Always a great experience at Hazelwood; excellent food, attentive and smart service. Timing one's visit is crucial, though, because the restaurant fills at about noon and the noise can be extreme. Still, it is a great place to bring visiting, or curious, friends. We'll be back soon!

Great service! Wonderful food. We had the scone charcuterie with scones and lovely toppings. We had pancakes with bananas, nuts and caramel syrup. We had a steak and eggs breakfast with hash towns and toast. Lovely food, quiet atmosphere, will return! Want to try other mealtimes as well.
