    Getting my car worked on across the street at DeVine Automotive (excellent trustworthy shop), and walked over here for breakfast. Wonderfully friendly couple greeted me right away, made suggestions for food and drink. Made small talk about other things, very welcoming. The marzipan cappuccino was delicious. I ordered the Spanish omelette, it was loaded with cheese and meat. The homemade verde was delicious, and the thick local sourdough bread awesome. I'm a sucker for thin sliced home fries and they were just right. I look forward to coming back here soon! One of the other perks was no music playing. I expressed my appreciation for this, as there's very few places you can get away from constant noise anymore. Imagine that, being able to enjoy some much needed peace, read a little, or even talk with your company and not fight to hear each other. Come try this place, you won't regret it.

    One sad note: the proprietor of the business, Mr. Fortino, recently under went surgery for stomach cancer. Anyone who's been a frequent customer at Fortis Cafe knows how wonderful and hard-working the husband and wife team that operates this establishment. Friends and family of Mr. Fortino has set up a GoFundMe page on his behalf to raise the funds for his surgery/hospitalization. He dropped by the restaurant, aided by his lovely wife although in a very limited capacity; he look so gaunt now and I just wanted to share this news with the other Yelpers in hopes that the Yelp Community could spread the word and help their business, i.e. Mr. Fortino. Thank you in advance, everyone! We had brunch at Fortis Cafe yesterday, just before noon. The restaurant was lightly busy; fortunately for our party of 4, there was a table in the middle of the restaurant that could accommodate us. The gentleman that took our order (Chuy according to another customer who called him by name), was pleasant. We ordered an al pastor Benedict, a club sandwich, a pancake combination plate, biscuit and gravy. The food arrived quickly; everything was hot, fresh and masterfully prepared. Each one of us enjoyed our meals. Everything tasted great.

    My friend and I went to Fortis Cafe for breakfast. We were seated right away and the vibe was relaxed and cozy. Just the right atmosphere for a good catch up session. I went with the Eggs Benedict with Bacon and Avocado. Wow, it didn't disappoint. The sauce was perfect, not too heavy, but creamy enough to really bring the whole dish together. The house potatoes were amazing too! They were crispy on the outside, soft inside, just the way they should be. The coffee was a nice surprise too! Just the way I like it , rich and strong! The food came out super quickly, so no long waits which was great. Fortis Cafe is open for breakfast and lunch from 7 a.m.- 2p.m. Monday -Sunday.

    Really cute family owned/operated business. Service very prompt and friendly. Coffee was fresh and strong which my husband loved and my hot tea was perfect. We had the stuffed French toast breakfast and the eggs Benedict with a couple of modifications which they were very helpful about. Portions are generous and everything was prepared beautifully. The sauce for the Benedict was a little different than traditional hollandaise but it was absolutely delicious-my husband was stealing it to get it on his potatoes! The potatoes were crispy and seasoned beautifully and the stuffed French toast was light and so good! I substituted fresh fruit on my order for potatoes and it was very fresh. You can tell they put a lot of love into this restaurant. My first visit but we are already planning to return for lunch. Definitely worth a visit!

    Vegetable Omelet

    Location wise - you'd miss this cute little place if you're not looking for it! Located on the backside of the parking lot. Small and quaint, but they can accommodate large groups. They also have patio seating when it's warm enough. The staff were so friendly and welcoming! Very quick service. The menu is small, but they have a decent variety and various types of coffees. They also have different specials each day. I tried the vegetable omelette. Everything was fresh and cooked well. The home fries/potatoes were delicious! I'll definitely be back again.

    This was a nice little cafe. It was not super busy for being a weekend. I was a bit shocked, but it could be just early morning. I got the pastor omelet. I liked the pastor flavors and ate it with tortilla. The egg was super fluffy, but I didn't taste the pastor at first with the fluffiness blocking it's beautiful taste. I think next time I'll get the pastor plate so I cam have the eggs. Either way the omelet was good. Our kiddos got a pancake with eggs and sausage They shared it. There is no kids menu, but kiddos are simple for breakfast. My we also had the cornbeef hash. It's home made and was good. They give a lot of food. I didn't finish. They are super friendly and check in from time to time. Indo suggest to try to get there a little earlier as I bet it will get busy later in the morning. There is plenty of parking and the cost is a little bit better than other breakfast places.

    Another delicious breakfast meal at Fortis. Our cycling group overwhelmed the owners (10 cyclists) but they did an outstanding job taking care of us. We enjoyed the outside patio. The coffee and waters were continually flowing. A steady flow of amazing dishes. Everyone left full, satisfied and impressed with the gracious service. Well done Fortín

    Delicious breakfast in newer spot in town! Don't miss this gem! A lovely couple run this place and the menu has something for everybody; need to come back for lunch. We were seated promptly and ordered specials. I had the Corned Beef Omelet which was housemade corn beef, home fries and I subbed biscuit & gravy for toast! Hubby had the other special Country Style Breakfast which was two perfectly poached eggs on pork sausage and English muffins topped with delicious country gravy and served with home fries. Reasonably priced breakfast and lovely people - go check it out!!!

    Cute Mexican breakfast place. Food was delicious. Everything was flavored perfectly. Good service.

    Pastor benedict

    Excellent service, INCREDIBLE food, bright cozy ambience. I love this place! I ate the pastor benedict, and my son had the pancake and eggs and bacon. His came out in the shape of Mickey Mouse with a happy face. I ate every bite of mine, it was so delicious. I highly recommend this breakfast and lunch gem!

    Let's get this short stack going!

    Trusty Yelp told me to check this place out. Glad we did! Top notch service in the cutest little cafe. They don't have a designated kids menu but told us that they serve a pancake with choice of bacon or sausage and eggs. My grandchildren devoured it. They opted for bacon and over medium egg.

    I was with cousins and we had all stayed at the casino and they just wanted to eat there, rather than go elsewhere. My food looked pretty good, but not sure why I tried a dish with hollandaise sauce there. Though my cousins didn't seem thrilled with their choices either. One ordered a French Toast sandwich that came with eggs (he had fried) and bacon: the presentation was confusing as it was simply some French toast with eggs & bacon on the side. He checked with the waiter and he said, "yeah, you just put it together". There's a lot of great breakfast places not far from the casinos and especially if you're leaving right after breakfast, do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. Also coffee tasted like it was made the day before and been heating ever since. It was so bad though it did wake me up.

Our server checked on us the right amount and our food came out quickly. We ordered the Giant Hamburger and the BLT. The burger was thick, juicy, and piled high with classic toppings, messy in the best way and full of flavor. The BLT was generously stacked with crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, and tomato on toasted bread, simple and satisfying. The only downsides were the fries and my drink. The fries were overcooked, dry, and a bit too tough. I ordered a vodka soda, and it tasted more like soda with a splash of vodka. Overall, it was a good experience and we would return.

It was our 1st time eating there however it had been on our list for some time. We started with the PULL-APART GARLIC CHEESE BREAD which is Focaccia, mozzarella, marinara, parmesan, frico crust and also ordered the WOOD FIRED OCTOPUS with crispy gnocchi, tomatoes, red onion, basil, arugula and topped with a Calabrian chili aioli. Both were fantastic, seasoned nicely and cooked to a perfect temperature!! For our entree we hate the BEE STING pizza. Make with a 72 Hour Fermented Organic Dough topped with Salami, red onion, basil, serranos, mozzarella and honey. The crust was delicious, crunchy, thin and when combined with the sauce, seasoning and toppings, an excellent pizza. Additionally we ordered two of the in-house, housemaid pasta. The ARRABBIATA , a roasted red pepper campanelle, with Calabrese sausage, garlic, chilis, broccolini and topped with Parmesan, pecorino. The other pasta we tried was the BLACK SPAGHETTI, mixed with clams, scallops, shrimp, hot chopped peppers, white wine, butter and lemon. It was fantastic!! Cooked al dente and packed with flavor. Overall it was a very pleasant experience. The service was great, food was yummy and we definitely look forward to going back again soon!

The cauliflower was one of my favorites, roasted perfectly with great flavor, Fondue was creamy, hot and delicious, meatballs were super moist and bursting with flavor.

I enjoyed the bee sting pizza, hot and sweet, and I love the combination. When I go back it will definitely be pizza, salad and cauliflower. The sever was a sweet young man. He was attentive to our needs and patient with all our questions. The restaurant is a good size, the bar area was busy and filled with conversation and laughter, the booths looked cozy, we chose a table near windows for outside lighting. The outside tables looked great for getting some warmth and fresh air. Many options and different settings. Sorry, I forgot to take pics.

I absolutely loved the White Linen -- and that's saying a lot because I'm usually not much of a gin drinker. Tonight I also tried the Blueberry Lemon Drop. I tend to like more of a tart citrus flavor, so it wasn't exactly the tartness I expected at first; however, once I ate the blueberry garnish and took another sip, it completely changed the drink for me and tasted much better. I also tried two of their specials -- the Salmon with Alfredo sauce and the Tenderloin sliders. Again, Alfredo normally isn't my thing, but the Salmon was cooked beautifully and the sauce was very enjoyable, especially since they accommodated my request for a lighter amount. Since I couldn't decide between dishes, I ordered the tenderloin sliders to-go as well... and they were delicious too! Our server Miguel was new and did a really good job. You could tell he was just a little nervous, but he was attentive, kind, and handled himself well. Everyone starts somewhere, and I wanted him to know he's doing a great job and will only continue getting better with experience. Another solid visit overall. It was also nice seeing GM Drew working the restaurant floor as usual. You can absolutely see his management style reflected in the atmosphere and service -- the restaurant was busy, yet the team handled everything smoothly. And of course, Chef continues making consistently delicious meals. Definitely looking forward to coming back again soon!

The menu has a variety of dishes and it was really delicious and well-prepared. The bus-persons and food runners were great: friendly and attentive. Cons: the cashier, our waitress and the manager lack initiative. Our server disappeared at the end of the meal; meanwhile, we had a starring contest with the cashier who I guess couldn't leave her station to drop off the check or ring us up, so we had to walk-up to the hostess to ask for the check, to which we were directed to the manager who then dropped off a copy of the receipt after about 20 minutes but didn't bother ringing it up. Instead, she strolled out to the casino floor with another woman and had a long, languid conversation. After about an hour, we flagged her back down and told her we were ready to pay the bill, she then directed us to the bar where the cashier was. So in summary: food was good, some of the service was good but overall service could use some improvement.
