    Had the almond french toast today and it was amazing! Lately service has been lacking at some of my other favorite brunch spots, but not here! Here they're always friendly and attentive.

    Great French Onion Soup! Solid biscuits and gravy, but could have used some red pepper flakes. They need to make their coffee stronger or offer a darker roast.

    Stay away! New ownership & its NOT good. Had rude waitress tell me if I wanted to talk to the owner he was "over there". I said I'm the customer, have him come to me. He did, but was a total asshole.

    Service sucked today. Got told emphatically they couldn't do something they always have done. So I can't get a side Swedish pancake, I have to buy 4 for $8? After we waited at the table for 10 mins.
