    Spinach & Feta Omelette
    Alex M.

    We were in town for a wedding and just passing through on our way to the airport. We stopped to get a bite here after it being recommended by many and we were not disappointed! All the staff were so nice and they provided excellent service! Even thought they were packed, our waters and coffees never went dry and we were checked on often. I ordered a latte and the spinach and feta omelet with potatoes on the side. It was so simple but it was perfection and exactly what I needed for breakfast that day. The breakfast potatoes were crave worthy. The latte was bold and sweet and really hit the spot. They have a large menu with vegetarian and vegan options as well! Don't sleep on this spot!

    It's not a looker but it was delicious!

    I ordered the scramble which tasted way better than it looks! It was huge so I was able to take some home for a second meal. Service was a bit slow with only one server. She was working as hard as she could to keep us all happy. The building is really cute. Best for breakfast but I would assume way busier.

    The classic vegan breakfast. Yummo!

    What a delicious surprise! This is a breakfast & lunch cafe built into a modified house. The staff is friendly and the hustle! A great experience for us! I had The vegan classic breakfast. Just Eggs folded over, Impossible breakfast sausage & house potatoes. It came with rye bread (and vegan butter) and delicious coffee. I also asked for a side of sautéed spinach just to try it. I loved it all! My son had the Skinny Bxxxh Frittata. Egg whites with tomato's, spinach green pepper, mushrooms and onion. It was served with house potatoes, a side of black beans and delicious coffee. He said he very much enjoyed it.

    Favorite brunch spot in Dayton! It's very busy on the weekends but arriving around 9:15 will ensure you don't have a long wait. I've orders the Classic Breakfast and Corned Beef Hash - both are delicious!!

    Butter has been hit or miss for the last few years. When it first opened, it was so good! Unfortunately, I have to call this visit my last. I have had far more disappointing experiences here than satisfying ones. I ordered online for carryout because I know Sundays are busy for breakfast and I live walking distance. It wasn't too busy, there were open tables and a lot of staff walking around. Upon my arrival, there were five employees at the counter doing various things, with others coming and going. A group of two that arrived before me was greeted and taken to a table, but when that employee (probably host) came back from seating them, she completely ignored me. She just kept looking down at a seating chart and running to the back. Never acknowledging me any time she came to check the seating chart. After a few minutes of me patiently waiting for any of these five employees to greet me and help me, two men walked in and stood behind me. The host greeted and sat them. Literally looked BEYOND me and took them into another room. I kept trying to get the attention of others but they kept yelling, "be with you in a minute!" and running around frantically. Another couple arrived, and the host appeared again and started to greet them so I cut her off and asked if she could help me first since I'd been there and two others had already cut ahead of me because of her. She just gave me a blank look, handed me my food and said thanks bye! Honestly it was such a ridiculous experience and I'm still so frustrated thinking about it. And I pre-tipped online not knowing the "fees" charge was an added gratuity, so she was double tipped before I even got there. The ambiance is like a busy little diner. Not the cleanest, but you don't expect it to be. Obviously the customer service is lacking. The food was awful. I was home within 30 seconds, so I know it wasn't from travel time lol. The chai french toast used to be my favorite thing but I could barely get down the top piece. It was just too mushy. The fruit that I paid extra for was old and gross. The vegan bacon tasted like they put a whole bunch of black pepper on some leather. The cappuccino was 16 oz and had no foam, so I'm gonna call it a latte instead. Lacking any espresso flavor, it was just a boring milk coffee. I had to go get food from somewhere else.

    Went here for breakfast! This place was happening. There was a 15 minute wait. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The menu had a lot to choose from. The ambiance was good. They have artwork up all over the wall. It was nice to look at. Our waiter was very quick and getting our order and drinks. The drinks came out in glass jars. The food was delicious! Great service and great food!

    Crab Cake Benedict
    Christiane W.

    The spot: Quaint little breakfast spot with an extensive menu for breakfast and lunch. The menu includes some great vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options. This place is small and has two different dining areas. I felt a bit claustrophobic sitting in the back dining area. I liked that they had plants around the restaurant. Bathroom appeared to be clean. There is a parking lot next to the restaurant, the lot was pretty tight, but appeared to have ample parking. Service was great. Our server was friendly. The eats: The Gluten Free Waffle, dusted with powdered sugar. This was not my favorite. It was very plain and really thick and dry. There wasn't enough butter or syrup to make this enjoyable. The Crab Cake Benedict was decent. The crab tasted pretty fresh. I swapped the english muffin out for gluten free bread. Came with two poached eggs on top of crab cakes, hollandaise, and fresh chives. The hollandaise sauce was good, but the dish could have had more. The chives was overkill. The server admitted she went a bit too crazy with the chives and I don't even like chives. I knew I should have omitted them, but figured it would just be a few I can work around. Served with breakfast potatoes, which were pretty good. I'm pretty sure this dish was not worth $18. My mom tried the Huevos Rancheros. The dish came with two over easy eggs on top of a tortilla shell, topped with avocado, black beans, cheddar cheese & pico de gallo. The tortillas were a bit tough. This lacked the ranchero sauce/salsa. The salsa provided wasn't very flavorful. The Blood Orange Mimosa was pretty tasty. Coffee was decent. Overall, everything lacked flavor. This was a pretty basic breakfast. I wasn't too impressed. For a place that promotes their restaurant as "The Best Breakfast in Dayton", this was quite disappointing. Perhaps we ordered the wrong items. If I'm ever back in the area, I may try this place again but there seems to be other great options in the area that I would consider first.

    Breakfast sandwich
    Aubrie H.

    There is a small parking lot in the back where we were lucky enough to find a spot. We arrived around 9 on Saturday and did have a small wait for a table of 4. There are a lot of options on the menu including vegan and vegetarian which was exciting to see. We decided on a breakfast sandwich, pancakes, biscuits and gravy and French toast. If we were to come back I would 100% recommend the pancakes and French toast but the biscuits and gravy were not our favorite as they were a little dry. We had great service, some breakfast cocktails and overall enjoyed our visit.

    Do they serve bloody marys?

    They do have a few brunch alcoholic drinks, but they are seasonal and change. Last time I was there, they didn't have bloody Mary's, but did have mimosa's

There were a few options for thanksgiving including some pizzas and salmon. My girlfriend opted for the glazed salmon which came with rice and asparagus but she substituted the asparagus with mashed potatoes. I had their Thanksgiving fare which included turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans. We ordered the Avocado Deviled Eggs for an appetizer. The Avocado Deviled Eggs were delicious, slightly tart, and had a salsa flavor. We really liked them. My girlfriend really liked her salmon. The portion was a really nice size. My thanksgiving meal was delicious. The turkey was really good, mashed potatoes were nice and creamy, and the green beans were cooked just right. Green beans a lot of times have a tendency to be overcooked where they are a little soggy or undercooked where they are too raw. These were cooked just right. The stuffing was good but a little dry. But I'm not really a stuffing guy. For dessert I had the tiramisu which was in small jar topped with some strawberries! It was also and a great way to end the meal. My girlfriend had the Dark Chocolate Terrine. She said it was dense and rich in chocolate flavor. We did check out the outdoor area after we ate. This would be a really nice place to eat outside in the spring or summer. There was an igloo-style structure you could eat in during colder months. I giving this establishment five stars. We had a 3:30 pm reservation, arrived at 3:00 pm and were immediately seated. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly and the food was really good. It's a trendy restaurant with clean restrooms and this would be an ideal place to eat at with friends and family. It has a casual vibe, not overly classy but still special. Drink options were plentiful and we had a lot of fun! Highly recommended!

The Foundry stays open late (food til 10 pm) so it was a great option. I sat at the bar and had the following: -Bbq short rib (3.5/5; pretty tasty. Short rib was tender and bbq sauce had a nice kick. The rice wasn't cooked properly so it was hard. I wanted to like this dish more...I think the traditional pairing of short rib w mashed potatoes would have been better) -Deviled eggs (3/5; these are mixed w avocado which makes them unique. Unfortunately, the flavor was lacking and needed some spice (Dijon, salt, pickles?) I wouldn't get these again -Oaxacan old fashioned (5/5; this old fashioned was made with tequila and mezcal and a flamed orange peel. The smokiness of this drink was super satisfying) Overall, the drink was amazing, service was great and food was alright.

A favorite for brunch, we booked dinner for a Friday night. Phenomenal experience celebrating the holidays with a small group of family and friends. We already loved Table 33 for lunch or brunch, but had never experienced their dinner menu.... Now, it's our favorite Dayton-area restaurant for any meal, snack, or cocktail. (Do not sleep on their wine list though, fabulous assortment and available for retail purchase) Friday night dinner reservations and we were floored with the recent dining room updates - including new dining venues off a hallway, each with its own unique decor (including a unique chandelier in each) and a truly decadent and unexpectedly private environment. Seating for 4 and above in the varying spaces. After dinner, we booked the guaranteed add-on table reservation at the adjacent venue, 'The Dessert Room'. A well-appointed room with a European decor and upbeat music settles you in for a delightful list of desserts, from gelato and macarons to pies and cakes, and a nice coffee, port, wine, or cocktail menu. The service is amazing. The food and cocktails, phenomenally good. The venue? Truly gorgeous. The owner is reinventing another adjacent property next to 'The Dessert Room', currently a mix of a Mexican fare (bowls, burritos) and tequila. Previously a coffee shop, interested to see what it ends up being to tie these venues together.

Today's adventure brought us to Chef Danes first restaurant, a global comfort food diner called Culture. Culture is a pleasant, if a bit noisy at times, visceral experience of its namesake. The menu full of unique yet familiar dishes and ideas Invites one's culinary curiosity yet doesn't become unapproachable. On a different day I would have tried their Louisiana catfish, but today Patrick and I were on a mission. The specials were calling. Patrick and I have been trying to slowly become part of the Dayton community and Patrick's new job at Little Fish (a nearby bar and restaurant) has propelled us to dive further into our exploration. Patrick was made aware of Cultures new specials, a Thai cheesesteak and chicken tikka masala fries. We had to try them. So on this crisp and cold mid spring afternoon we decided to become cultured. First off we got the Chicken Tikka Masala Fries and we were quite impressed. I'm not the most familar with British Indian food (maybe a bit more than the average midwesterner but not by much) and the fries definitely brought a pleasant experience that Patrick an I enjoyed...but we didn't finish all of it at once. We saw a glimpse of what was to come and we didn't want to eat to fast and fill up to much. The picture I took does not do the Thai cheesesteak justice. It just had a certain presence coming off of the kitchen. We were sitting at the bar watching it all unfold for the most part and the smell was subtle yet hypnotizing. we finished maybe 3/5ths of the fries and waited for the sandwich. Once it got to use I cut it in half, Took as good of a pic as I could, Gave Patrick his half, And dug in. It might have been a bit too hot resulting in me burning my tongue but the flavor was encompassing. I could taste all the elements coming together in such a unique groove. Could be chalked up to just a damn good cheesesteak, they tend to illicit similar responses, but still. The first words out of my mouth after finishing that first bite were "holy shit". I then maybe finished the sandwich a bit fast but I couldn't help my self, i had to have it. It was so damn good. Well worth trying while they have it. To say anymore would spoil the experience. Anyway, I've rambled enough. I encourage you try Culture for yourself! Thank you. Drew, from Dayton
