"King Street’s brick-framed standby that originally opened in 2009 under restaurateur Robert Wiedmaier’s watch hasn’t seated any guests since the pandemic started. On Tuesday, October 4, the 2,500-square-foot space finally resurfaces at the foot of the 107-room Lorien Hotel & Spa with a new clean-cut look and menu full of decadent toasts, flatbreads, and skillet dishes." - Tierney Plumb

We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and Alex was our bartender. She was exceptionally gracious and pleasant despite the fact the kitchen ovens were down and we had a very limited menu. She gave us outstanding service and we will return because of her hospitality.

Do not come here for breakfast as Lorien hotel tells you to do. I waited there 35 mins to get two eggs and beacon… for 16 $ which is the most expensive option they have you get dry beacon which turns into dust the moment you touch it, the saddest ever hasbrown and that’s it… not event a plate of fruits. Also you have to pay separately for water and coffee 7 and 6 dollars respectively. I left disappointed and hungry. The Lorien hotel needs to do something about there breakfasts as it spoils the hotel stay. We paid 56 dollars for two people below avarage breakfast which is outrages.

Food was pretty good but the service was extremely slow; took 40 min to get appetizer (cheese board), we were actually about to leave when it finally came. Waiter was nowhere to be seen. Lunch menu is extremely limited, maybe it’s a better place for dinner, too bad it feels like they kind of gave up on lunch.

Service is EXTREMELY slow today for lunch. First time back since they reopened and while the food is still good, it took 30 minutes to get a cold appetizer and we are one of two tables occupied! The waitress hasn't smiled once during the entire rime we've been sitting here and has very little energy. Very disappointing to come back to this!

The dishes are wonderfully executed. The arugula salad was a great blend of sweetness, acidity, and freshness. The salmon was cooked to perfection. Really enjoyed my experience at the restaurant.

Very chic location. Excellent french onion soup. It had to by far be the best french onion soup I ever had. The flatbreads were fantastic. The waiter was funny and kind and very attentive. Definitely a great spot for brunch.

This was a nice place had a very nice setting so we decided to give it a try. We arrived at 10am and was told you have till 1030 to order breakfast. The waitress didn't come back to our table till 1027 which was fine cause we got to order breakfast still. I ordered a chocolate milk and it came out milk with the chocolate not stirred in at all. My breakfast everything was overcooked. My hashbrowns and bacon was burnt. Eggs where salty. Overall probably won't return.
