Menu is a bit contemporary making it a little challenging to understand initially. Don't assume the portions are small because the menu is! If you leave hungry it's your fault. We all ordered the Hook Line and Sinker (traditional meat/eggs/side/bread). We also added a pancake and a waffle to the table, a shareable dessert if you will. Eggs were cooked perfectly, as ordered. Meats- bacon and city ham, bacon was thick and cooked to the perfect 'crunch' without being burnt. Ham had the perfect sear with great flavor. Breakfast potatoes-great, grits-great without clumps, biscuit-average, toast as expected. Pancake (huge, plate sized)! Yummy! Waffle, typical Belgian thick style, a little heavy and meal-y but overall good. Atmosphere was clean, family mimosa and milk friendly

We were seated by the hostess as soon as we walked in and our server came over to greet us. She answered some questions about the menu and was happy to substitute out items for my kid on the kid's breakfast; she was polite and made sure to keep checking on us during our meal.

The menu posted had a variety of options you could order. When we sat down we informed that they only had a buffet breakfast now. We reluctantly decided to have the buffet. Well that was a mistake. The buffet consisted of powdered tasteless scrambled eggs half cooked bacon, biscuits, frozen fried hash browns and the worst patty sausage I can ever remember. Oh yes and a bowl mixed fruit. All this for $17.00 each. We assumed the coffee we ordered would be included but we were wrong. I was horrible coffee for a mere 6 bucks extra. The food quality was worse than a budget hotel free buffet but in our case the room we were in was $360.00 a night. This hotel should be embarrassed by their greedy gouging practices and false website info and it is an actual insult to anyone that stays at their hotel. Can't tell you about lunch or dinner because I would be reluctant to eat anything from this restaurant. Oh yes a bottle of water in our room is $8.00. What do you expect for 360.00 dollars for a very dated, well worn hotel room.

Something has to be said if a place is open for more than 100 years. And was impressed for a small town restaurant. Nice decor, good service, and impressive food.

First of all this appears to be the only high end restaurant in this town. That in itself is…read morepretty awesome. I went 2 x's. First time just dessert , second time a meal. Fresh Catch of the day: spinach, artichoke, tomato, balsamic rice, lemon caper sauce. Fish: Red Snapper (catch of the day) (or last weeks catch but frozen) I forgot to take a picture: what they got right - the ingredients shown on the menu. They got this perfect. Fish: not so much. They have access to the freshest fish in the world, and that poor slab of fish looked pan seared on a dry pan, unseasoned, and I'm pretty sure it was frozen up like a hashbrown patty. Thank goodness for all of the other ingredients which helped me get down the rest of it. Desserts: mousse cake and pecan tartlet. Mousse cake definitely very rich and dense 3 out of 5 Pecan tartlet with icecream - 5 out of 5 Service was nice and Ambiance they had both inside and outside seating. It was ok

We couldn't find the cafe and asked one of the hotel workers/maid where it was and she completely ignored us and then pretended like she couldn't understand English after asking three different times where was the cafe or restaurant. We finally found the cafe ourselves walked in looking for some help and saw a gentleman sitting at a table with another employee talking, he looked over at us and said just sit wherever. He didn't even bother to get up from the table where he was sitting talking, no help no nothing. We sat ourselves at a table no menus nothing. Finally a waitress came over, poured water and we asked for two cups of coffee. She brought them right out, still no menues, and both cups of coffee were cold to luke warm at best. The guy who wouldn't get off his butt to seat us came up and asked if we were ready to order even though we still had no menues, and we told him our coffee was cold and he copped an attitude and that was it we got up and left. We stopped at the local store to pick up a snack and told the lady about our experience and she said that many of the people working there act that way and she never recommends that place. I can see why and we'll never stop, stay, or recommend.
