Reviews
Starting with the downside—based on friends’ recommendations, I visited for brunch with my kids. The place was packed, and while I waited at the counter, I noticed that the two servers on duty were working hard to accommodate everyone. However, they were so busy that it took 5–10 minutes before we were even acknowledged.
Now, the good part—once we got a table, the service improved significantly. The servers were warm, courteous, and quick to assist with our order. The food not only looked great but also tasted delicious!
Overall, while the initial wait was frustrating, the quality of the food and the friendly service once seated made up for it.
The good. The service was quick friendly and accommodating, despite mixed reviews on this from others. The food was standard nice diner food that you’d be happy to eat. Nothing too fancy nothing too cheap. The pancakes however did remind me of standard boxed pancakes. All good and fine, just not high quality. Which is fine if the price reflects it. However.
The price gouging is ridiculous here and reflects a take-what-I-can mentality by the owners. Prices are 50+% higher than they should. Omelets start at $20 for the same stuff that is $12-13 elsewhere. Then they find extra tack-on required fees. Oh you want to pay with a card? +3.5%, and they even try to make extra money than what credit card fees even are. Time to tip? 18% is the minimum suggested.
The environment reminds me of an airbnb place that uses cheap stuff that is meant to look modern in pictures – chintsy and fake. Meant for cheap flipping. No real character or honesty.
I’m not a fan at all of places like this. It’s this kind of business ‘model’ and taking approach that is degrading restaurant culture in this country.
ran from $18+!!!
The “Indian Ramen Skillet” sounded amazing in theory — I imagined a dry, seasoned, baked ramen dish with some crispy edges and spice. What I got was the complete opposite: a cold skillet pan used as a plate, filled with bland, soupy cup-o-noodles topped with raw peppers, onions, and an overdone fried egg… that’s it… not even a spoon. For $21, you’re better off buying a skillet, a 20-pack of ramen, and some veggies from the grocery store a couple shops down — or better yet, go next door for an actual bowl of authentic ramen at half the price.
The “Pancake Sampler” was the only highlight. Those were delicious — stick to pancakes if you go… for $20!!!
The “Avocado Toast with Bacon and Egg” was another letdown: the egg was overcooked, the chopped bacon was flavorless (not sure how that’s even possible), and the rye bread was fine, but not worth the calories or price.
Prices overall are outrageous — $71 for three meals, two cups of joe… the meals weren’t even worth asking for a to-go container.
Service: the host and servers were polite, but with the restaurant only half full, they still ran out of coffee (we had to flag down the staff for refills) and we waited for the rebrew. The server apologized for the delay on both and said “the kitchen was backed up.”
Bottom line: I won’t be back unless it’s just for pancakes — and even then, $20 for a plate feels like a stretch. Again, very disappointed with almost everything besides the pancakes.
Other people in my group got the salmon eggs Benedict and two pancakes. Service needs improvement, such as getting more water and asking if we needed anything else and with prices being on the high side, this was something really lacking.
Cappuccino was good but not hot like I asked for.
