We were given a few different menus. They have a wide range of offerings. We started with the macaroni and cheese, side of fries and “cauliflower wings” with the honey-harissa sauce. Our server was Zoe (hope I spelled that right). She was very friendly, warm, patient and happy. She gladly put in the few items early for my granddaughters. Zoe was extremely pleasant and interacted with the girls, who enjoyed the attention. The portions were generous.
Our meals came a little later. I had a pesto, ricotta, and chorizo orecchiette. My wife got the caesar salad with grilled salmon. My daughter got the fall harvest salad with chicken cutlets. Her husband got flat-iron steak with Brussel sprouts and sweet potato hash.
We were overwhelmed and greatly surprised when Zoe served us. The portions were absolutely huge. My daughter’s meal could have fed 3 people. Throughout the meal Zoe checked on us, joked with my granddaughters, and us. After the meal the girls wanted ice cream. Zoe fixed them a nice big cup of vanilla gelato with chocolate syrup and sprinkles. They were very happy.
We will definitely be back for dinner. We have been there for breakfast and lunch before. This was our first dinner. The food was delicious and Zoe made the night. My one granddaughter had to run back in and give Zoe a hug, which she didn’t shy away from and gave her a big hug back.
It is a small establishment; about 6 tables and the same number of booths. Tucked in the corner of the Dollar General/Goodwill shopping center, next to Ken’s hardware.
I highly recommend going there.
To say the staff is pretty amazing is an understatement. Everyone is smiling, friendly and just plain happy! Everyone we saw greeted us or thanked us for stopping in.
The coffee menu is extensive, with ever changing, tasty combinations. I had the Hot as Hades Red Eye coffee, which was amazing. Piping hot, a touch of spicy heat and fresh whipped cream topping it off. My wife had the DarkStar Chai, which she found equally delicious.
I went for the Morning Star omelet. It was stuffed with chorizo, peppers and onions. It was plenty big enough, I should have only ate half, but it was too good! Hahaha… The parmigian smash potatoes were fantastic! So nice and crunchy on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside. We ordered a side of them, thinking I’d only get a couple with my meal. We’ll, not only were there enough for both of us on my plate, but the side order was a huge bowl! They definitely won’t go to waste 😉 The sourdough toast was two nice sized slices of bread.
My wife had the Eggs and Arugala. A huge pile of vibrant, crunchy arugula that was lightly dressed. The over easy eggs went well with the delicious avacado toast. A perfect sized brunch meal.
We are looking forward to returning to try some of the delicious sounding items on the lunch menu.
