Breakfast was good overall, I thought the potatoes were over-salted while the scrambled eggs were in need of a pinch. The room is beautiful though, you won’t find a more comfortable and lovely breakfast dining space on the south side.

I was happy to see a new restaurant sprout up in this strip. On the outside – I honestly thought it was a watch shop! When entering the restaurant everything is clean and new and pleasing to the eye.

Easily the best omelette I have had in the area in quite some time. The juice was really good as well. Table space is a bit tight, can get very loud, but overall a really good experience. Looking forward to keeping this spot in the regular rotation. The line to pay your bill can get really crowded at the front with patrons also checking in to be seated.

They are clearly shortstaffed. While the food was good, it wasn’t great. Timing was way off too. My food came out 5 min after my partners meal and was not hot. Our drink orders took a long time. I would say give them a chance but just be patient.
