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.

We had the veggie and lox benedicts and loved them! Food was delicious and served quick. On weekend mornings, I would recommend calling ahead of time to be put on the waitlist; we did that and were seated immediately after our 20-minute drive.
The wait was very long, but we had a large party. Most everything was good. Honestly, all of it is good, except one thing. The potatoes. Are they hash browns? Are they mashed potatoes? Everyone at the table was commenting on them. They are also over seasoned with some chive flavor. They appear as if they are supposed to be a sort of hash brown patty type thing, but they were mushy, and I don't know anyone who wants chive flavored mashed potatoes for breakfast. This matters a lot to me as good hash browns are a big part of breakfast and they are not hard to make. I think they are overthinking the breakfast potato. If they had a normal hash brown option that was anything other than these odd mashed potato cake things, then it would have been five stars. The lox benedict was fantastic. My sister really enjoyed the gluten free options. My sons only complaint on the bacon and eggs were the potatoes. The patio and view are nice. Parking was tight.

Rupert's became our go to for breakfast while we were in Denver this past September. The view of Sloan lake is amazing from this restaurant. Our server for 2 of the days was so funny, knowledgeable, and efficient. I never got his name but he wore a grateful dead belt and I knew he was awesome. Anyhow, my family loved the food, the vibe, and the kind/courteous staff. We would definitely go back next time we were in town! The food is divine and the mimosas did their thing. The only thing that would have made our experience better is if we sat outside to have our breakfast as it overlooked the lake
