  I have been here now twice, and the food quality and service are absolutely excellent. Once I ordered the plain aebelskivers with an egg and sausage, and the second time I ordered sausage and havarti stuffed aebelskivers. They are delicious, authentic and very unique. Both of the servers I had were incredibly friendly and did not leave me waiting. My gripes mainly come down to the menu. AI images are all over the thing. It's honestly off-putting with trypophobia inspiring bread and cartoonish berries. The menu is full of text explaining that the prices are a little bit high but it's completely justified because they value feeding their customers healthy/nourishing food, and taking care of our environment. I don't know if that's an accurate read of the restaurant ethos, but that was my interpretation. embracing AI image generation is both culturally unhealthy and bad for the environment. additionally, real images build credibility with customers. The real life plating I saw on my and others tables was for more appealing. That, and eight dollar orange juice. It's "market price" which I completely understand. I just can't recommend anyone else order it especially as long as it's served room temperature.

  This review is in response to Armani Cruz. I’m not writing this review because I had a terrible experience. I’m not writing this review because the staff and the food was so disappointing. I’m not even writing this review because we were told a half hour after we ordered that one of the items that we had ordered couldn’t be filled. I’m not writing this because of how outrageous the prices are. ( I mean, really, $5 to put whipped cream on something). I’m not even writing it because of the lack of concern and interest reflecting on the face of the man up at the hostess station seating people. No, I’m writing this because of the response that the owner made to Armani Cruz’s review. . All the owner did was toot his own bugle, raving about his restaurant, the food, particularly that they get their meat locally. I don’t really feel like I can believe him that he gets locally source meat… but maybe. This response was 100% in contradiction to the review and didn’t address not one of the reviewers concerns. PLEASE DON’T USE AI TO RESPOND TO A CUSTOMER’S REVIEW.

  We had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated which is expected at a place like this. When we did get seated it was a while before we got our order taken. The biggest issue was we had all ordered at the same time my sister's meal came out we were all waiting an additional 20 minutes before we flag down a server to ask her how long it would be for our food to get there only to be told in that moment that they could not make the accommodations that I asked for about my omelette. So we were there for almost an hour with none of us being able to eat. When we told him that we would rather just cancel or order so that we can leave because we had other things to do. The manager wouldn't even make eye contact with us. They were extremely dismissive and I felt completely unheard and unseen. Which I can understand they were busy this is true. But that is no way to do business. I also found out the reasons why they couldn't accommodate my omelette is because they're using a premade meat mix. I've never felt more unwelcome. I will definitely not be back.

  Today we dined at the old European restaurant. And I wish I could say it was a pleasant experience, but it was far from it. Not only did my table wait an extremely long time for our food. It was all out of order. I was given my food for over 15 minutes while no one else in the party had any meals. It wasn’t until I flagged down a server and asked, that we discovered they had yet to start making our food because they Couldn’t accommodate a request. However, by this time we had already waited for over 40 minutes and multiple people that had been seated after us were already finishing their meals. At this point, we were very tired and very hungry. But no one from management came to speak to us. In fact, they were incredibly dismissive. We simply paid for our drinks (very expensive drinks) and the cold food I was provided and left. No attempt was made to fix the situation, No apology was provided. It was a bad experience with bad customer service and bad food. (What little we had) I will not be going back anytime soon nor will I be recommending this place to anyone else.

  After hearing people in Pullman talk so highly about this establishment, my family finally decided to go and give it a try. It was the most subpar disgusting meal I have ever received from a restaurant. Firstly, the drinks on the menu are overly complex, an attempt to seem elegant and justify the insane prices. A disgusting drip coffee was $5, and that’s coming from someone’s whose coffee or choice every morning is Folgers. The “fresh squeezed orange juice” was $8, served in maybe a portion of 6 ounces, warm, and with no ice. Then two of us each ordered the European Breakfast which we both got with eggs, bacon/sausage, hash browns, and toast. Nothing on my plate even resembled anything close to warm. My eggs must have been cooked under a heat lamp and seasoned with thoughts, as it was barely cooked and had zero seasoning. Literally what restaurant cannot make fried eggs? My hash browns were raw, and unsurprisingly at this point, cold, unseasoned, and not a single part of them were crispy. My toast was toast, although it was served with “jam” that was pureed so aggressively I thought it was a pink hot sauce of some sort. The bacon and sausage were both okay. I ordered a side of the biscuits and gravy, which was so criminal I wouldn’t serve it to my dog in fear of it killing her. Whatever my “biscuits” were, did not resemble a biscuit at all - and instead was a flat round thing that tasted like nothing but flour and had a pasty consistency. Brownies made in an easy bake oven come out with better consistency and flavor. The gravy tasted like nothing and was as thick as glue. The prices of everything on the menu were outrageous for the quality of food we received. They also charge for any slight change without warning, and paying $5 to add whip cream to French toast is insanity. When we voiced concerns about our meal, our waitress gave us each a $5 coupon for the next time we decide to visit the restaurant. With zero hesitation, we all left those coupons on the table after we finished paying full price for a meal I could make better blindfolded in a kitchen. Those coupons were utterly pointless as we will definitely never be returning, and giving them to anyone else to use there would just be cruel.
