You get double eggs with every dish; a heaping helping of hash browns; big juicy pork sausages; Mushroom soup has lots of mushrooms; and they generally accommodate substitutions. Staff is superb. Attentive, friendly wait staff and discrete bussing of tables. We always tip well bc they deserve it! Service is fast and hot. The ambiance is clean and farm-like. A great way to start a day!

I was taken here for a birthday brunch, somehow I'd never heard of Waterleaf!…read more We've been back several times since, the food is always delicious and it's wonderful to be able to support such a wonderful program. The students we've interacted with on our visits always have been pleasant and helpful. The price is incredibly reasonable, and I feel like they could absolutely charge more than they do! The only downside, and it's a small one, is that I feel like some of the furnishings could be updated (new carpets, etc), as it feels a little dated. That said, it's a college restaurant, and it doesn't really make sense to update some of that stuff unless it's actually necessary.

He invited…read moreme to reach out to him and he didn't respond to my email, I asked him if he would say that to a customer's face? Now I understand why there was only 2 other tables occupied while I was there for lunch. His response on Google to my previous reviews: Response from the owner; We remember you well from the last time with the same supposed issue. Staff made a special effort to check in with you today more than once and you said nothing about any issue whatsoever. I don't know what your problem really is, but you're more than welcome to reach out to me. Lynn My email to him: My server made no attempt to check in with me after he brought my food and like I said in my review, I had to ask him for water. When I was done, the server that was taking care of the table behind me, stopped by to see if I needed anything and took the ketchup. My plate was already removed, and I was obviously done with my meal. I didn't see the point of telling your server about the soggy fries and the bologna that was undercooked. I make it a point to let restaurants shine or flop. If they don't shine, then I certainly am entitled to share my review. I don't like wasting food and rarely send things back. Google doesn't save the previous review but have attached the review that was updated today from Yelp. I find your response offensive. Would you tell a customer to their face "I don't know what your problem is " if they had a complaint? Now you've showed the world how you react to a customer that wasn't satisfied with their meal. A good server checks back shortly after serving a meal and certainly doesn't have to be asked to fill a water glass. My doctor visit today is in the same complex and you have assured me not to return.

Fun, unique, and tasty!…read more Plenty of DF & GF options here, and both traditional and inventive avocado options. I enjoyed the smoked salmon avocado toast- it was balanced, light but filling. My dining companions had burritos that got rave reviews. We also enjoyed the infused water- they had both fruit and lemon options! The service was extra friendly- we were proactively offered a to-go box and extra napkins. I loved the fun decor, including in the bathroom. There's plenty of seating. However, know that both the adjacent parking lot and garage may be full, and street parking can be hard to find when it's busy, so leave plenty of time.

I love how open the bar area is now as well. The staff is very welcoming as usual, and the food is fantastic. I especially enjoyed the Smokin' Jeff burger. The sweetness from the bourbon glaze and the goat cheese paired with the spiciness from the jalapeño gives so much layers of flavor. I 100% recommend if you are looking to have a burger or just enjoy food and vibes at a pub in the area.

You can request seating closer to the bar if you want to enjoy the music while dining. Otherwise, the window seats are nice if you're looking for something quieter, restaurant lighting is dim. They're also able to modify some dishes to be gluten free. The Poached Pear Salad was light and refreshing, GF if you omit the goat cheese "crouton." Though if you like goat cheese, it looked delectable, perfectly cooked. It's more like a small fried goat cheese patty (almost like a mozzarella stick). The risotto was well cooked, but nothing particularly memorable in terms of flavor or components (bacon, mushroom, pesto, parmesan butter). The cassoulet was bursting with flavor. They offer both a small and larger portion. The small is really just a few bites of duck, so if you're looking for something more filling, definitely go with the larger size, which feels closer to a standard entrée. You can omit the panko breadcrumbs to make it gluten free. The guava sorbet was a refreshing way to end the meal, served as a trio of scoops and a cookie (not GF). Portion sizes overall are just okay, as you're unlikely to have leftovers. Unless you order apps, an entrée, and dessert, you may not leave completely full. Drink-wise, they have cocktails, beers, one cider on tap (GF), and wine options. The Mint Julep (bourbon based) was strong, simple, and surprisingly tasty. Service was fine overall, though one gentleman stood out for being especially attentive and friendly (wish we caught his name). Pricing didn't quite match the quality, but would be open to return in future to try out other dishes.
