I appreciated the chill and friendly attitude of the person up front as the various parties were sorted out and seated. Table service was similarly nice, with seating, ordering, delivery, and payment all taken in efficient stride. As a creature of habit, I ordered the "delicious as usual" breakfast sandwich again, with a note to self to try something new next year. Gayle ordered an omelet which was way too much food for her, and with a note that maybe we could share that the next time. We also enjoyed the kitchy at home atmosphere and the happy energy throughout. Morning Glory is about a mile's walk from the Ashland Springs Hotel, and a longer way back as we toured the SOU campus and surrounding hills. This huge breakfast needs to be worked off afterall.

The Turkish eggs were the perfect savory complement to the French toast, and even the side salad with its incredible yogurt sauce was memorable. The chai was equally outstanding, and you can tell every ingredient is chosen with care. As parents of a wonderfully wild toddler, we especially appreciated how welcoming the staff was. The patio gave her room to explore, they happily served simple sides for her, and she absolutely loved the sourdough toast. Meeting the owner, Razia, made the experience even more special. She was so warm and welcoming, and we had a wonderful conversation that made us feel right at home.

The coffee and matcha drinks on the other hand were -and I hate to use this word but- mid. I got the komquat coffee and the saffron cardamom matcha (I wanna say empire matcha). I preferred the matcha but felt like the flavor was a bit bland? I also think of foam as foam not a cream floater which it felt more like. It just tasted a bit bland. But I definitely recommend checking this place out for yourself! I know I will when I'm back in town! They had so many options that were hard to choose from!

When going to a highly rated restaurant that specializes in a specific region's cuisine, a safe bet…read moreis to order the region's most iconic dish. Right? Not in this case. Choucroute is that iconic dish, for Alsace, France, and Nous specializes in that region. And having the dish for my last day in Alsace created a treasured memory. The name of the dish is French for sauerkraut. The dish is a sour cabbage braise. Besides lots of that, the dish usually is a mixture of meats and a variety of possible vegetables. A higher-end restaurant is likely to get creative, of course, but there are limits. For example, there should be some sauerkraut. There was almost none. Or it had melted so far it was indistinguishable. There were lots of carrots and green beans. Steamed and obviously not part of the braise. And some potato. Meat is optional, with individual portions that can be added. Each portion is a full protein, such as an entire duck leg and thigh. I wanted a mixture, as is usual for the dish, but that would have required ordering far more meat than I could consume. So I settle on the duck. What came was vastly overcooked and astonishingly over-salted leg that had almost certainly been deep-fried. And maybe more than once. On an average night, I'd have sent it back, but this was my last night in town and I was headed to see the last performance and I didn't want to engage in the hassle that returning the dish would have involved. My best guess is that the dish was left-over and reconstituted. Maybe more than once. I save one star for the times I can't finish the food, or there are other actual traumas. On an average night, that's what I would have left, because that's just how bad the dish was. But since I did finish the meal...

It was worth the wait as my breakfast sandwich was outstanding, while Gayle appreciated both the size and the taste of her 2 egg omelet.

In April 2017, we relished Greenleaf Restaurant on both of the two days we were in Ashland. For dinner, our first night in town, I had the cod entree with asparagus and rice. Husband had a salmon burger. Then, because our hotel's breakfast offered no DF or GF options, we return the next morning for breakfast, where I had the Full-House with an extra egg (and GF toast), while hubby had a sausage scramble. We were very pleased with the menu variety for both meals and highly recommend this restaurant. The weather was warm enough to enjoy patio seating, next to Ashland Creek's rushing water. Very lovely setting and the wait staff was great too! Thanks Greenleaf - we will see you on our next trip to beautiful Ashland! read more

The pandemic really did a number on one of our favorite Ashland restaurants, Greenleaf. We chose to sit on the patio and quickly became the forgotten customers. Waited an undue amount of time to receive our appetizer. They ran out of sorba noodles (this was on a Wednesday) for the Sorba Bowl. So they used undercooked fettuccine noodles. Our son's portion for noodles was minuscule. See the photo below for the inedible tofu wrap. Join us in mourning the passing of a once a great restaurant, Greenleaf. We won't be back! read more

This is one of my favorite places to eat in town. I enjoy the food. At breakfast it is always the tofu scramble, and I'm not a vegetarian. The prices are reasonable and the food seems very fresh.

That being said, I feel it is important to note some things that hopefully they can improve upon, and customers can set their expectations appropriately. I don't know how long they have been serving dinner. It seems the reviews of the place as a cafe and bakery are strong, but dinner is where they fall short. First off, the menu is very plain and doesn't describe the dishes. As an example...Have you had a Caprese cake before? I have never heard of it, but turns out it is chocolate and coconut and delicious. We ordered the grilled asparagus. It came glazed with balsamic vinegar, which we liked, but not all people would. I think they'd do well to better describe their offerings. The way dinner service works (at least outside) is you place your order at the cocktail stand. We ordered everything all at once, since we didn't want to have walk to the cocktail stand for each course. They informed us they were out of the Grandma's chicken we wanted (mind you this was at 6 pm, so we figure it must be super popular). Then when I said I would have the meatballs instead, they had to go and check and make sure they still had meatballs! We were in luck, or so I thought. They don't have the typical soda products, so I ordered their organic cola. You also have to pay when you order, as well as tip. I don't care to tip before i receive the service, but I went ahead and assumed the best and tipped 20%. As other reviews have noted, nobody brings you water. We had to go back to the stand to ask for it after we realized nobody was going to service our table. First comes my husband's drink, and the server who brought it out asked me if I had been informed of the cola situation. I said no, and found out they didn't have the cola syrup, so I opted for a raspberry soda, which was good, but not really what. I wanted to drink with pasta. Oh well. Things happen. Our appetizers came out next, via a different server, and then about 5 mins later, our entrees AND desserts were brought to the table by a different server. So there we were at this small outside table, with 7 plates on our table. I kid you not. Okay, we will go with it. The bruschetta bread was burnt. The meatballs were flavorless. The grilled asparagus and salad with lemon vinaigrette were good. The highlight for me was the mushroom pasta , and my husband enjoyed the pasta that had chili in it. We also enjoyed the olive oil cake and the caprese cake. Nobody came to check on us over the course of our entire dinner. I really came to regret that 20% tip I had paid in advance. Total with tip came to $140.70. The next night we went over to Cocorico, and for $8 more, had an amazing 4 course dinner, with top-notch service. Do yourself a favor and skip Cafe Lumina for dinner until they get their act together. I really hope they can improve, they have potential!
