    I’ve always loved the food and atmosphere here. This time, the food was “meh”. I ordered the chicken and waffles. Chicken was crispy and tasty but the waffle was super disappointing - soggy and melted into mush. Drink and pop tarts were good, as usual. At minute 61, (I checked my watch) we were explicitly asked to vacate the table, which was unpleasant. We were about to stand up and leave, after my guest had returned from the restroom, but were actively dismissed instead. I am very sensitive to the need to turn over tables during busy times, but we had not overstayed IMO. (Not had we been rude, loud, demanding, etc. No reason for the staff to wish us gone.) It felt a little like they should just install eviction chairs that pop at minute 61! It left us feeling unwelcome and unappreciated, in a neighborhood with tons of more welcoming meal options. We won't be going back.

    Great food and service as always. Our waiter, Michael, was very attentive without being overbearing.

    The best thing was the friendly staff--starting at the front desk and continuing with the servers.

    Food was delicious. I had the stroganoff. I recommend experiencing the cinnamon roll for the table (it’s huge). I love that they have all day breakfast. Also there is a great variety of selections on the menu. Overall I love this place will be my go to for brunch.

    The service was great, highly recommend a chocolate shake- we were in the mood for breakfast for dinner so it was perfect- a solid dinner experience.

    Everything I tried was disgusting. Macaroni, truffle balls, pancakes, and the fried chicken honey sandwich was burnt
