    Our server's vibrant energy and warm friendliness enhanced the already delightful experience of dining in the garden area. The garden setting, with its sunlit glass enclosure, created a truly charming ambiance. The food was fresh and delicious. We sampled a variety of dishes, including the light and creamy citrus herb hummus, the front street breakfast, the breakfast sandwich, and the whole grain banana hotcake. The portions were generous. While the hotcake was delicious, I'd request the toppings on the side next time to avoid over-saturation. We will definitely return to explore more of their unique menu.

    All of our food came out at one time and hardly fit on our tiny table. No one took any of our empty plates until we were totally finished eating. We had to stack them up and get creative to have room to eat. The vegan mouse was not set and more like a loose pudding and my coffee was cold. We’ve been here many times and were very disappointed.

    Have a severe tree-nut allergy and had a very pleasant experience. They are extremely accommodating to allergies. The loaded fries are great!

    Really great food and generous portions. The service was great considering how busy it was and she was very friendly. It is loud indoors but also have a large patio. Very enjoyable overall for Sunday family lunch
