- Jessica LearDecember 17, 2016I couldn't decide between two things on the menu, so they let me get a half order of each at no extra charge! Both items were amazing!!Upvote1Downvote
- CCnycMarch 12, 2017The wait for a table can take a while (no reservations) but the food is worth the wait. Omlettes with fresh ingredients and that caramel/ pretzel pancake is one of a kind.UpvoteDownvote
- XinnieAugust 23, 2017There's usually a wait if you go during weekend peak brunch hours so go earlier if you don't like waiting like me. If you're a chocolate lover, get the Chocolate tower French toast. It's da bomb!UpvoteDownvote
- Susan WellfordAugust 8, 2014Stuffed! The portions are gigantic!! Everyone liked their meal: Raspberry lemon pancakes (like a dessert), breakfast croissant & chicken salad all good. Large fruit tray & breakfast potatoes are tastyUpvoteDownvote

- Shannon LindellJuly 13, 2017The White Chocolate Salted Carmel Pretzel Pancakes are the best! Though I tried the Blackberry and Meyer Lemon Pancakes today. I was not disappointed.UpvoteDownvote
- The different pancakes all sound amazing, but if you also want something savory, it can be tough to choose. So here's a little trick: Order just one of any pancake. Nice of them to let you do that!Upvote3Downvote
