Disappointing Service Despite Loving the Restaurant
I've been to this restaurant several times and love it every time. I’ve never had an issue or a bad experience at all. However, our most recent visit didn’t go well at all.
We were put in an awkward situation because our son was crying as we entered the restaurant. We were asked to “take it outside and deal with it” outside of the restaurant. I understand a child crying in a restaurant may disrupt other customers, but I think there’s correct ways to go about the situation from the host’s perspective.
The host came off rude and put us in a situation where we chose to leave. Unfortunate situation as this is a place we love to attend. Just never thought the host or an employee would put us in such a situation.

An Imaginative Breakfast GEM!
My experience at this restaurant was a breakfast/brunch GEM. I was blown away by the owners' creativity in the space's design and decor. The menu was truly imaginative, with standout dishes like 'The Bucket' – a KFC tub presented with half a deconstructed chicken, fried perfectly, accompanied by four waffle sections and four sauces.
It was simply WWOWWWW!

Amazing Service and Delicious Food!
My bestie was in town from Atlanta for a graduation, and we stopped to have a bite to eat before she headed back. Elise was our server, and she was AMAZING! Attentive and warm, she was awesome!
I hope to have her again next time. In case she doesn’t remember us (we were the two girls crying happy tears over pancakes lol), the food was SO GOOD and filling. I hated I couldn’t finish all my French toast.
I loved the vibes and aesthetic, and I'm definitely coming back!

Terrible Service, Never Returning
I arrived this morning with my friends at 8 am for breakfast. We were a party of 12. I ordered the American breakfast, which consisted of eggs, sausage, and bread.
I needed to leave by 9: 30 am and thought I'd have plenty of time to eat. I was the first in my group to order, but I never received my food. I asked the server several times, and she would reply, “You haven’t gotten your food?
” I eventually asked them to pack it to go because I couldn't wait any longer. I sat there for an hour and a half and watched all my friends eat their food. Once the server finally gave me my food, she asked if I was paying for everyone!
I said "No. " After paying, she handed me the device for me to give a tip. ABSOLUTELY NOT! Here’s a tip: bring the customer their food.
That’s the only tip they deserve. All I got was “sorry! ” No discount, no extra nothing!
To add insult to injury, as I was getting up to walk out, the server finally asked if I wanted a refill of my coffee – the first time in the almost two hours I was there that she asked me! I WILL NEVER RETURN! If you want to wait a long time and get treated second-rate, this is a great place to go.
I will be sure to warn everyone I meet away from this establishment. I had my friends feeling sorry for me, what a great feeling. The picture shows what I had to eat their food in because they couldn’t serve it to me on time.
