Such a cute place! All the decor and even the plates!…read more I ordered the French toast sandwich and my husband got the lobster omelette. We split them both so we could try them. The lobster omelet was good but we both agreed the French toast sandwich was better. My husband was wearing his fire shirt. He doesn't like to when we go out because he never asks or expects any sort of discount. But when I messaged him to meet for brunch he was just getting off a long shift and it was all he had. Although we tried to decline they did give us a discount on our meal. Food came out quickly. Service was good. Prices are a tad higher than we normally spend on brunch but this definitely felt a little more upscale than our normal diner. Would definitely stop again.

Just had delivery via Grubhub. What an absolute piece of…read mores*it breakfast that was! I ordered the wild mushroom omelet with a side of fruit, and sourdough "toast". The omelet was damn near tasteless, with barely any mushrooms in it. What you could taste was spinach only. The side of fruit was 20 little pieces, 11 of which were rotting. The sourdough "toast" was one piece of sourdough, folded in half, completely untoasted, and there was no jam/jelly included. I CANNOT BELIEVE they sent that slop out to a customer! If I owned that restaurant, I would definitely check every single order before it went to a customer, whether dine in or carryout, and hire all new cooks. Do not waste your money. You will be sorely disappointed.

From the initial walk through the door to meeting our server, the atmosphere and all of the details are there, including a awesome outdoor patio for seating. Our server, Teagan was wonderful, right off the bat, professional and very attentive to our needs. I ordered the chicken bowl, and my wife had the shrimp tacos with Brussel sprouts. Food was excellent, especially the lime sauce on the chicken bowl. Presentation of the food was top notch. I'll give this place a 10/10 all day from what we experienced. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food served, service and atmosphere. Our total was approximately $20/PP plus tip. They have a separate menu for Gluten Free, which I thoroughly enjoyed and ordered off of. Would LOVE to have this place in Peoria, IL. Thanks!!!!

They had plenty of options for both of us! They also offer many options for those without dietary restrictions.

I tried the Veggie Centricity, which is Roasted cauliflower, signature Brussels sprouts and fried polenta over a bed of smashed cauliflower drizzled with a parmesan cream sauce and balsamic reduction. This is one of the best vegetarian dishes I've had- it was so filling (over 20 year vegetarian too). I had 3 meals out of it. Our server was helpful and friendly. Food is pricy, but worth it! We will definitely visit again when we return to Wisconsin!

Such a cutesy aesthetic place with lovely service and amazing amazing food!…read more Got the seasonal Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Pancakes and they were a 10 on 10! Really strong amount of pumpkin spice flavor and the perfect cinnamon swirl going on there. The cream cheese topping on top along with that maple syrup really was a lovely combination. It also had some fresh strawberries on top but I had those plain because I really love the pumpkin and cream cheese and cinnamon and maple combination. I ordered the short stack and it just disappeared. Would definitely recommend getting the big one here! The bakery section in the front was also so appetizing. Everything was so appealing! I bought the lavender blueberry scone and it was delicious. A strong amount of lavender and strong amount of blueberry flavor coming through and overall so tender and soft even 2 days later! I can totally see why this place is all the hype because I went on a Tuesday morning and they still had nearly every table full!

Went to Marigold Kitchen and was really impressed!…read more I was in Madison for a layover and I asked the hotel receptionist if he had any recs for breakfast- he pointed me to Marigold Kitchen. The atmosphere is homey and the staff were warm and attentive. I like how it's located in the center of downtown. I got a seasonal pumpkin spice muffin and fresh squeezed orange juice to start. The muffin was soft and had good pumpkin flavor. The OJ was pulpy and fresh. I also got an americano, which was bold and smooth. For the main breakfast, I got the breakfast bowl and subbed sweet potato for regular potato. The bowl was outstanding! The verde slaw was unique but super refreshing. The meat and potato combo was spiced nicely and satisfying. The chipotle aioli added a welcomed heat and the eggs were fluffy and delicious. All of this was under $25! Great pricing.

It was off the highway, so I thought I would give it a go. Walked in and it was what you would expect from a Wisconsin diner -- old carpeting, waitresses who are lifers, and signage from the bygone era. I sat at the bar, with barstools that came about 4 feet off the ground, and asked the cordially waitress what was good. She rattled off about 3/4 of the breakfast menu so I needed a few minutes. A few minutes passed and I went with the Krab Cakes Benedict (why the K?) and the Cottage Platter. The crab cakes were decent (definitely better than the Cottage Platter), but very crisp on the outside, straddling the line of burnt, and somewhat cooked on the inside. Light on the seasoning. As they say on the cooking shows, it was screaming for some acidity...or in this case some Old Bay. Then the Cottage Platter, which I was very much looking forward to, fell flat for me. The hashbrowns had a funky taste to them, which I couldn't quite place. And again, overall, the dish was lacking in flavor. Would I go out of my way to hit this place up again? Most likely not. If I was in the area and wanted to try something else, I probably would.

It came with either soup or salad and I picked the lentil soup even though it was 95 degrees outside. I thought it was quite good and might try to make at home sometime! The shawarma plate was huge! I think two people could have shared this and sadly, I couldn't finish it all. The pita bread was nice and fluffy and the chicken had a nice taste, although I expected it to maybe have paprika and hummus with it but it did not. The rice was fine - it didn't have too much flavor but was cooked well. Overall, I enjoyed eating here! The restaurant was kind of hot inside. They had fans going but I'm not sure if the air was working or if maybe they don't have air, but it was a little stuffy. Some outdoor seating as well for when it's not so hot outside and the air quality is better (this area was experiencing some smoke from the Canadian wildfires).

All I can say is OMG ... the food is out of this world! We got takeout today. We split between two adults, were both full and still had a little leftover. Country fried steak with gravy, hash browns and scrambled eggs. REAL steak ... not that pressed together kind you normally get. Gravy was obviously homemade and reminded me of what I always had in the south. I can not say enough about the food. Second time I've eaten there and lunch we had prior was just as good. Everything homemade and with much care in quality. Bonus is that, unlike some places we've ordered takeout from, the food was still hot when we got it home. read more

The omelette was OK like 2.5 stars with fresh spinach, tomatoes, olives and feta cheese. The eggs were overcooked leaning heavily toward rubbery.

I ordered the apple pie but it had a crumb topping which was very blond in color with a thick underbelly of floured glue! Yuck I complained and was told that this is how they make their pies and if I wanted a full top crust- well only cherry and peach apple have double crusts. Cherry pie did have a double crust and the filling was almost thick enough to hold up my fork! I'm not sure that the cherry filling was not canned. What do you think?

All three of us opted for their breakfast sandwich which you can build with many different variations - way more than most restaurants. All three versions were tasty.
