I'm really disappointed by our Mother's Day experience at Loam--especially because we've had great…read morevisits here before. We had a 10:45 reservation but ended up waiting outside on the sidewalk for over 40 minutes. We got a couple of "it'll be soon" updates and one offer to sit at a picnic table on the sidewalk. That wasn't an option for my husband's back. And, by that point, it felt like we'd already had the full sidewalk experience! To add to the frustration, we watched a table that would have fit our party turn over and be given to a group that had arrived well after us. Once seated, things didn't improve much. Our daughter has celiac disease, and after talking through options with our server, she ordered a modified breakfast plate. When it arrived, it had two slices of (gluten-full) toast placed right in the middle. We asked for a remake. While we were waiting someone came over to tell us (firmly) that the kitchen isn't dedicated gluten-free. We fully get that, but that's different from putting bread on top of everything on the plate, especially after we'd already discussed the restriction. As I was saying that, the staff member walked away. The interaction felt more like a lecture than the apology that would've been appropriate. The food overall was okay, but not memorable. My husband said the "special" Bloody Mary was the worst he's ever had--memorable, just not in a good way. On the positive side, the gluten-free coffee cake was excellent, and thankfully the company made the day worthwhile. My guess is there may have been an issue with our reservation. We made it in person previously and it was written in a notebook. When we called to confirm the day before, they initially couldn't find it. It felt like it might not have made it into the system, and they were trying to accommodate on the fly once they realized it. If that's the case, a little transparency upfront would have gone a long way--we would have appreciated the option to adjust our plans rather than end up waiting outside for so long. Overall, this felt like a series of misses and mishandled opportunities to improve the experience. It's also an excellent reminder of why I normally steer clear of dining out on holidays.

Holy moly. The charms of a country cafe combined with the most warm and welcoming (correction:…read morenicest of all time) staff. They were flush with customers even on a Monday, but with some patience you will be seated and served with the most delicious food. You won't even mind the calories (or at least I didn't), especially after you wash it down with some fresh squeezed juice. Must gets: -Caramelized banana pancake (half portion = 1 huge pancake) -They also really know how to do a darn good hashbrown. -And for bread? That cornmeal molasses toast was completely unreal

The table next to us also had spilled creamer. The complaint that has nothing to do with the business: Why do people bring their families out to eat in a tiny place when you have an active cough, and your child has a consistent barking cough that they won't cover.

This place probably gets quite busy on the weekends and to maximize spacing, table seating is packed tightly, so if you don't like to snuggle up to a total stranger, than this place might not be for you. The service by our server, Micah, was friendly and efficient. The overall make-up of patrons on this Monday morning, was a good mix of regulars, that the servers knew by name, visitors from nearby hotels and everyday folks with business to do in Downtown. My wife ordered the French Toast sandwich which definitely pass the eye test. I ordered the House made Corned Beef Hash. Both dishes hit the spot for tastiness and overall breakfast satisfaction. If available street parking is available and the wait is less than 15 minutes, than I would recommend this place for you.

One meal was enough to feed me all day, and the Spanish coffee I got was mixed perfectly.

Other reviews mention rude service staff, but my experience was the total opposite. I wish I could've gotten her name to give her a shout-out. :) I do have to mention the lack of parking. There were still empty tables when the parking lot was already completely full. There were maybe eight parking spots altogether, but that would be my only complaint.

The restaurant has a cozy, homey feel, and the staff took the experience to another level. When we sat down, they asked if we wanted to look at the menu or simply leave it up to the chef and go with the "Francisco Special." Without even glancing at the menu, we decided to trust them... and we were so glad we did. It ended up being one of our favorite dining experiences. Every one of the five courses was spectacular. They also asked about any dietary restrictions before the meal began. We didn't have any, but after chatting with the chef, we learned that he has spent time eating plant-based and experimenting extensively with plant-based alternatives. Based on that conversation, I imagine they would be more than capable of accommodating dietary restrictions. One of my favorite parts of the evening was that each dish came with a brief explanation, either the story behind the dish or details about the ingredients and preparation. It made the meal feel thoughtful, personal, and memorable from start to finish. I wish I got more/better pictures of the food but our phones didn't eat first this time... P.S. Their chocolate tamale is to die for

First the business is located in a building with multiple businesses. I walked in the front door and walked through the entire place before I came to a small counter at the back. Apparently there is a door on the side that would have been more direct. The team of people were busy so it took a second for them to see me. But they were very nice and helpful. I was seated right away. The interior is large with a lot of tables and there are tables outside. I just wanted a quick bite so I ordered the tomato toast and a glass of lemonade. They also offered water but I didn't want any. The tomato toast didn't take too long to come out. It was quit the masterpiece with a lot of components and pretty swirls of sauce. The toast was pretty yummy and I ate the entire thing. The lemonade was the only thing that wasn't good. There are a lot of places to get breakfast in the area.

Hanging from the ceiling are roughly a dozen colorful umbrellas. There is no shortage of visuals in this restaurant. The food: Beignets - we tried the classic and the Berry White. Both were great, but I'd give a slight nod to the original. The one buried in powdered sugar helps keep the texture of the Beignet. The Pickle Gambit - super thinly lengthwise sliced pickles in a light batter. Comes with chipotle aioli and ranch. Good portion size. One of the best fried pickles I've ever had. Ned's 5-Alarm Chicken - really good crust and very flavorful. One regret is we didn't go waffles with this. Lemon Poppyseed Slaw - tastes like a classic slaw. A little sweet and creamy. Goes really well with the heavier dishes that we got. The Shrimp Incident - small shrimp and sliced sausage with a Cajun cream sauce and crostini. We thought this was ok Country Mac - my favorite part was the fried chicken as it was very tender and flavorful. The shell shaped pasta was cooked al dente - it was firmer than I would like partly due to the pasta being on the thick side. The Mac is Cajun forward and not very cheesy. Staff was very friendly. We enjoyed our meal, but it was definitely on the heavier side and could have used something to balance it out.
