We had a late breakfast/brunch on a Sunday. The ginger lemonade seemed watered down and with scant flavor. My girlfriend had a quinoa oatmeal with little flavor and a very unsatisfyingly small portion size. I had the brioche French toast and it was a bit dry. The tiny pitcher of maple syrup was inadequate so needed a second. On the... More

Having enjoyed weekday breakfasts here, we were looking forward to Sunday brunch/breakfast here. I don't know if it was the special event taking place outside on State Street, or perhaps a shortage of staff, but today's visit was very disappointing. A 20 minute estimated wait for a table turned into almost 1 hour, then we were offered a table for... More

What a find! We were welcomed by a great waitress, Vivian and took her suggestions for the bacon biscuits to start. I was a little skeptical until I took my first bite. Delicious! I could have had more. They were fabulous. Their coffee was great and hot. We shared a Mexican breakfast and enjoyed every bite. They also brought a... More

We were a party of 6 plus 3 dogs. We were welcomed and offered the option to wait a few minutes for a lovely table in a private part of the courtyard which was roofed (it was drizzly out) so the dogs could accompany us. They even brought home-made dog biscuits! The special menu for Easter offered several choices for... More

Patio area perfect for eating. The food is delicious and fresh. The quinoa oatmeal is wonderful. Loved the maple bacon biscuit. My husband enjoyed the shrimp and grits. Service was friendly and prompt.

We read about the rave reviews on Trip Advisor before our trip. My wife and I had breakfast and were very impressed. My wife had the scrambled eggs with creamed spinach and aged-cheddar cheese. She chose the maple-bacon biscuit (different combination, but very good). I had the 2 eggs, which included a choice of sausage or bacon; fruit (strawberry, blueberry,... More

It is a bit off the beaten path but certainly worth the effort. One of the best breaskfasts my family and I have experienced. Great service with a most yummy menu. The party of three I was with all tried something different, we shared amongst ourselves and could not decide who's was more enjoyable

Everything about our brunch here was amazing. The patio area tucked into a little courtyard was a nice setting to enjoy the weather. We started with a biscuit sampler, it only came with 2 biscuits but the bacon biscuit was out of this world! We tried to go back just for this biscuit but unfortunately they were closed on Monday....
