I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this place. Normally I default to a 4, but going over rankings of service, food, etc. In my head, I realized, they really made a 5 for breakfast with my wife and I. I had an amazing omelet. Light flavorful and good portion meal. Everything was flavorful. My wife had a similar plate and we were not disappointed by service, wait, everything. Treat yourself for breakfast and try this place yourself.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

So I ordered the NY steak and eggs, requesting medium-rare meat temp. I guess the chef either doesn’t get steak orders often or doesnt know how to cook one. Steak was pretty much well done. Friend of mine told me he stopped going since some changes over the years. I definitely sense a decline in quality. Service has always been slow and chaotic so thats hasnt seemed to change.

I just came back from here and I must mention the positives first. The service and attention to detail here is amazing. We were treated like royalty, and everyone is super nice. Unfortunately the food was very bad. I’ve never had a bad avocado toast, until today. There was way too much ricotta cheese on it, I couldn’t even taste the avocado! There was no baked arugula, it was just a mountain on the side… and the toast was simply too thick, it’s supposed to be much thinner. The grilled chicken in the burger was dry, too.
