First time here. Came with a friend for breakfast…read more
Food:
The menu features many of the breakfast favorites you find at today's modern breakfast cafés, along with a few signature items that make this place unique.
Since it was my friend's birthday, they surprised us with a large plate of freshly made beignets, served piping hot right out of the fryer. They were drizzled with both white and dark chocolate sauce and served with a side of whipped cream. Delicious!
For our meals, we both ordered the Avocado Toast. He got the standard version, which comes with two eggs. I chose the same dish with smoked salmon added.
The food arrived quickly. Both dishes were very good, but with a few small tweaks, they could have been outstanding. We ordered our eggs over easy, but they were cooked a little longer than that, so there wasn't much runny yolk. The avocado was nicely mashed while still retaining some chunks, which I really enjoyed. The smoked salmon was fresh and generously portioned.
The toast was also topped with diced onions and tomatoes. There were quite a few onions, more than I would have preferred. I removed a good portion of them, and there were still plenty left.
Service:
We received excellent service throughout our visit. We were greeted warmly when we arrived and given a choice between a table and a booth. We chose a comfortable booth, and our server, Shawna, did a wonderful job getting us settled in with water and drinks. She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel well taken care of.
Thanks, Shawna!
Atmosphere:
The restaurant has a fresh, modern look. It's spacious and thoughtfully designed. Even though there were plenty of other diners, it never felt crowded, and the noise level made conversation easy. Large windows let in lots of natural light, making the space bright and inviting.
A very good breakfast, and with just a few small tweaks, it could easily have been an excellent one.
