    Large restaurant with plenty of seating. Server was very sweet and attentive. Food tasted great and portions were good. Parking is available in the garage, restaurant does not validate. Only negative is that they don't have milk alternatives for the coffee.

    Big pancake
    Yamila D.

    The location is really nice. I think it's downtown Tallahassee by the capital. The parking garage is on the ground floor and then you take the elevator up. The surrounding is just beautiful. We went on a Saturday at around 11am and the wait time wasn't so bad. I think we waited like 10 minutes. The service was good and the food wasn't bad. Expect for the fact that the cream cheese on my bagel was hot and like melted because it was added on when the bagel was still piping hot, but I should of asked for it on the side and I would of done it. I am hoping to be back when I go back to Tallahassee in October and try other menu options.

    pancakes, eggs, bacon
    Maia T.

    Our waiter was super attentive and fast! I don't recommend ordering the pancakes as they were not fluffy (dry). The muffins are a better choice. Everything else was delicious! Expect a wait time of at least 30-45mins during brunch hours, the building is small.

    Beignets (mixed, powered sugar & cinnamon sugar)
    Dominique M.

    There are some very interesting items on the menu lol. My friend and I shared the mixed beignets as an appetizer (powered sugar & cinnamon sugar). I chose the breakfast burrito (no onions) and my friend ordered a bacon avocado omelet. Service was ok. Wait time was as almost 40 minutes. We tried a "poinsettia mimosa" and it was ok. Tasted like champagne and Grenadian. The beignets were super tiny and a bit hard. Would not recommend. My breakfast burrito was super flavorful. From the chorizo to the eggs, beans and cheese. EVERYTHING was flavorful. The breakfast potatoes were seasoned well and cooked nicely to have a good crunch while remaining soft on the inside. I also thought portion size was very appropriate. Not too many other menu items caught my eye but if I were craving a breakfast burrito I would certainly recommend this place.

    Espresso con panna
    Kyle H.

    Found this breakfast place on Google maps. Solid choice. Espresso was delicious and the omelette was soo good. The cream cheese added extra cheesiness that i might add to my omelets at home. 10/10 would eat again!

    Cappuccino.

    Two stars for the service and I think that's being kind, considering that the service was great and the food left plenty to be desired. Bluntly speaking, it's been a long time since I've eaten at a restaurant and genuinely wished I hadn't. Bland doesn't begin to cover how terrible the food was. It's as if things were set to cook and they forgot the concept of seasoning. Prime example of this is my custom omelette. It had broccoli, green peppers, onions, and peppers. It was accompanied by cheese. All I could taste was the cheese and that's if I grabbed a piece with cheese. Where was the salt? The pepper? The flavor? This was on the same plate as an English muffin and some potatoes. The muffin was toasted and I left it alone mainly because everything else was so much food. That and I went to town on the potatoes as they seemed to be the only seasoned thing. Well, until I just couldn't eat potatoes anymore. I drank coffee with this and it was acceptable. Still, what a disillusion with those eggs. I was majorly disappointed. The dish itself was huge, so I expected so much tastiness and instead it just was a huge pile of boring for my stomach. He, on the other hand, had waffles and they looked fine. They were nothing out of the ordinary. He did complain about the butter, but this is typical from him as he's generally picky. Meh, I just don't understand how a breakfast chain has such blasé dishes. I expected something more lively. Oh well. At least the ambiance was cozy and the waiter was nice. This is probably one that I'd need some convincing to try again.

    Scramble w bacon and grits
    Michelle G.

    Nestled near the Capital, this brunchy restaurant has nice outside seating, weather permitting. The grits were very creamy and their potatoes as well.

    Love this place. I've been there a few times and the food is consistently good. Great mimosas and bloody Marie's. Staff is friendly.

    Asian salad
    Kara P.

    Came here right before closing and wasn't disappointed. George was a great server, personable and attentive and knowledgeable about the menu when I was torn between a few items. Everyone was very satisfied with their meals. I'm pretty sure every plate was empty. I had the Asian chicken salad and reallly enjoyed it. The Asian sesame dressing was sweet, tangy and delicious. The chicken was grilled to perfection. The greenery to meat ratio was spot on. There was actually just enough chicken for me to cut up and enjoy some in mostly each bite. The crab cakes egg Benedict also looked super yummy. I am definitely trying that next time because my friend was not sharing. Lol! As I did in a previous review, I'm taking off a star for servers who aren't masked and gloved. I'm just still not comfortable with the idea of it all and not knowing whether folks are vaccinated, etc. it's somewhat unfair because pre-covid that wasn't a thing at all, but alas times have changed.

    Omelette
    Anna M.

    Located in a cute spot in Tallahassee. I wasn't a fan of the American coffee but that's just because it's not my cup of tea. I didn't realize they had cappuccinos until after I ordered ( my mistake). We ordered the grilled muffins and they were delicious. I recommend the blueberry because the chocolate chip was too much chocolate for me for breakfast. I built my own omelette and it was yummy. Everyone was also very nice! The only area where they could use improvement is their service, they're a little slow but overall I had a good experience

    This appetizer came out the same time as the meal the 3 stars is for the marmalade ONLY.
    Tere F.

    Underwhelming is my input I really do not give atrocious reviews this was not a good experience at all second restaurant in the same area that has been not good at all. Food was no seasoned bland at best. The service was not good at all one server with too many tables. I do not have the wherewithal to list all the negatives there were many! 20 minutes for a straw is one of many! We will not go back again felt like it was an absolute waste of our hard earned dollar the kitchen quality control is not good at all the sat as is evident from the pictures no cream cheese as it was absorbed as it sat potatoes like rubber as they sat and no seasoning at all! Awful experience could have spent $60 elsewhere and had a lovely brunch....you live and learn!

    Banana French toast

    Had such a great time at Wayward House! We started with a Passion Fruit Mojito, Spicy Hugo Spritz,…read moreand Dirty Martini--all delicious and the perfect way to start the night! For food, we had the Duck Fat Potatoes, which were crispy, rich, and so flavorful, the Branzino was tender and beautifully cooked, and the Hanger Steak Frites was juicy, savory, and definitely hit the spot. Everything was delicious! Franco was our server and took great care of us throughout the night. Great food, drinks, atmosphere, and service--we would definitely return!

    We chose Hayward House to celebrate our son's graduation from Florida State University and made a…read more2:15 pm lunch reservation for 6 people because the ceremony was at 7 pm. We drove to Tallahassee that day, but unfortunately got caught in heavy traffic due to President Trump speaking in Sumter County near The Villages. As Soon as we realized we would not make our reservation, we called the restaurant to explain the unavoidable circumstances and asked if there was any way to move our reservation to another time that day. Initially, we were told no, so we canceled the reservation. Shortly afterwards, the restaurant called back and informed us we would be charged a cancellation fee of $ 150 - $ 25.00 per person. I completely understand having a cancellation policy, however, charging $ 25 per person for a lunch reservation during unavoidable traffic circumstances felt excessive and unreasonable, especially after we proactively called ahead. What was even more disappointing was the complete lack of flexibility or compassion during an important family milestone. I explained repeatedly that we were desperately trying not to miss our son's graduation celebration and were even worried about missing the ceremony itself because we were stuck in traffic. I asked about every possible alternative- a later dinner reservation, appetizers only, or even moving reservation to another day. Ever request was denied except for a 4 pm slot, which still was not realistic given the traffic situation. What upset me the most was not just the fee itself, but the unwillingness to work with us. A more customer focused approach could have been allowing the $ 150 to be applied toward a future visit. Because of this experience, my family will NEVER dine at Hayward House, and I would NOT recommend it to other FSU families celebrating special occasions.
