    Latte
    Y C.

    Starting this review by saying thank you to manager Michael who made our experience here so much better with great customer service and attention to detail. Stopped into this restaurant mid afternoon. The place was busy as expected and had to wait around 20 mins to get seated. They serve breakfast, brunch, and lunch. I took a photo of the menu. Got seated. You can tell this place is a local eatery around this town. Lots of servers and the manager was out greeting customers and helping expedite food, which you don't see very often. I ordered the avocado toast, which I was a bit bummed that not only didn't have real avocado, (it was more of a spread), what avocado was there was minimal. It was more cheese than anything else. The presentation was very nice though and it came with fruit. It was good, was just hoping for a bit more avocado. I also ordered a latte. We ordered the French toast with biscuits and gravy on the side. The French toast came without powder sugar, the biscuit had the gravy on top. The manager immediately had it fixed by bringing new biscuits and a side of powder sugar. The waiter disappeared for a bit and we were left waiting on syrup. We couldn't even find him to ask until maybe 15 minutes later. By then, we were so hungry, we were eating them without the syrup. Moving on to the waffles, which we specifically asked without whipped cream on top. Again, we received it with whipped cream, and again the Manager was on it to provide us a new one. Waiter - still not around. The western omelette, we had asked for eggs to be well cooked. They were not. I think the waiter was not paying attention to details, but you know who was, the Manager. Food was good, once little things were fixed and even with all of this that happened. I would go back and try this restaurant again. I would 100% give it another chance because of Michael. He even made sure to say good bye to us with a nice smile. (I captured a quick pic of him)

    Hot Chocolate

    Oh what a great breakfast place! I came here with a large group after a long walk event. I was ready for a delicious breakfast and a warm drink! As we waited for our table to be ready, they have a little coffee station and a basket with warm corn bread bites! Those were tasty! We did not have to wait long for a table! I was in the mood for hot chocolate and they did not disappoint! It was delicious! For my dish, I ordered the western omelette with breakfast potatoes and toast. Everything was delicious! Our waitress was kind and attentive! The food came out in a timely manner. This place is good for large groups.

    Huevos Rancheros on black beans.

    Lots of tables and great service. I had the Huevos Rancheros. It was awful. There was no sauce on the eggs, on tortillas on the side. Tasteless meal with mostly black beans. The pico de gallo made it almost edible. I should have known not to order it because this is not a Mexican restaurant. Nothing special about this place. I don't think it is worth a second try. There are better places in the neighborhood. Go to Bonefish for the same money.

    Famous French toast

    Really cute place for breakfast! Loved the French toast. They serve it with warm syrup. We had it with turkey bacon that was surprisingly really good! The shrimp and grits was pretty good but I like a more texture on it. Their version is very creamy. Service was quick and friendly. You pay up front. Bathrooms are clean, too!

    Famous Hash
    John H.

    Sunday morning spot after cycling in the nearby loop. It was great since we got there before 8 and the "rush" had not started yet. Since it wasn't busy, we were seated right away and our server was super attentive and friendly. Had the Famous Hash and the coffee kept coming. Eggs over easy and sour dough toast was awesome. Great experience overall and it was starting to pick up after we paid the check and headed out. Parking lot is a little funky since the restaurant wasn't exactly "FULL" when we were leaving, but there were no parking spaces to be had. ALSO - this location is on the end of a commercial strip that shares the parking lot so I'm sure it's gotta be frustrating to find a spot when brunch/breakfast is full swing here. Other than the parking, there's a fairly large outdoor patio that a lot of folks were gravitating toward. There's also a covered outdoor space as well so I'm sure those shutters and coverings come off to expand outdoor seating more. Since we got there at an ideal time, we just sat inside. Sections and tables a spread out so people aren't on top of each other but I'm sure during peak it's hard to avoid other parties.

    Went to Charlotte for the weekend and wanted a good brunch spot. Our original planned location had a line out the door, so we found this close by. It was a good crowd of people, but seemed to move quickly. My only complaints was seating and some younger server running. If he runs into someone with hot coffee or food, it could get ugly. As far as the seating, we were sat after several couples and small families despite arriving first. Not sure of their system. Anywho, our server Angela was great. She knew that menu like the back of her hand. I ordered a breakfast bowl with the sausage gravy and chorizo. Listen, it was so flavorful! The coffee was good and strong too. I also got a peach bellini; real refreshing and strong. I'd absolutely recommend it.

    Cali Benedict

    was fine. I loved avocado Benedict. Everything was served pretty fast, they have a planty of parking spots there.

    It's alright tbh. The drinks were STRONG but they weren't necessarily good. Server was friendly :) I came here because my gf wanted eggs Benedict so bad and it got the job done. I just wish my burrito had more flavor. Bagel with schmear was perfect tho

    Bloody Mary. Gotta wait until 10:01 to order
    Brad M.

    First time visiting one of these and over all, it was very good. Big menu, the staff was friendly and efficient. We checked in on the way, so didn't need to wait long to be seated. I ordered the grits (on special), they were amazing. Creamy, cheesy, mild spice which I pepped up with some Texas Pete. The bloody Mary was good, came with 3 olives, celery and lime.

    It's a quick serve restaurant but for it being that, it is pretty good. I usually get the stuffed French toast and enjoy it.

    This is the happy groom of a dream wedding!…read more My new wife and I are proud foodies and we eat in very high end restaurants. We shopped around through about 5 different well-known caterers in Charlotte, NC. None of the caterer's scored very high on our score card (and yeah, that's right we made a score card...wedding's are expensive and we weren't going to chance something as important as food). Then...our wedding planner pointed us to one final option. Mellorina's Catering Llc. Talk about an unexpected location. But I will testify Mel is a true pearl hidden in the depths of the ocean. Her professionalism, her prices, her food...OMG HER FOOD!!!!! I was born and raised in the south and I have not tasted chicken that tasted that good in my entire life. She is so flexible too. She made us a curry tofu dish, she made us a carribbean rice & peas, she made the most amazing mac & cheese, delectable corn bread, flawless dinner rolls. This woman's food is serious, she should be a 5 star chef, with her own restaurant, cooking books, the whole nine yards. All in all, if you want to know what caterer to use for your event in Charlotte, NC (or any surrounding areas) please stop wasting your time, stop searching, and find Mel. Find her catering company, and do whatever you have to do to get her on the books. There were many things that fell into place to make our wedding a dream come true. But one of the main reasons is because of the food & service from : Mellorina's Catering Llc You don't believe me, give the food a taste and see for yourself

We were literally in the middle of getting ready for her wedding rehearsal when my sister got a call from her venue, The Magnolia Room. The venue was calling to say that there were no bartenders, no staff, and possibly not even any catering because the vendors told them they weren't coming -- they hadn't been paid. You can imagine the shock, panic, and heartbreak my sister felt getting this news the day before her wedding, while she's trying to enjoy what should have been a joyful moment with her family and friends. She checked her email and found a message from the caterer where he casually said that he would "no longer be able to take care of the wedding tomorrow due to health issues." That was it. No phone call, no warning -- just an email less than 24 hours before the wedding. He even sent her a list of the vendors he had never paid, despite the fact that my sister had paid him months ago, in full. Because of his complete failure and dishonesty, my sister had to come out of pocket again -- at the last minute -- to pay for services she had already paid him for. I watched her, exhausted, in tears, calling around to salvage her own wedding because of this man's utter lack of responsibility. My sister still has not received her money despite his promise of refunding her within 14 days after the wedding. I wouldn't wish this experience on anyone. It was heartbreaking to watch my sister go through this -- the stress, the expense, the betrayal -- all because someone took her money, made empty promises, and walked away. Do not trust this company with your event.

Less than 24 hours before my wedding, Alexander Cruz canceled on us after having been paid months and even years in advance through multiple payments. He claimed it was due to "health issues," but that doesn't excuse the fact that he never paid any of the subcontractors -- no rental company, no staffing company, no bartenders. They all confirmed to us that he never paid them, even though we had already paid him in full. He left us scrambling at the last minute, nearly ruining our wedding. His lack of professionalism and accountability is shocking. One week after our wedding, he still has not refunded us a single cent. To make matters worse, his supposed coordinator, Gina Ricca, completely ghosted us. When things fell apart, she simply disappeared without offering any help, apology, or explanation. At this point, it's clear this is not just poor business practice -- it's dishonest and borderline fraudulent behavior. He took our money, failed to deliver the service, failed to pay his subcontractors, and is now avoiding responsibility. He is a scammer, and I would strongly warn anyone against trusting him with your money or your event.
