Mary is incredibly friendly, attentive, and makes you feel genuinely welcome from the moment you sit down. She's also very knowledgeable about the menu, gave great recommendations, and made ordering easy. She checks in at all the right times without being overbearing, keeps everything running smoothly, and brings such a positive energy to the whole experience. It's rare to find service this consistently great, but Mary truly stands out. If you're dining here, I highly recommend asking for her--you won't be disappointed!

It was warm, delicious, very tasty , a bit spicy and served on a really good soft bun with crispy edges. Perfectly cooked the sandwiches are served with orange slices , which is a nice break from chips or fries ! They have numerous coffe and matcha drinks hotv& cold. I tried the cold match blackberry lemonade and it was good and my hubby had the matcha raspberry latte and he really liked his. You know it's a great place when you unexpectedly run into the bride eating there the morning after her wedding!!! The only thing keeping me from giving this restaurant 5 stars ( because the food quality IS there !) is the bathroom situation. There's a very tiny sing men's and women's with a sink to wash hands inbetween. I didn't mind the " closet bathroom stall - I minded the dirty floor and the fact that when I went to wash my hands in the shared sink outside the stall in between the bathrooms , barely any soap dispenses! I went under 4 x just to get enough soap to get the buffalo sauce off of my hands. This is concerning because it makes you wonder if the cooks are bothering to try to get any soap on their hands ?! . Roast and Toast : *Clean the bathroom floors and get a new soap dispenser and I bet you'll get the stars and reviews your food deserves !

I hate to give a bad review but I also hate the idea of NOT giving one at all because the service…read morewasn't up to par and I don't wanna complain. However... Because the place was populated (but not crowded) and my order was simple (a matcha and cranberry chicken salad) Filling my order was a lay-up. The drink came in a timely fashion but my sandwich was nowhere to be found. Add to that I was sitting in the very visible window seat, by myself...a fact made more obvious by the fact that no one was near me and I'm a black dude in a very white restaurant (basically making me even more obvious). Now to be clear: I DO NOT think this was racially motivated, I DO think , however, it was due to inattentive staff. Personally I'm also not a fan of having to go get my food when they call my name, ESPECIALLY if the drink and the food come out at different times. Too much up and down for me. Cute place but I was disappointed...which bums me out because I really WANTED to like this place. This will probably be my only time here (as I am just passing through) and, sadly, this was the impression I was left with.

We were on vacation and were so delighted to find this wonderful one of a kind, sandwich shop, with outstanding baked goods. We ordered the Howard Street Grill sandwich, which was white cheddar cheese, with amazing bacon on grilled cherry pecan bread. It was delectable!! We also ordered the California turkey club, I loved the added avocado and sun-dried tomato, which made it a little bit different than a "normal" club, it was also outstanding!! The "You Asked for It" was a chicken salad, with cranberry sauce on an amazing bread. We also got the Greek salad which was the best Greek salad I've ever had...I loved it!! Thank you for doing you!!! I'd love to come back just to eat there again!! Each sandwich came with the yummy dill pickle spear and a bag of chips. We enjoyed it in the park overlooking the water. Keep up the great job!!! Much success always!!

What truly sets this restaurant apart, however, is the incredible level of customer service they provided after our visit. While leaving to head to the park with our younger children, I accidentally left behind my favorite pair of sunglasses--brand new and purchased just a week before our trip. When I called the restaurant, they had thankfully found them. Not only did they hold onto them for me, but they went completely above and beyond by carefully packaging and mailing them back to me. They even made sure they were protected so they wouldn't break during shipping. I was so relieved and incredibly grateful for the kindness and effort their team showed. It's rare to find a business that cares this much about its customers long after they've left the restaurant. Thank you for turning what could have been a disappointing situation into such a positive experience. We will definitely be back on our next trip up north. Cheers!

Had to wait about 10 minutes for a table. Got seated and waited on pretty quickly. My feeling is if the coffee is good that means someone at the place cares, a good sign. And it was good! I got buttermilk pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage links and hash browns. Loved the sausage (from Plath meats) and eggs were definitely cooked with butter. Yummy! My standard for great pancakes are Cracker Barrel and these were just as good. Only slightly disappointed with hash browns as they seemed from a bag but they were cooked well. My wife had the vegetable skillet which was a layer of hash browns with tomato, green pepper, spinach, onions and then eggs over that which was covered with sausage gravy. All very good. Even the English muffin she got seemed fresh made! Good service and fair prices too. Only knock I could give was food took a bit to come out but I blame that on the holiday weekend crowd.
