    Very atmospheric spot in Smyrna, great for brunch and lunch. Happy hour and daily event listing in photos below. Our food was fine and cooked properly. I got crepes with cherries and cream. There were just two preserved cherries on top, with cherry flavored whipped cream inside. I would have preferred more fruit but that's just my personal preference. Husband got the French toast combo which was also cooked well. Decaf coffees. No espresso or cappuccino drinks as machine was down. No oat milk, but almond milk available. No celery for bloody marys. Overall I'd come for the atmosphere, with the food of secondary importance.

    Manhattan! In Delaware....

    Great restaurant in Smyrna Delaware. It's in an old house that is decorated and has furniture from the period when the house was built which is early 20th century. It's a bit tight for an elderly person to get in and navigate but, the staff was accommodating and the food and cocktails were delicious. Definitely check them out if you happen to be in Smyrna.

    New York strip bleu cheese crostini

    The New York Strip Bleu Cheese Crostini was unbelievable. Best thing I've eaten in months. And we really loved the layout and atmosphere; it felt like being invited to a dinner party at a friend's home.

    A charming restaurant rich with old world ambiance and great food. This nicely preserved Victorian building is abundantly filled with antique decor and furnishings which immediately transform diners into a time period of elegance and class. The atmosphere is relaxed yet confident as the host welcomes you upon entry. Our table was set next to the fireplace, but it still felt private enough (at least for lunch). The menu allows for dietary restrictions and our server was attentive to my wife's food allergy. As an appetizer, my wife had the French onion soup which she thoroughly enjoyed. For main entry she had the Avocado toast. I opted for the seared Mahi Tuna tacos for my lunch. The portions were modest, but filling. We'll definitely return. It's refreshing to find restaurants like this (especially in this area) that properly blend an upscale dining setting with modern menu selections.

    They serve wine and has a full bar

    Located in a historical house, love the atmosphere and service. Stuffed avocado looks good but it was too simple. Maybe some light background music since the voices somehow echo in the mansion? :)

    BLUF: Go check it out, you won't regret it…read more TLDR: OMG I'm so glad I stumbled upon this adorable coffee shop on cozy Main Street in North East, MD. It was just me, so I only got half a dozen donuts with a knife so I could taste them all! I tried: Cookies & Cream, Salted Caramel, Maple Bacon, Toasted Coconut, Chai, and Fluffernuter. Let me start by saying the cake part of these donuts is just perfect. Not too dense, lightly crisp on the outside, and insanely fresh. The toppings might sound over the top, but they weren't. They were perfectly subtle to add a hint of flavor without a dose of diabetes. And the coffee- such unique lattes both in name and flavors. I went with Davy Joey's Locker with an extra shot of espresso. So good. Not overly sweet and not bitter at all. And then I just had to try the cute little pistachio cannoli. Shell was filled upon ordering, so the shell was nice and crispy. Now this was super sweet, but I haven't met a cannoli yet that wasn't! Barista was friendly & bubbly and patient when it took me some time to pick my 6 donuts. Basic tables and chairs with some bench seating along the window. Pillows & chairs could use a refresh, as well as the bathroom, looking a bit worn & dingy, but that's literally the only negative thing about this place.

    Been here a couple times. Donuts were good. I was in the area and wanted to stop by. Unfortunately…read morethis place is closed down. No signs for any renovations or opening again.
