Went for breakfast Sunday about 9 AM. It was pretty busy with a slight wait for a table and some open seats at the bar. We waited for a few minutes until another group left and we could be sat. It is a pretty small space with lots of tables crammed in there. They were quick to get us seated and asked for our drink order immediately- two coffees and a hot chocolate. We did have to remind them about the hot chocolate but got the coffees right away. The hot chocolate was really pretty but a little watered down but still good. We ordered the fruit crepe, crispy French toast, blueberry pancakes, two sides of sausage, and a side of two scrambled eggs with cheese. The food came out relatively quickly and was warm.. I believe one of the chefs brought it and he made sure to mention that the French toast had an apple crisp drizzle and the pancakes a special butter and recommended we try first before adding syrup like you would on a normal French toast or pancake. The pancake order came with three decent sized pancakes and were pretty dense. The fruit crepe had a great presentation along with the crispy French toast. The flavor of the French toast was good - the apple crisp topping was very complementary and a nice touch. It wasn't super "crispy" but had a nice coating that added texture and slight crunch compared to your average French toast. They had syrup at the table and we ultimately did use a little for both pancake and French toast order. The service was pretty good - but they didn't really come back to check in and make sure we were all set, but they had a coffee runner who made sure coffees were full. They brought the check and then started clearing the table - and we were then politely asked to leave as there was a party or two waiting. The guy was polite about it, and we were about ready to go anyways but it was a little odd as we hadn't been sitting there extra long - for example there were other tables still there seated before us. Speaking as someone who worked at a breakfast restaurant for years, I get it. It's fast paced and about getting people in and out - so I wasn't upset and again they were polite, but we were wrapping up anyways and just caught us a little off guard. There is not much of a waiting area either, so if it is busy be prepared to stand outside - which on a cold, snowy, winter morning is not ideal. (There is literally only the tiny entrance area) so I'm sure that was another reason for the rush in getting a table opened. It is on Main Street so no parking lot but there is street parking and some areas around the block available. The menu is both breakfast and lunch - I found the breakfast side to be decent but short filled with lots of the sweets (pancakes, waffles, French toast) and then a few other items like eggs Benedict, breakfast sandwich, a hash, oatmeal, "live" omelet, and huevos rancheros. If you want a typical breakfast like eggs, breakfast meat, hasbrowns, and toast it seemed you'd order from the sides menu... not a big deal or problem, but might be a good idea to add a meal option like that - and would recommend maybe adding a side meat or fruit to the sweet dishes included instead of as an up-charge. All and all, it was a good spot and experience - a nice local diner to get some good breakfast or lunch and unique twists on some of your faves.
