quick service, can sit at the bar like a traditional diner. Has high chairs. Concise breakfast menu - not a ton but really good. Our toddler shared an oatmeal and it came with tons of berries. Iced coffee with almond milk and a hot americano - both good. Convenient location for out of town visitors staying nearby. Didn’t drink alcohol but had a good menu and lunch / dinner food too.

The duck and waffle was GREAT! and so was the French toast! Steak and eggs were meh... Steak had 0 salt or any seasoning. Staff was nice and friendly.

I came here with a huge appetite, I was breaking fast and planned on eating big. The server let me know ordering a classic breakfast and a pancake would be more than enough. She was right! It was all so filling, a classic diner meal. They use real blueberries in their pancakes and they had vanilla flavor for the latte I ordered.

Classic diner vibes with great food & service. My server Ever was really great & on top of everything this morning. I can definitely recommend the Confit Duck & Waffles for breakfast.

The food here was awesome and filling. I got the French toast with a side of eggs and chicken sausage. I paid more than I should have for eggs but ultimately my experience was good. The wait staff was very friendly and constantly moving. There wasn’t much space at the counter so it kind of felt like we were on top of each other. The place is kind of small and looked like that all around but it wasn’t too bad. I would definitely recommend grabbing brunch here!

This place needs to get more hype! My husband and I stayed at a nearby hotel and came here to eat, and it was delicious. Came two mornings in a row since the food was that good! Highly recommend

The breakfast was fine for what it was, but it wasn’t that great and I probably wouldn’t choose to eat here if it wasn’t covered as a part of staying at the hotel. The duck in the duck and waffles was really greasy and the meat was a little dry and tough to chew. The waffles were also already soggy by the time they got to me since they were covered in syrup. The steak was good, cooked fine and no complaints about it, but it also didn’t stand out. The potatoes were soggy and on the bland side. It can get really busy here as well, and service really deteriorates then. I ordered a side of fruit that never arrived, but I also wasn’t charged for it so I guess it was never put in.
