"If this LoHi bakery, cafe, and restaurant emanates eclectic energy from sunup to long past sundown, it’s all thanks to owner Linda Hampsten Fox, as inexhaustible as she is imaginative. Influences as diverse as Italy, Israel, and Mexico reflect her globe-spanning career prior to settling here; they’re revealed by day in dishes like swordfish panzanella or latkes with beet-cured salmon and by night in seasonal creations ranging from grilled ribeye in dark chocolate-black sesame mole to the signature smoked rabbit-pecan pie with sharp cheddar and mustard gelato." - Ruth Tobias
"Come brunch, Linda Hampsten Fox’s LoHi favorite for contemporary cuisine positively bustles with diners digging into dishes whose influences span the globe from Mexico to Europe to the Middle East to the Deep South. Signatures include the ham-and-cheese Dutch baby with mustard gelato and the Polish omelet with kielbasa, caramelized-onion goat cheese, and horseradish crema. There’s no going wrong with a good old cheeseburger, either." - Ruth Tobias
"This all-day LoHi favorite begins breakfast service with staples including stone-cut oatmeal with blueberries and whiskey butter; egg-topped duck-sweet potato hash with edamame, squash, and hollandaise; and a powerful avocado toast with heirloom tomatoes, smoked-paprika aioli, and lime-curry oil. Weekend brunch starts at 8 a.m. with an even fancier menu featuring the likes of vanilla-rum Dutch babies and the Hestan, a three-egg cheese omelet with black beans, plantains, shishito and poblano peppers, and cilantro charmoula." - Ruth Tobias
"So nice she’s doing it twice: From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Linda Hampsten Fox’s New American fixture in LoHi is hosting a Champagne brunch complete with complimentary bubbly and a la carte specials; just a few hours later, the doors will open again for a five-course prix fixe ($145 per person) that ranges in typically eclectic fashion from maple sugar bone marrow with potato skin, rose cream, and curried shallots to pan-seared sea bass with green chorizo and butter beans to dark chocolate–Champagne cake with gold leaf." - Ruth Tobias
"Brunch is always a bustling affair at Linda Hampsten Fox’s contemporary American favorite in LoHi; on Christmas Eve from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., it’s guaranteed to be extra-bubbly, as the kitchen conjures up holiday specials to extend the regular menu — itself rife with festive signatures like the Dutch baby with ham, jack cheese, and mustard gelato; the duck hash with sweet potatoes, poblano peppers, green and yellow squash, and edamame; and the Polish omelet with kielbasa, caramelized onion goat cheese, and horseradish crema. (Pro tip: Check out the on-site bakery to meet the need for last-minute sweet treats.)" - Eater Staff
