We had also seen photos online showing mimosas being served, but were disappointed to learn they were not available. The space itself is quite small, which may contribute to the wait times.

Our first visit was disappointing. The mussels were delicious as well as the calamari. However,…read morethey served me three large filet "medallions" each one cooked differently: medium rare, medium, and well done. Most of it was stringy, they offered only potatoes as a side, and "whatever the chef decides on a particular day." My husband's filet mignon was overcooked and dry, his potatoes lukewarm, and scallops overcooked. He told the waitress who offered to take the scallops - not the entire plate. The manager came over to apologize and asked my husband if he'd like to try anything else but he was too disappointed and lost his appetite. He explained that we were celebrating our anniversary but the woman didn't care to acknowledge it. After all that, the waitress returned and asked if we wanted to see the dessert menu without apologizing about our meal. Very unprofessional. We declined, paid the check, and left the bare minimum tip, which we never do. We don't blame the waitress for the food, but for her service technique and disinterest in her patrons' needs. Oh, they didn't charge us for my husband's meal but lacked the courtesy to tell us in person. Needless to say, despite the charming atmosphere, excellent salad bar, and incredible appetizers, we will not return. Maybe the chef had an off night, but what excuse did the staff have?

And lucky to have mimosas! Now, the one item that I would like to see improve, staffing. Location was maybe 1/2 full. 4-5 young ladies walking around. Took 20 minutes to come over to take our drink order. Drinks came quick. Then another 10-15 minutes to take our food order. The food came out pretty quick. However, we didn't have silverware. Had to ask. Then we never were asked about additional drinks. One more small item, air conditioning was set for a high temperature. It was hot in there. Enough to leave sweat on the seats. Food was very good. Would we come back? I think the staffing left enough of a bad "taste" that we may be back.

The California Benedict was an excellent. The waitress asked me to check my eggs and ended up having them redone. The home fries were beautifully seasoned.

I loved all these answers! The back room is where the dining room is has a fireplace and is super rustic haven. Just an amazing impromptu lunch experience! My only complaint was the Thai chicken soup, yuck lol. It was really just warm mush. But other than that I am marking this place on my map of favorite places ever!

Just a little diner, not much to see from the outside, but inside it is unique with the only seating at a large circular counter with the open kitchen on the side. The menu is pretty much what you expect with mostly breakfast items and sandwiches; this is supplemented by a couple of different special boards and signs. Service was attentive and friendly. My friend ordered the biscuits and gravy with a side of eggs, I got a spinach, tomato and cheese omelet that came with hash browns and cinnamon raisin toast. The food came out promptly, with generous portions of nicely prepared food. My omelet was good with the fresh spinach and tomatoes adding some nice contrast to the eggs. the potatoes were good and the raisin toast was excellent. Cup N Saucer is well worth a visit just to experience the old school feel with solid food. The service was good and the server seemed to know all of the other customers as friends and regulars.
