pricey with ambiguous/concerning quality ...
the food (excluding the chicken) was pretty good. we got a red velvet waffle with chicken, and the chicken was a bit concerning. it smelled a bit carcassy and even in the pictures, you can see it looks off. we ended up being refunded for the chicken, but other customers sitting opposite to us also were concerned about the quality of the chicken because theirs had feathers on it and it smelled off to them as well. it's fine that we were refunded, but i also looked at the other chickens going out in a box to be delivered, and the quality didn't look to be any better. if i were to come here again, i'd prefer to stay away from the chicken just because it's really concerning and it could be that the chicken isn't being refrigerated at the right temperature and everything including the oil could be spoiled.
as for the rest of the food, i found the omelette to be quite tasty, but i saw in other reviews they noted the food didn't come out hot but warm almost as if it had been reheated rather than cooked from scratch upon ordering. the home fries were good, same with the toast. my friend liked his waffles and said they were really good.
the service here was good, but they weren't overly attentive so it's not exactly a diner experience (not that they claimed to me - but just have those casual expectations), but they were still very friendly regardless. it would be nice if they offered a non dairy milk option for their coffee too.
i'm a bit hesitant to come here again. everything else we got excluded the refunded chicken came out to $38 for a meal for two which is on the pricey considering the ambiguous quality and C rating the restaurant has. there were ants crawling around on the walls while we were eating too, which made the experience a little less pleasant than it already was re/ the chicken.
i really hope they can improve the quality of their chicken because this place otherwise is really inviting and has a cool menu, but the prices are too expensive in my view for the quality.
