It's an omelette I wouldn't have normally chosen for myself but I got it and it was amazing. Someone knows technique and flavors back in the kitchen. So Good. The warm welcome when we walked in was a very nice start to it all. So glad we walked in. Go. Look at the menu beforehand. Yes the cinnamon rolls are amazing. The sourdough was some of best I've had. The house made jam was delicious. It's all very good. Such a vibey, cool spot. Absolutely 10/10 recommend

When I walked in, there were a total of 6 customers including myself in the restaurant; a couple together in line and 3 already sitting. The cashier had a chill vibe overall. I ordered Biscuits & Gravy w/soft scrambled eggs and drip black coffee. Total with tip; $28.44. I sat myself and waited probably no longer than ten minutes and a gentlemen brought my food out. Presentation was decent, but... The food wasn't hot whatsoever. For them to only have 6 guests and during what would be deemed breakfast time, it indicates they weren't busy. So I didn't understand the cold food. The gravy was lukewarm at best, the biscuits definitely tasted like day old and were so salty in certain bites. They were flaky and really good in other bites. The eggs were the same; lukewarm. It was as if the food was made and sat on the counter the ten minutes I waited. In terms of flavor, it was decent, but the inconsistencies and temperature leaves room for improvement. Not sure I'll be returning unfortunately.

We ordered the crab linguine and the steak sandwich, and both were delicious. The cocktails were fresh, flavorful, and definitely boozy! I'd come back for those alone. The space is cozy but roomy enough for both date night and larger groups. It's also connected to a hotel, which was news to me, and parking was easy. Definitely a place worth checking out!

Dinner was wonderful - a deliciousl crab pasta dish in a light lemon sauce, along with a very tasty dessert. Service from Simone was very good. Since we had such a good experience at dinner, we stopped by in the morning and got a yogurt parfait with granola and fruit - also quite tasty. The server that morning was (I believe) Andrea, who had an amazing energy and a wonderful attitude. She was quite confident in running the whole restaurant front of the house. When I return to the area, I will definitely be visiting Truth be Told.

The Cove is your friendly neighborhood dive bar. If you are looking for a place to meet new and…read moreinteresting people, grab a drink after a long workday, or hang with friends on the weekend, then this is your place. I love it here because you can get a super-boozy Old Fashioned for only $10. You will also get friendly bartenders who actually enjoy meeting patrons and making conversation with them. I like grabbing a seat right at the bar (when there is a seat available because it is typically crowded) because that is where you can meet the most interesting characters. This is not the place to come if you are looking for drinks with frills. This also is not the place where you can get some nosh with your liquor, but I have seen folks order and bring in food. There's not live music (i.e.: a DJ), but there is a paid jukebox in the back. #ImNotAFoodie #ImJustAGirlWhoLovesFoodAndDrink #YelpEliteSquad

The servers are great and attentive. The food does not disappoint! I love the pot roast and jalapeño cheddar grits. That is sooooo good you cannot go wrong ordering that. I've also had the fried catfish on top of the jalapeño cheddar grits, and it was delicious as well! The French toast is very good as well. I tried the fried chicken for the first time during my last visit, and it was impressed. Overall, this is a nice establishment with good food options. They serve breakfast all day, so you don't have to go at a certain time of day to try it. I recommend booking a reservation during the weekends because they can get pretty busy. Parking on the streets is limited, but there is a parking garage around the corner that allows visitors to park on the top floor. Go check them out for some delicious food and drinks!

This place has a lot of personality: old wood finishes, "graffiti" on every reachable wall and sill. I wanted to follow the other reviews and get the calamari and the chili. The calamari was very good, but has a short shelf life. The chili was nice, but a little toothless. Also had the cubano which was rich in pickles which is always a plus. I guess, since it's claiming a deli in-residence, I'd try the deli sandwich specialities. I don't know when I can get out here next, but it looks like the pizza is supposed to be the next thing we try.
