The place was my favorite Sunday breakfast place until today. I haven't been here in months but the cashier didn't know the menu. He didn't seem excited about having guest or in being there. After ordering coffee, the urn turned out to be empty and he seemed indifferent and snickered with the cooks about the situation. It's amazing how poor customer service can ruin the experience.

We had a great expectations to try and taste something new. Unfortunately the whole experience is awful. The place does look good but what about food ?Salad bar - please go to salad class. Boring and poor selection with cold tasteless soup and dirty surrounding. Fish fry ? Please send someone to the fish fry class. That is not fish at all! It is an unfrozen cheese stick! Very poor place. Never again. Too sad

Maybe it was our waitress...or maybe it was the fact we had a party of 6 on a Saturday night... perhaps reality is truth and the restraunt is mediocre at best...The food is so dated...almost every entree is topped with an arugula salad...and everything was so salty!! The level of salt was almost inedible...With so many options... itâs just easier going somewhere else!!Hereâs my pic of my Chicken Milanese....

My daughter in law ordered a chicken salad dish. It arrived with romaine lettuce. We questioned our waitress and she said she was not aware of any national recall of romaine lettuce.( it was day 3 of the recall) Later a woman ( a presumed manager) came to our table to tell us we were incorrect and that there wasnât any national recall.She went on to say that they only use reliable local suppliers and they would never give them bad products. Unbelievable.

Nice local brewery. I like the session and the IPA. The food comes from next door. I liked the grilled cheese sandwich. Comes with fries. Laid back kind of place with some fun events.

The line at Egg Harbor was out the door,so we walked over a feet and turned brunch into lunch. Good burger (pretzel roll) and fries, big screen TV with sports. Both families and Lake Forest College students there. Jeanette our server was nice. It's close to the college and there is plenty of parking. I was temped to try the Chicken Salad or a Meatball sandwich, maybe next time.First off, TraderJoey, love it being my name is Joe! Thank you for the kind review! It's not often that our restaurant takes business from Egg Harbor, they have great food and the best breakfast in town. However, when you are looking for sports, pizza, big salads and an awesome burger, we are the go to spot and I'm glad you were able to come in and see that, and we hope to see you soon....with your college friends. Don't forget that next time you are in, show your college I.D. and you receive a 10% discount on your entire check, including alcohol if your of age. Cheers!

First time visiting the new location for lunch with Coworkers.Friendly staff, great food, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I'll put their burgers against anybody's. They are delicious! .Everything is prepared with the attention it deserves. I love that there is always someone walking by to check on us, making sure we have everything we need. We will keep coming back!

Located in the secluded lower levels of the wonderful Deer Path Inn, this restaurant's atmosphere is warm and unintimidating. Service is excellent and friendly and you can actually chose from 2 menus: one from this restaurant, the other from its adjacent cousin, more of a wine bar. Salads were fresh and inviting, the little burgers (see photo) delicious, and the Chilean sea bass with risotto absolutely stellar. Great dessert too (see photo of orange cream creme brulee). Wine selection was quite exhaustive, although I am told the English Room restaurant that sits above much more upscale) has a terrific wine list, praised by Wine Spectator. All in all, a really nice experience that we would highly recommend.
