    The image shows the interior of a casual dining restaurant with wooden tables and black chairs. Several customers are seated, some engaged in conversation or eating. The decor includes framed artwork on the white walls and a stone accent wall on the right. The ceiling features exposed ductwork and a mix of lighting fixtures. In the foreground, a table holds a basket filled with condiment packets and a rolled napkin. The overall atmosphere appears relaxed and informal.

    Passing through and stopped in for breakfast. We both had a simple breakfast, eggs, home fries, toast, and bacon. Food was cooked to order and not bad. The server was prompt and accommodating. The decor was a little dated, the vibe boring. If you're looking for average food and a quick in and out this spot is for you. No frills, just food.

    Caprese Omelette with rye bread - A man with glasses and a gray beard is seated at a wooden table in a restaurant, holding a fork and looking down at a plate of breakfast food. The plate contains scrambled eggs with vegetables, roasted potatoes, and toast. There is a glass of yellow beverage and a small container of syrup or sauce on the table. A smartphone is placed next to the plate, and a window with natural light and a plant are visible in the background.

    I found a week day breakfast/lunch place that offers Mimosas! My husband and I are on an adventure of dining at all of the Natick restaurants! We were seated at a table for 2. My husband felt cold from the above AC vent. I went over to another empty table to see if it would be better for us. The owner saw me, I told him the situation, he said Let me help you and moved all our place settings to the new table. So I get my delicious tropical fruit juice blend Mimosa while we wait comfortable for our meals. I enjoyed looking at the pretty window box flowers. Husband was happy with his pancakes and he's a pancake connoisseur! I had my first ever caprese omelette. The mozzarella and roasted tomatoes were delizioso.

    Eggs benny - The image shows a breakfast plate with two eggs Benedict topped with hollandaise sauce, served on bread with ham. Accompanying the eggs are roasted potatoes with a slightly crispy exterior. A small black container of ketchup is also on the plate. The meal is placed on a wooden table, with a butter knife and a glass of a light-colored beverage nearby.

    This place hits the spot! Quaint place! Servers were attentive. Food was so good and they make a yummy Bloody Mary !

    Coffee mug - A large orange ceramic mug with black speckles, filled with coffee, is placed on a wooden table. In the background, there are salt and pepper shakers, a napkin, an orange mug, and a person wearing a purple shirt. The setting appears to be a casual dining environment, possibly a breakfast or lunch spot.

    Breakfast! New place. I know the area and if you remember where the dolphin restaurant was, you'll know it too. Parking is limited. Very intimate. Seated quickly, menus in hand. Breakfast choices a plenty. Settled on "the Spartan" (scrambled eggs, bacon, pork sausages, pancakes). Fresh and hot. Coffee was good too. For 8:20 in the morning. Busy but not loud at all. Close and intimate so you don't have to yell to be heard. Easy check out and got to meet Eli, will be back!

    Stopped here for breakfast with my husband while in town visiting family. The restaurant was on the smaller side but we didn't have to wait for a table although they were busy. I ordered the French toast and the loaded tater tots which were both good. I didn't really like the spicy mayo with the tater tots but ketchup worked fine. I did like that the syrup was served warm with the French toast. The waiter was good and attentive. Overall it was a good breakfast experience.

    Breakfast Burrito with some cheesy tots blurred in the back - A breakfast meal includes two burritos cut in half, revealing a filling of tomatoes, beans, and other ingredients. The plate also has roasted potatoes with a crispy exterior and a small cup of salsa. The meal is served on a round ceramic plate on a wooden table, with a fork placed beside the burritos. In the background, there is another plate with similar breakfast items, a glass of water, and condiments on the table.

    Had a lovely experience getting some warm comforting brunch goodies this morning, especially as I was wanting something on the lighter side that I could wolf down with ease. I must say that the breakfast burrito really hit the spot, with how soft the scrambled eggs were and how the textures within the wrap complemented each other quite nicely. Though the real star of the morning would probably be the cheesy tots, with how flavorful they were and how satisfyingly crispy each and every bite was - it was definitely something to consume while fresh and hot! Great and friendly service, comfy and cozy atmosphere, and portions that were just right for an easygoing morning fare. I'd totally come back again!

    Coffee - A ceramic coffee mug filled with a light brown beverage, likely coffee with milk or cream, is positioned on a wooden table. The mug has an orange handle and is placed next to a menu with breakfast, omelets, and other food options. Part of a checkered paper bag is visible in the upper right corner of the image.

    Great local spot for lunch! I love the art on the wall of vintage kitchen tools. They typically fill up for brunch and will have a wait 11:00am so get there early or be prepared to wait. Prices are very reasonable and they are very generous about keeping your coffee full. If you do have to wait, stay put it's worth it.

    Rise N' Shine w/ scrambled eggs, andouille sausage, home fries, and marble rye. - A breakfast plate includes scrambled eggs, two slices of toasted bread, a sausage link, home fries, and a small container of ketchup, served on a white plate. The meal is set on a wooden table, with additional dishes partially visible in the background.

    Big portions of decent breakfast foods, with a menu focused on egg-based options, including a wide selection of omelets. I opted for the Rise 'N Shine w/ two scrambled eggs, home fries, andouille sausage, and marble rye toast. A few little tweaks could kick this from 3.5/4 stars to 5 stars. The andouille provided a strong, smoky spicy kick, that the relatively bland skin-on earthy potatoes needed. The scrambled eggs were too well done for my liking, but to be fair, I didn't request them any particular way. Marble rye was nice choice, but it always bugs me when they put a dollop of butter in the center rather than taking a moment to spread it crust-to-crust. The restaurant ambience is pleasant enough and the temperature inside was comfortable, but it is in a weird building that doesn't seem to be heated in the hallway or bathroom, so the bathroom is freezing and had no hot water. On the bright side, the portions are perfect - enough that you can skip lunch or have some leftovers. Coffee was smooth and hot with refills upon request. The fruit cup is more like a fruit bowl, with a nice amount of honeydew, cantaloupe, pineapple, and grapes. Service was prompt and friendly on a busy Saturday morning.

We walked in on a Sat afternoon, which would be a perfect time to visit for any family you'd expect. The concept of this place needs an explanation to hook a customer, but unfortunately there wasn't a single employee in sight. We had to pull up the website for more info. We walked around, there's an upstairs with a dining area. It was sparse and seemed neglected, again no staff except for a single incredibly bored looking hostess. But this is what the review is for. As we were standing there just looking around we noticed an area sectioned off near the bar. Under the tables there were MULTIPLE RODENTS scurrying around, some with food. When I brought it up to the hostess she just shrugged, entirely unfazed, and said "yeah, we know." There were people eating nearby. We left immediately. This place is a disaster and should be shut down.

Our server was patient as we perused the menu and caught up with friends. I started with the equinox, which is their signature bourbon and cognac cocktail ($18) - it was good! The soft, pillowy rolls with butter was a nice start...who doesn't love delicious bread?! The steak frites ($41) was one of their specials that evening, and frankly, it wasn't too special. While it was a nice sized piece of sirloin that was cooked to my requested medium rare, it was a little tough and desperately needed the herbed butter it was served with. However, the menu offers a good variety of entrees, so there is something for everyone. We shared several desserts ($12 each), and again, all were good versions of familiar fare, such as creme brulee, bread pudding, flourless chocolate cake. The restaurant really seems to fit this affluent Boston suburb...a bit conservative, a bit pricy, nothing offensive or too risky, but everything done pretty well, if not especially memorable.
