    The menu has so many great options, hard to decide! I got the deviled egg sandwich, 3 out of 5 wasn't creamy like deviled eggs. I would totally come back, service and atmosphere is great!

    I went on New Year’s Day in the morning for my wedding anniversary, and it didn’t disappoint. I have a 2-1/2 year old and eating out can be challenging. The seating was comfortable, the kids menu had good options, and other families made me feel like I was in the right place to enjoy an upscale breakfast with my family. Will be going again for special occasions when I want a nice breakfast that I know everyone will love.

    Poor service- forgotten drinks, inattentiveness, unfriendliness, and just getting miserable vibes from the waitstaff. Celebrated my family member’s birthday and there was no acknowledgement. They never brought out her drink either. When we mentioned we didn’t need it anymore at the end of the meal, the server denied us ordering it and then later backtracked her statement saying she did indeed forget. Layout is odd in this restaurant. Table was very close to a serving station of some sort, and I mean uncomfortably close to it. While sitting, behind me was an open to the dining room kitchen. Very loud. They used the shelf behind me as a space to store plates and each time a stack of a dozen or so plates was set down on the stainless steel it was quite loud. Food is alright. Depends on what you order and your preferences! Don’t go ordering the biscuit and gravy expecting biscuits. It’s actually biscuit. ONE biscuit. $16 for two eggs, hash-browns, and one biscuit. Quite disappointing. $4 for a seasonal fruit. Not sure why I thought a fruit cup was a normal breakfast side. It was just half frozen, sugar glazed strawberries and blueberries. Maybe they should clarify it is for French toast or waffles. Lastly, my bill was incorrect. Tell me why a $16 biscuit and gravy, $19 chicken fried steak and eggs, and a $4 seasonal fruit was $51 before tip? No beverages were ordered. Server had us pay the bill on her little iPad thing so of course we weren’t able to see an itemized bill or get a receipt. When I then questioned it and everyone else paid, she was no where to be found. Oh and the owners are frauds. Wont be returning.
