You know a place is good when you see the mayor meeting with people in here! We had breakfast here and it was so delicious. I got the Woodfire Grill eggs benedict. The food came out super quick too! Do beware, just because the coffee mugs are already on the table doesn't mean the coffee is free 😆

Excellent food and service. Our server, Izzy, was spot on when I asked for recommendations. Pictured here is the Chicken mushroom pizza and the orange creamsicle. My only callout is the pizza being a bit too tough to bite into; so I ended up wasting the crust. Looking forward to returning.

I quite enjoyed. This is greasy spoon style breakfast! I ordered the Cajun and was surprised how much I liked it. I'm from Louisiana and there's nothing Cajun about it, but it was darn good 👍. It could definitely be split between 2 people. Massive. I was able to add a pancake which made it a perfect breakfast.

I had a delightful experience. The atmosphere was cozy and sophisticated. We were warmly greeted by a gentleman in a suit who, along with our waitress, checked on us regularly. Excellent customer service all around. Highly recommended!

We loved everything! The calamari/shrimp/veggie appetizer was delicious. The steak salad and wood fired chicken were very good. We also had wine, an Old Fashioned, Irish Coffee and the Apple Crisp. It was very reasonable for all we had to eat. We will be back!

Special thanks to the servers at the 2/21/25 Wedding Dinner. Steve and Lacy were excellent, in fact I can't remember when I have had such pleasant and efficient service. They anticipated our needs, and were very kind. There was also a young man named Abe, who helped with clearing plates and making our event run smoothly. I have recommended to my friends who are looking for an intimate gathering space. Thank you again!
