One of the very few times that I did enjoy my breakfast in a restaurant. I ordered omelette and steel cut oatmeal, in addition to fresh orange juice. The orange juice.....was one of the best that I have ever had in the United States!!! Moreover, the lady working there (Megan) was professional, responsive, and her energy contributes to this 5 star experience. Also, she was humble enough to share a really good list of places to check around town..and her list was amazing! Thank you 👍 Finally, if you around town and you want to have breakfast... You have to try it😊

On Wednesday they do a special of burger and a beer for $15. The burger was great! I ordered the pasta which was also delicious although pretty heavy even though I ordered the half portion. It definitely doesn’t feel at all like a hotel restaurant.

Nice restaurant with a cool atmosphere in Old Town. The drink menu is was more interesting than the food one. The appetizers were great - we had the soft veal meatballs and the delicious cauliflower. The entrees were a bit disappointing though - the steak bernaise was boring and the fish and chips oily. Service was awesome though!

Fantastic food & wine in a beautiful setting and great location. Owner Ryan See was a generous host for my film crew and me. I highly recommend The Kennison and J. Parker - another amazing restaurant with outstanding views and very very trendy! Many thumbs up!

Came for brunch to celebrate a birthday, and the food was below par while the service was mediocre. Food: I ordered the eggs Benedict, which did the job, but nothing to write home about. The potato wedges that came with it were crisp and freshly fried, but completely flavorless (no salt) so I dunked them in the ketchup. A couple other people ordered the fried chicken and waffles, which were very sad. The waffle tasted like microwave eggo waffles, and the breading falls straight off the chicken. Service: It wasn’t super crowded, but for some reason, the service was super slow. Our server cleared half the plates when we were done and then just disappeared. But she did keep the coffee flowing :) Other: We brought our own cake, and they provided plates and allowed us to have it there with no extra cost, which was great!

We were really impressed with this place. Every dish and drink was really good! We especially loved the risotto starter and the pea and mint pasta. The gooey cake with sorbet was also amazing. Highly recommend checking this place out!

This is the saddest chicken and waffles I’ve ever had in my entire life, and I’m almost 250lbs so I’ve ate a lot of chicken and waffles. It actually came at the waiters recommendation, and guess what? We haven’t seen the waiter since we first sat down. Shocker. Never coming back.
