Becspk Old School egg sandwich with home fries. Fantastic
Michael P.

Just like New Haven. Delicious breakfast sandwich with some home fries. Jennifer was an awesome server.

Omelette breakfast
Jennifer M.

Service was amazing and cute place. Food was ok. Menu is limited, but a good selection. 2 of us ordered the omelette w/ home fries and I ordered the 2 egg breakfast. I felt the home fries had no flavor, even when I added S&P I didn't enjoy them. They enjoyed their omelettes but agreed on the home fries.

Menu

Came in on a Monday morning at 9:30am, with my husband and daughter. The service was good and the server was very attentive, regularly checking up on us and offering us a refills on coffee. I was looking for a classic Northeastern diner level food and in that aspect, it was exactly what I expected. So, this place received good marks for the food and service. Unfortunately, the prices are really silly for diner quality food. There was nothing spectacular and it was nearly $60 out the door for 3 drinks, 2 plates and 2 eggs on the side. What you notice after you inspect the menu properly is that they remove a few dollars off of all of their plates to make it diner pricing but add it on to all of the drinks. Every single drink is $5 no matter what. That's regular coffee to apple juice to espresso. So, we paid $15 for the drinks alone. I personally find that to be deceiving. My diner cup of coffee being $5 is silly. I won't return and I won't recommend my family go there. If they fix their pricing to reflect the atmosphere and food quality, I would return

Western and waffles.

Good food as I had a Western with plenty of coffee. Although our food took sometime to come out. I noticed another couple getting their food faster. My wife had waffles and also very good.

Blt was so good on the whole grain bread

Bomboloni Café in Jensen Beach is truly a hidden gem. This small, quaint café has a charming…read moreEuropean flair and came highly recommended by a family member who happily makes the drive up from Jupiter Beach just for the food, service, and ambiance--and now we understand why. Our experience was nothing short of amazing. The owner, Giovanni, is a gracious and endearing host who pays attention to every detail. He made us feel genuinely welcomed, like we were family rather than dining out. From the most flavorful cold brew coffee to the heavenly light Italian pastries, every item we tried was exceptional. The avocado egg bowl was vibrant and full of flavor, the fresh focaccia paired beautifully with high-quality EVOO and balsamic reduction, and the dark cherry cheesecake was the perfect decadent finish. Every bite was outstanding. Bomboloni Café is an absolute must-visit--we can't wait to return.

The area isn't the nicest, but once you step inside, you completely forget about it. The place is very clean, cozy, and simple. The staff is attentive and friendly. You can tell the coffee is good quality, and the pastries are made in-house -- which is a big plus, since you can actually see the kitchen equipment and how clean everything is. The croissants are huge; we tried the chocolate one -- delicious dough and plenty of filling. The strawberry cheese Danish was another great choice. The chocolate ganache and raspberry tartlet didn't quite convince me, though. At the table next to us, they ordered some sandwiches (very large, by the way) and a soup or stew that, when they lifted the lid, filled the place with an incredible aroma... very tempting. It's definitely on my list to return. Next time, it'll be for lunch. By the way, they have a very interesting menu with Hungarian options, some elevated American variations, and several Italian dishes.

I only gave my husband one bite and the mussels were too die for! We came back 8 months later and the mussels are still on point the crab and corn fritters aren't fritters they aren't all bread. They're more like fried crab cake balls and the tartar sauce is superb! My husband this time got the scampi shrimp of course .he is not a pasta person. He absolutely loved it. My vodka parm was also very good. ( I never get anyone's because I make it every Christmas Eve for 40 people and mine to me is hard to beat) my husband is less bias and loves the parm. This place is a gem that needs more attention! Their drinks are spectacular also great wait staff and owner is super interactive!

The swordfish was tasty but had way too much miso on the plate, which made it hard to enjoy the rest of the dish. Portions on the other plates were huge. Fries were okay and a little soggy (which I don't mind), and my friend said the burger was above average. Food took a while to come out, but the ambiance was good -- nice music and a pleasant atmosphere.

In this case, the Key West Diner in Stuart, FL. I originally wanted a simple breakfast of those biscuits that were calling me. I figured I'd accompany my biscuits with an order of scrambled eggs and my usual tea latte. As you would expect by its name, Key West Diner has a nice Key West design and a really nice outdoor dining patio. Inside offered booth and table seating. One suggestion would be for the diner to play Island/boating type music instead of the standard pop channel they had on. This would add to the key West feel. Having said that, let's move on to the dining experience. I don't usually go over what a restaurant offers on their menu since I assume if you're reading this review you are on their site. Suffice to say, their menu is the typical diner menu. Looking over the menu of course I noticed they had no biscuits! So much for satisfying my biscuit yearning. At least they had a Taylor Ham and egg on a hard roll. A breakfast I will always happily choose. So, my biscuit breakfast would have to wait for another day. Next I ordered my Latte tea. You guessed it, no steamed milk. One final request topped it all... the WiFi password. Yep, no WiFi! This is clearly not a killer if you're dining with someone but, it's definitely a negative for anyone dining alone. I haven't seen many places that don't offer WiFi but Key West Diner is obviously one of them. To me, when dining alone, reading on my iPad brings back memories of reading the morning paper while eating breakfast. Or in this case, forcing me to post a review AFTER I leave the location. Enough about what this diner doesn't have, let's move on to what they do offer. First, the service; I was seated quickly by a host and my server arrived soon thereafter. She served me with a smile and brought everything I asked for correctly and efficiently. She did a really nice job of being there when I needed her but not constantly pestering me during my meal. Well done. Now my meal; My Taylor Ham featured two eggs and two thick slices of Taylor Ham. The eggs were made perfectly as requested (Overeasy) and lo and behold, the sandwich was on a Kaiser roll! It's not often you get a Taylor Ham and egg on a Kaiser roll (the correct way to make it) but that's what we had here. Unfortunately, although the Taylor Ham and eggs were spot on,, the roll did not live up to expectations. Sadly it was not crispy on the outside and had more of a white bread consistency. Too bad because I really did appreciate the attempt. My tea was fine (considering the lack of steamed milk) Bottom line; The key I always ask of any place I visit... would I come back? In Key West Diners case, more than likely, no. Not because it's bad, simply because it's nothing special AND it doesn't offer WiFi.

The bartender Jennifer was awesome! The drinks were on point, the food was great and the prices were reasonable. The service was great and the food came out in a timely manner.

Hidden on a tiny road that runs amongst condos and nothing else, Tidehouse at first would seem like…read morean afterthought for the condo association. But, don't let that first impression fool you. THE AMBIANCE: Once you climb the stairs (yes they have an outdoor elevator), you'll enter a wide expanse of the St Lucie River with hundreds of boats at dock. The view is simply stunning. You can choose to sit inside (why you'd make this choice is beyond me), or if you like music, choose the active fun loving crowd on the patio bar or dine dockside where you'll have an expansive view of the river. We chose the latter. Either way, this is an experience dining unlike any other in the Stuart area. THE SERVICE: We were served by Anna. With a smile and a an enthusiasm that showed she loved her job, she explained a bit of the history of the restaurant and gave a thorough overview of the offerings. Anna was a servers server who knew when to stop by without being intrusive, when to fill our glasses and when to be there when we needed her. I'm not sure if all the serving staff are as good as Anna but, If you're lucky enough to get one of her tables count your blessings. Even the buss boys served with a smile and efficiency that you don't often see. On one occasion one of our party spilled catchup and asked for an additional napkin. The buss boy didn't go and tell the server (which is the norm) but instead "immediately" returned with a napkin and cleaned the spill himself. In today's "I hate my job" world, it was so nice to experience a time when staff served with a smile that conveyed "I love my job"! THE FOOD: For our appetiser, we chose to share a bowl of their Maryland Crab Soup. The menu states "Tomato broth, vegetables, crab meat". Doesn't sound like much, right? But, don't let that simple description fool you, this slightly spicy soup was a delicious meal in itself. I highly recommend you share a bowl if you intend to leave room for an entree. For our entrees, my lovely bride chose to start with the Tide Chopped Salad which features fresh greens, tomato, cucumber, bell pepper, radish, and avocado, graced with an outstanding sherry vinaigrette. From there she chose the Steak and Shrimp combo which featured a 10oz NY Strip & 3 jumbo fried shrimp. She added the garlic mashed potatoes. Her mashed potatoes were scrumptious and her jumbo shrimp combined a crispy breadcrumb topping complimenting the juicy shrimp within. Tough and a bit grizzly, unfortunately, the steak was the outlier to the rest of the dish. I chose the Steak & Cake combo with coconut rice and macaroni and cheese sides. Because they're usually bread cakes with a few pieces of crab hidden throughout, I'm not usually a crab cake lover but, Anna Banana (her suggestion of a name) convinced me that, because the new owner came from Maryland and brought with him his family crab cake recipe, I needed to "experience" the best crab cake I'll ever have, and so, I took the plunge. Sadly, my steak was just as poor a cut of beef as my wife's but those crab cakes... oh those crab cakes were everything Anna Banana said, and than some! I've never had a crab cake that came close! The crab cakes come with a mustard base dipping sauce but, believe me, you'll not want to mar the perfection by dipping. My sides were also great. The coconut rice was not overpowering with just a hint of coconut as an aftertaste and my macaroni & cheese (which I don't usually order unless I have kids with me) was creamy and cheesy. For dessert, we decided to try the Key Lime pie. Not sure about the rest of the desserts but the Key Lime pie was a definite winner with just the right tartness resting on a tasty graham cracker crust (as a true Key Lime pie should have) and a wonderfully creamy texture. THE BOTTOM LINE: As with all my reviews the "customer so what" is would I come back? Even though I'd stay away from the steaks, you bet I'd come back! I would ask for the deck dining room, be seated in Anna "Bananas" serving area and make sure I included those out of this world crab cakes in my meal!
