What a delightful restaurant! My family came after church this past Sunday. I have a family member who uses a wheelchair. This restaurant has a nice easy to use ramp that is a "switch back" style leading up to the very spacious deck. It was a breezy day, but we sat outside anyway. The tables and chairs are comfortable and easy to pull in and out especially for an individual who needs help transferring from a wheelchair. The servers were very kind and helpful.
Now about the food. Delicious!
I don't think it's very clear on the menu that what you are getting are Waffle Sandwiches. A full-size Belgian style waffle is cut in half and made into a sandwich. My son had "the Bullig". My daughter had "That's All". My husband had "Just in Käse". And I tried "Bee*Itch". All of us ate every bite. My kids also enjoyed very frothy chocolate milk drinks with whipped cream, toasted marshmallows, and extra chocolate syrup on top. My husband ordered a cold latte style drink with just as much whipped cream and extras. All in all for the four of us with extra "fancy" beverages, we spent $100.00. This was a family treat, so it was worth the money. We wanted to support a local business and this one is very much worth supporting.
I have a couple of critical tiny things! These are just "ticky-tacky" details that are my opinions and certainty could be ignored and maybe don't really bother others, so take it with a grain of salt:
1. I don't care for the actual plates. I have never been a fan of flat pizza peels like plates. Ok. Please ignore that if you don't really care.
2. When an individual with a handicap needs to use the restroom (my child did not need to, so this wasn't a concern, but a thing I noticed) having any kind of object that partially blocks the full range
of the restroom door opening, such as a stack of high chairs, makes it so she cannot independently use the restroom without someone helping her. I truly understand that this restaurant is small and there really isn't a "better" place to put objects, but it does force a lot of stalling. Here's how it affects the restaurant--a person in a wheelchair must use the restroom. They see they can't fully open the door. They must ask (either another patron or a worker) for help. This asking might cause embarrassment--for some individuals with a handicap they are so used to asking that they don't get embarrassed, but it can be solved by simply never blocking the door. If a worker needs to stop to help, then business slows, albeit really just for a moment. And, noone is ever rude about helping, it can just be solved by not having the door blocked. This is truly a detail that is probably not solved because of the nature of it being a small restaurant and that's OK! Truly!!
I know, I know, did I really have to point that out? It's such a small detail. I only point it out because maybe it will help bring awareness and also maybe there is a better spot in the space to put things like high chairs. It's the difference between 4 stars and 5 for me and my family.
3. It was a little challenging to find the entrance from the main road. I missed it once then realized it was in the same gated business plaza as the butterfly house. I didn't realize that the adorable dog picture was meant to be for the restaurant. Oops.
I plan to come back with my family. I plan to enjoy every morsel! The waffle was just the right amount of lightness and sweetness (but not overly sweet). And the Bee*Itch is my new favorite sandwich!
What a lovely place to enjoy a beautiful SWFL Florida Sunday.
