    Came here (for the first time) with 2 friends for Sunday morning breakfast at 9am. I had made a reservation (which was recommended) and really didn't need it at that hour. Got a ni e tanle right by the front window. However, if we had wanted to meet at 10am, no reservation would have been a problem. It was VERY busy by then. Food - American breakfast (bacon, eggs, toast, cheesy hash browns or fruit) and breakfast burrito (Huge!) were delicious. Coffee was great. Service was outstanding. Ambiance delightful. Noise was not a problem ... although our talking and laughter might had annoyed others. (Sorry, but we had a LOT of catching up to do.) 😒 Well definitely be back! 🥰

    Busy night and had a reservation. We were sat within 5 minutes from the reservation time. We were greeted right away and our drink order was taken. When the drinks were delivered, our server answer some questions on the menu, and we ordered our dinner. We ordered the Roasted Chicken dinner and the Salmon bowl. The food arrived within 20 minutes . The food looked great and tasted as it looked. Had a great time and experience

    My server was absolutely amazing. She was the nicest person ever and so lovely and great attentiveness and just truly a dream server. I wish I could remember her name offhand, but she was just the epitome of what you expect when you’re eating at a restaurant. I hope she’s the one who trains others
