We followed that with the lobster ravioli which was so nasty I couldn't eat more than one bite. It had a very fishy smell. The server came over and asked if we wanted dessert, which honestly surprised me that she didn't say anything about how I hadn't eaten hardly any of my entree. We declined and left. It's a cute building, and this was the off season, so maybe it was just an off night. Based on my experience, there are better places to eat in the area.

I was SO pleasantly surprised by my experience here! A must-try!…read more This place is ran so efficiently but I didn't feel as though we were rushed in any means. It is so home and cozy, seriously the ideal breakfast spot. The staff was super friendly and helpful with questions/allergy concerns. If the weather permits, I'd recommend snagging an outside table. I ordered the Eggs Benedict Florentine with a GF english muffin and was blown away. I can be super picky about my benedicts and was not expecting much at all. The eggs were cooked to perfection, the hollandaise was rich and tangy, and both the spinach and tomatoes were super fresh. Dipping their potatoes in the yolk/hollandaise reminisce was delish. I really made the dishwashers job easier that day, haha. Obviously one needs to get french toast or pancakes for the table. I totally get the hype around this french toast. So thick without being dry, even if you don't go the cinnamon route. Do be warned it's a lot more feeling than you might anticipate, I'd say one person won't need more than 2 slices! Added bonus: really well mixed chocolate milk.
