later found out was the manager. She was smiling and polite and professional and was quite lovely. What a great first impression!
Our server, Cay, was also very chirpy and friendly; she seemed to have everything in hand with all the tables she was taking care of and still had some time to chat about key lime pie :).
The food was where there was room for improvement. My brother loved his Denver omelette and salad, and commented that the salad had the correct amount of salad dressing - not too much nor too little.
The eggs Benedict were quite good, although I'm not sure that was Bearnaise sauce. Nevertheless, the dish was rich, delicious as eggs Benedict is meant to be.
The letdown was the bacon. It was not thick cut as advertised so a little bit disappointing. But still, first world problems - it is bacon.
One other thing is the 5% charge for operating costs - it's on the menu. It goes entirely to the restaurant owners and I would imagine is to keep menu prices down(?). Still....
Overall, an enjoyable experience - coffee deserves a mention as well. The decor, location within the Hoxton Hotel, Mariha and Cay (who are the stars of the experience) will have me coming back at the next opportunity.
'You're basically regulars now!' - Mariha.
Well, we were made to feel that way.

That’s breakfast, jam is not real (there is water, it’s liquid) . Hash brown is raw. And extra small ;(
Coffee is bad .
I’m disappointed.
The total amount I paid 35$. I don’t think it worth it .
I’m sorry, but no, this is not a 4.8-star spot.
Starting with valet parking: the attendant was rude, and parking cost $21!!! for less than 1 hour. We’re in a downtown area with massive parking availability and empty lots everywhere. If you absolutely have to come here, park on the street for a few dollars and save yourself dinner money.
Service was prompt, but not especially friendly. No one seemed particularly happy to be there, with the exception of the manager. Furniture is already showing a need for reupholstering, specially the bar stools.
As for the food, it’s honestly something you could easily make at home. My oatmeal bowl was mostly a large lump of oats with very little fruit, about a quarter of a strawberry and one (yes, one) blackberry in a $9 bowl. It felt skimpy and disappointing. If you’re charging premium prices, at least don’t cut corners on something as basic as fruit.
Overall, this place just isn’t worth the drive or the hype. Definitely not deserving of its rating.

Moonlark’s Dinette instantly became one of my favorite spots in the city. The food here is incredible — every single dish was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection.
I tried several plates and honestly, each one surprised me in the best way. The ingredients taste super fresh, the flavors are bold without being overwhelming, and the presentation is beautiful. From the perfectly fried eggs to the stacked sandwiches and the chilaquiles, everything was memorable.
The service was just as impressive — friendly, attentive, and fast, which made the whole experience even better.
If you’re looking for a place that nails both quality and flavor, Moonlark’s Dinette is a must. I’d come back in a heartbeat.
