    Service & seating was quick. Coffee came equally quick and menus. Ordering went well , however the hash browns were a minimal portion and cold, the ham/cheese omelet excellent, but the English muffin I asked to be well buttered was anything but!! Was also a bit surprised to hear the wait staff make a rather racist comment to a customer (as part of a conversation) that was easily overheard . In any case, the experience was definitely mixed, which is distinctly different from our prior experiences at the Cafe. I should also say my wife expressed that her food was ok.

    1st time dining, visiting from Chicago, family of 5 (kids 15, 13 and 13). Was concerned that the food would be average since the unique theme sells itself. Really enjoyed the “Bond Mi”—-brisket Vietnamese style. And as simple as cheese curds and pretzel bites seem, they were cooked perfectly—sauces were delicious! We enjoyed our time as private investigators after dinner. Highly recommend!

    Lobster Thermidor and wedge salad were excellent. Recommend reserving at the counter overlooking food prep area as they give a couple free goodies if you sit there. Also, if you stay at the Pfister Hotel, you don’t even need to go outside to access the restaurant.

    Service was great, food was well prepared. Chef was just a little too free with the salt. Otherwise it would be 5 stars.

    This place was so tasty for brunch! We started out with the fried green tomato appetizers and we could have just gotten those, we got pretty full. 4 large fried green tomatoes on top of a spicy sauce and goat cheese grits (the best!). I got a grain bowl with extra avocado which was so good and then we got a traditional breakfast but added loaded potatoes (bacon and sauce on top), I would highly recommend. I would come back to this place. Service was great and attentive and lots of options (even if you are a vegetarian).
