If you're looking for something that isn't the typical chain, this will be your place . I visited twice this month for breakfast and one time for brunch. Both were great. The Breakfast Bowl is one of my favorites with whipped eggs that are fluffy and moist served with sliced peppers and onions and sausage all over the top with cheddar cheese on cubed potatoes. The scrambled Eggs are so tasty. I just loved em, the waitress said that the eggs are whipped which makes them extra fluffy and creamy. A Fresh Quiche special is made daily & served with a bowl of fresh fruit. The three meat quiche was delicious, super moist and full of meat. I tried the Reuben sandwich. It is out of this world, with onion rings that I couldn't stop eating! Crispy delicately made and tasty as could be! And don't forget to go over to the bakery counter, each time we picked up snacks for later, the brownie was excellent, as was a coconut pecan everything bar just great. And if you like a good cup of coffee, theirs is roasted locally, robust great flavor, best cups I've have had in Florida! Thanks Zoe's

The food was so good it almost made up for the wait. *Almost.* 38 minutes, people. I love this place, but my stomach filed a formal complaint around minute 25. The ambiance is outstanding -- a little loud, but that's what happens when the place is packed with people who all had the same good idea we did. Service was very good and very attentive; our server checked on us so often I started to wonder if *we* were the entertainment. Bottom line: it was worth the wait, and we will definitely be back. Maybe at an earlier time next Sunday -- if we can actually wake up earlier on our day off. That's a big "if."

I had coffee and water and ordered a skillet of corned beef hash with house, potatoes and a biscuit, two eggs over-easy. The biscuit was really a star, tasty, crispy edges, nice and homemade. And I recommend the side gravy ($1.95) good with little bits of sausage and a lot of pepper. The corn beef was really fatty so I wish they trimmed it a little better cooked it rendered farther down. The so-called fancy house potatoes were just hashbrowns with some white sauce in the middle if seemed. I questioned whether they were the house potatoes... hard to distinguish between a hash brown. All in all it was tasty and plentiful, and I enjoyed the leftovers that I took home and cooked fresh eggs with the next day.

I am updating my previous review, and unfortunately, this visit warrants a 2-star rating…read more This has always been our go-to spot for breakfast, but over the past few months--and especially now--things have clearly changed, and not for the better. We're now at the point where we're questioning whether we will return. Since the head chef is no longer there, it's very noticeable that the kitchen has been impacted. The quality, taste, and speed of the food have all declined. Even more concerning is the lack of professionalism you can now see coming out of the kitchen--it's disappointing. What made this visit even more surprising is that this was during a special holiday, and the restaurant was not busy. Given that, there is no reason service and food should have taken as long as it did, or come out with such poor quality and lack of execution. The General Manager needs to take stronger control--not just of the kitchen, but also of the service team's attitude and overall execution. There are a couple of servers who consistently do an excellent job--Franklin being one of them. He gets it right every single time, even with special requests, and truly stands out. Unfortunately, that was not our experience today. Our server, Sheyly, took our order and we made a simple request to have our French toast held until after our main dishes. Her response of "I'll try" was not reassuring, and she walked away without confirming anything. We then waited over 30 minutes for our food, only to hear our server yell to the kitchen to "hold the French toast"--which clearly came too late. The French toast was brought out before our main dishes, with no acknowledgment or concern for the mistake. When our main dishes finally arrived, the presentation was poor and the portions were noticeably smaller than what we've experienced before. While there may have been issues with the previous head chef, one thing that was always consistent was the quality and execution coming out of the kitchen--and that consistency is now gone. We truly hope that the GM or someone within the organization takes the time to read this and make the necessary changes, because this place used to be something special. Prev Review ; Nice place for breakfast but some of the waitress need some training. The chef and team are always on point.
