Mary is incredibly friendly, attentive, and makes you feel genuinely welcome from the moment you sit down. She's also very knowledgeable about the menu, gave great recommendations, and made ordering easy. She checks in at all the right times without being overbearing, keeps everything running smoothly, and brings such a positive energy to the whole experience. It's rare to find service this consistently great, but Mary truly stands out. If you're dining here, I highly recommend asking for her--you won't be disappointed!

Love the ambiance of this restaurant. The Hash & Eggs is my FAVORITE. Chunks of fresh cooked corned beef, potatoes, and eggs. I added a cup of gravy with my biscuit. The biscuits are a MUST GET ITEM! I loved the MS Mocha drink w/ oat milk. Once again pleasantly surprised this small town eatery had non-dairy options. Love it. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meals - the sausage, bacon, and other side carts were tasty! Husband loved his Patty Melt. Big Fan of Moose & Stella's!

Found this cute little place on Yelp. Omg. The food here is soooo good…read more My husband and I sat at the bar and ordered two mochas. They don't have an espresso machine but they brew a really good espresso blend. For breakfast, we ordered the carrot cake pancakes, the toast, and a side of turkey sausage. Everything is farm to table and made fresh. The food is incredible. I ordered the carrot cake pancakes. The attention to detail with the candied ginger and homemade rosemary simple syrup was noted. My belly was so happy. The side of Turkey sausage was so good. It's not your basic sausage. They are homemade with roasted onions, leeks, and herbs. This changes every season, which is so exciting. My husband's toast was made with brisket. I tried a bite. The combination of fresh veggies, homemade bread, and brisket was so good. Vanessa was our server. She was so great! So friendly and helpful. This is one of my all time favorite breakfast places. Can't wait to come back.

Our visit to S2S was deeply disappointing, and it's important to speak honestly about what…read morehappened. From the moment we walked in, we experienced what felt like clear racial discrimination. While white customers were greeted kindly, escorted to their tables, and menus waited them on tables with care, the owner herself treated us very differently. She handed us menus while we were still standing and simply told us to "go sit over there," without guiding us to a table. It was incredibly disrespectful. Once seated and ordered, the waitress was nice but we waited nearly 50 minutes for our food, just two people with a simple order. Even for busy sunday , it was unlikely specially that a larger group who arrived around the same time were served much sooner. After the 50 minute, when we politely mentioned the delay and requested to leave and pay for drinks, we were spoken to in a disrespectful tone under what seemed like a fake smiles and we were told, "This is not a fast food place," as if we were unreasonable or lacking understanding, a response that felt insulting and belittling. We weren't demanding fast food service; we were simply asking for clear communication and fair treatment. We were not informed about the wait time would be this long, and nothing on the menu indicated it either. A small biscuit was brought to our table during the wait, but we still weren't told how much longer it would be. If the breakfast food typically takes this long, guests should be given a heads-up so they can decide if they have time to wait. Overall, the lack of proper hospitality, the tone used to speak to us, and the differential treatment we received make it hard not to believe this was racially motivated.Being treated this way by the owner herself made it even more horrible experience! We expected to be treated like valued customers, not like a trash in the corner. Discrimination has no place in the service industry. We hope S2S seriously reflects on how they treat all guests not just those who look a certain way. Also, they should consider mentioning the expected wait time for orders if they are likely to take a long time.

Tasteful decor. So much attention to the details...

All of us were very pleased with our meals. The Big Daddy was almost too much food, but I managed. My boy said the Breakfast Burger was delicious but messy. My mom said the oatmeal was even delicious, had some maple mixed in with it. My dad enjoyed the Rise-N-Shine, too. The portions were great and the cost was decent. The service was a little slow but they were quite busy. The restaurant was clean but the tables are too large for the room. In my opinion, they could change to square 4-seater have more tables for more customers. The current tables seat 6-7 people but 1/3 of the tables had 2-4 people sitting at them. Definitely worthy of eating at again.

The way in which he coaxed our individual tastes made the experience feel as if we were the only ones there. Good job! Food: well the shrimp appetizer salad and French onion soup were so tasty they didn't get shared. I think that says it all but wait, then there was the salmon with beluga lentils. The olive tapenade was the right balance of salty and savory for the Scottish salmon. Ambiance: the snow mound is gone and the lake can be seen again. What a pleasure to enjoy each other's company while watching the gulls winging over the waves.

The menu had a great amount of variety and the wine list offered some really unique tastes from around the world. I enjoyed the tuna steak for dinner and would recommend it. Kiddo loved the bread and butter that came with the meal. Our second experience still had great food, with the pork chop being my choice and one I would order again. We had a different server that night and he was MIA for more than half the meal. When he came back he asked if we wanted to-go cups for our beverages as he brought the check at the same time. Otherwise it was stellar all around. Would definitely recommend grabbing dinner here while you're in the area!
