A wonderful find, once we found it, tucked away in a rather quiet corner of a busy city. This 1800's building that once housed a public school and then a doctor's office boasts a nice garden patio, small bar area as you walk in, and cozy dining area that seats maybe 20 people. The service was very friendly, quick, and efficient. The prices were very reasonable. The menu held something for everyone. Great choices. The burger was the best ever. Cooked perfectly! The homemade salsa was awesome as well. Wished we lived closer so we could return to this great place more often!

Fantastic breakfast for a group of 6 with very diverse tastes. We ended up ordering the gamut from traditional eggs and bacon, to crab cakes benedict, crepes, and oatmeal pancakes. Everything was hot and delicious, and the servers were attentive but not annoying. Plenty of coffee and a cute space. They also listed some amazing looking breakfast cocktails, but I was driving 3 hours so could not indulge.

We were seated right away, probably time of day worked in our favor - around 1:00 on a sunday - service was good- food took awhile to come out but it wasnt a horrible wait - the food it self was good too. The two complaints i have are - food was all over the floor from previous patrons - not just in one area but in several and no one in hour or so that i was there cleaned up any of it. Sloppiness in the eating area makes me wonder about cleanliness of the kitchen. :/ Also - one of the bathrooms smelled like dog sh*t, literally. Maybe someone brought it in on the bottom of their shoe or maybe that's how it smells in there but it was bad. This was my first time there - I'd go back but if i felt cleanliness was an issue a second time, that would be it.
