The presentation of the dishes was very nice, and the portion sizes were also good. As for the flavor, the food was acceptable; however, my plate was completely cold, which made it very unpleasant. Everything was cold: the potatoes, the eggs, the vegetables, and the bread.
The French toast was also disappointing. It was overly soaked, making the bread extremely soggy, which completely ruined the texture and made it very hard to enjoy.
Lastly, the tables were far too small and uncomfortable. It felt as though we were sitting right next to other families, to the point where we could clearly hear their conversations. Every time we needed to stand up or leave the table, we had to apologize to the people next to us because it was impossible to move without invading their personal space. To make matters worse, we ordered three different dishes, and they barely fit on the tiny table. At one point, we even had to place our plates on another table.
The only positive aspect of our visit was the service. The waiter who attended us was very attentive, kind, and professional throughout our meal. The customer service was excellent, and it is truly the only thing I would highlight from my experience at this restaurant.
Overall, it was not a pleasant lunch experience, and I would not return to this restaurant.

This place qas recommend by a local while I was visiting the city. I glad I went. I had a part of 4 and after about a 10 mins wait we were being seated. Our waitress was friendly and offered suggestions and answered our questions. Coffees, a bellini, and a strawberry/orange juice were ordered and everyone was pleased. The strawberry/orange juice was freshly squeezed. The portions are very generous here. The wrap I had was more than enough. The regular pancakes are huge. I got the mini stack and they were the size of regular pancakes for any other restaurant.

Stax. A little Italy gem that gives more each time. This is one of the unofficial breakfast joints for a lot of medical professionals. All of the meals here are amazing. I had the Spanish harlem which was phenomenal. Always recommend the mini waffles to go with it!

I love Stax. Everytime I have been it has been for brunch. The last time I took my mother, she is hard to please, and she throughly enjoyed Stax.
We had a caramel and vanilla hot latte, braised brisket hash, and I had the lumberjack skillet with mini pancakes. Everything was delicious.
I highly recommend

My favorite spot for breakfast! I normally do pickup, but a few times a month I Dine-in!
Staff is so friendly and attentive! Even when the restaurant is fully booked, their service is still fast! Drinks arrive within minutes, food arrives at table 10-15 mins after ordering.
Pickup orders are just as fast!
Diner utensils, cups, and dishes are ALWAYS clean.

This place was great. Average per person for us was $45. Had omelet with side of bacon. Bacon was a black forest bacon. Not my favorite lol but the food was great. Also loved the mini waffles. You have the option of mini waffles toast or mini pancakes. Staff was very friendly. The place is small and the tables are very snug. So be aware you will be very close to your neighbor.

I don’t do bad review, but I will let my peoples know when I run into a problem with a place.
Problem 1: Why do they charge for sugar free syrup??? I asked the question what would you say to a diabetic to the manager. He stated they would have to pay, because it cost more to buy sugar-free syrup. I’ve been eating with sugar-free syrup for over 28 years and I know it costs about the same.  His answer made the couple next to me get up and leave when they heard. The gentleman said he was a diabetic and he shouldn’t have to pay extra for sugar free syrup. I agree. Had I known before I ordered,I would’ve never order. Mind you, I have eaten here before. So this is new. I don’t eat regular syrup. The manager did tell the young lady to give me the sugar free syrup without a charge .
Problem 2: They left the Asparagus out of my vegetable skillet. Something that comes in that dish, not something that I added. I tell the waitress, then she brings me a small cup of asparagus end. If you’re asparagus eater, you know closer to the bottom they’re a little bit bitter. Not one piece of the top part was in the cup, as if they just cut bottom off did a lite sauté and sent it to me.  When I said something to the manager, he says it’s honest mistake. He offered an apology and say they will be mindful for the next time. I said that’s unacceptable and then he said I have to call the owner to see if I can discount your ticket. They took off $4.00.  I smiled politely, pay my bill, tipped my waitress cash and left. This is was my fourth time there and last. But not my first problems.

Got the cinnamon roll mini waffles and side of eggs. The eggs were really well made. Honestly would come back for those alone. Completely demolished them before i could take a picture. But here are the waffles. They were also delicious.

Super cute place for breakfast. They have freshly made juices and I had the cranberry grapefruit which was delicious. I ordered the bacon avocado sandwich and it was also very good. Specifically the bacon was excellent. A great place to stop for brunch
