    The service was fast for a it being moderately busy. Everyone's food was tasty and up to par. It was nice to be able to enjoy your food and chat. A couple of friends had some mimosas and it had a good alcohol - juice ratio ( more of the alcohol, less of the juice). If I were in the area for the breakfast time, I'd go back.

    Firstly, the restaurant is cozy, welcoming and friendly. The staff is very polite and fast! I got the veggie skillet and it was AMAZING. I feel very happy about the dish I got. I need to make a very special announcement and say, from when we ordered to receiving the food, only took about 5 minutes !!! So not only was it very fast, the products themselves were amazing. Definitely coming back!

    Country Benedict

    We had a group of 6, and we were welcomed and seated right away. The restaurant was very clean, and had cute holiday decorations. Through out the dining experience I noticed that all of the workers help each other, so we never had empty plates cups sitting on the table, and they all helped with Togo packaging. I loved the service, that alone would keep me coming back. The monkey bread was very light and fluffy, and was a very large portion. I only wish there was more of the gooey filling. The country Benedict was delicious. The poached eggs were cooked just the way they should be, the gravy had a lot of flavor, and the sausage also had great flavor, I would have preferred the biscuit to be a little less baked. I requested the hash browns to be more crispy because that's the way I like them, but some brows just don't cook that way.

    2 of our 3 orders were messed up. My daughter has mild autism and she is an extremely picky eater. She asked for her pancakes with only chocolate chips and not white chocolate chips and the waitress acknowledged it but, of course they came with both and we had to send it back. I had the crepes with fresh blackberries but my order arrived without the berries. Instead of just getting a side bowl of them the waitress grabbed my plate and wanted to take the whole thing away. I grabbed it back and said just bring me the berries. She looked very confused. I never got offered a refill on my 1 cup of coffee. When we finally got the food right, I would say the food tasted fine but I think it was on the expensive side especially considering the service we got. I can get a less expensive breakfast with better service elsewhere.

    Mimosas
    Angie R.

    Been to the Bolingbrook and Downers Grove location and this one is similar to those. I used to love the restaurant that was here before. It was a Saturday morning and I wanted a boozy brunch. They offer mimosas so I decided to check this Plainfield location. We were seated immediately. We had enough time to look over the menu and our server came. She was very friendly and pleasant. I ordered a corn beef hash skillet with pancakes and my son had the meat lovers skillet. Both skillets were good but the strawberry mimosas were even better There is nothing special about this place but it's good for a breakfast. I'll be back for the mimosas.

    Food was great! Customer service was amazing. We don't eat bacon and they added bacon in our salad. But they took care of the situation! Cappuccino was amazing! We will be back. Truly impressed by the great customer and ambiance! Oh the avocado Ranch dressing was yummy!

    The food was delicious it arrived hot and fast . Our server was great and attentive. The tables are a little small and the chairs. I'd recommend this place breakfast even when crowded the wait is only about 10 minutes.

    I tried the season sweet potato fry skillet and it's amazing! We went back the next week to get it again. The biscuits with honey butter are great as well.

    A TALE OF TWO RESTAURANTS. A very weak fourth star…read more As you walk in the atmosphere is inviting. The dining room is spacious. Everything is in order and looks clean. I was sat immediately and my waitress took my order as soon as I was ready. Both the hostess and waitress were friendly and competent. Even the silverware was basically spotless. Unfortunately that's where the good news ends. I ordered the steak skillet with diced jalapeños. When it arrived it looked fine. The scrambled eggs were fluffy and inviting. When I took my first forkful it went downhill fast. The steak was cut into unappetizing kibble sized pieces. After eating a few bites I encountered my one and only sizeable piece of green pepper. Curious I took the eggs off the top of the rest of the skillet and then lost my appetite. Before me was a brown mess of ingredients. I order meals with a healthy amount of freshies in order to have something fresh and not too heavy, fatty or greasy. This was all of those. I finished the eggs and pushed brown pile away. SUCH A GOOD START! wasted by poor food. A note about the back of house management: there was a lot of standing around. The white guy with the white hair whom I took to be the owner had a look on his face like he just didn't wanna be there. Don't know if it's RBF but at least try to look like you are happy to see people. I'm just so disappointed. I'm not going to make a recommendation this time. They do some things so well and some so poorly. I don't think I could be fair.

Each and every location features plentiful parking, a social media worthy interior, comfortable elegant seating, and quality desserts that consistently delight everyone who has the opportunity to try them. On my visit here, I tried a different set of items from my Schaumburg visit to test the consistency of quality across different flavor profiles and dessert types, and it delivered perfectly. The mango gelato here is incredible -- with probably the strongest mango flavor I've ever had in a gelato. The Lotus was an elevated version of one of my favorite biscuits. The gelato is incredible, creamy and flavorful -- and something I'd happily serve with most any dessert. The waffle was flavorful as usual which paired perfectly with the chocolate mix. I also wanted to try My Passion to get a mix of different fruits -- as I was pleasantly surprised by how fresh the fruit was at the other location. This was equally as great, with fruit presented at the perfect ripeness. Extra kudos to the kiwi which wasn't sour at all, and in fact was one of the first items to be finished completely. The pineapple was also super juicy, sweet, and flavorful. I wish we'd gotten more eclairs, as the filling was super delicious. Maybe the weakest item in this dish was the brownie, which was only good -- while everything else we'd tried was great to amazing. Overall, worth a special trip for any dessert lover.

    Vegan options are super limited to 1 dish. Veggie skillet with basicly just oil and nothing else on…read moreit (no egg etc). Do I mind? No I have ate TONS of breakfast places and had only veggies heated up honestly. I can name 6 places in orland, Bolingbrook, Naperville, Joliet, romeoville, I can eat just "veggie skillet no egg, no cheese" and it taste just fine. Ordered it and after few bites did not taste fresh, in fact tasted dry? And frozen. I got almost sick IMMEDIATELY. Mind you I paid " like "$20+" for this. My stomach was so messed up, I wanted to Vomit. Also note my boyfriend ordered Cheesey Egg Omelette, and also refused to eat it after 4 bites. it's not just my meal. Maybe what we ordered was just not the freshest veggie, or egg, or cheese, or... ? I don't know what the heck happened but $47 down the drain. 3 bites each. We asked for a check and walked out. I hate to leave a bad review but atleast the $5 strawberry juice, which was you know... not really fresh or juice was just flavored water, no sugar, was decent. ALSO, my boyfriend did like the pancakes. So... just order the pancakes Service was alright. Ambiance was alright. Food, personally I wouldn't come back. Even if you paid me. My stomach hurt so bad.

We watched a waitress' at other tables take orders, bring food and visit tables to check with their patrons, however none for our table. After 8 minutes as I was getting up to head to the hostess - a table porter caught my eye as I got up he started heading toward the kitchen. I got to the hostess to inquire if there was even a person assigned to our table and as the hostess looked over my shoulder toward our table a waitress was standing there. This was someone we had not seen going to and from other patrons tables. Makes me wonder if anyone had even told her people were seated in her section. The waitress was personable, however she did make errors in our order; Or she didn't check the food before bringing it out. Because we were pressed for time needing to get to our next destination we just ate and did not have her make adjustments. The breakfast was good nothing extra or special just okay. I've had better at a restaurant down the road. When the restaurant is not as busy (yet) the space is airy and cool almost cold feels like a warehouse of sorts. Deco is minimal.
