    Half turkey club with house made chips - excellent!

    Food was amazing - the menu has a wide variety of options. Service was great, late lunch time was quiet and not crowded. Not pictured were the lobster bisque and Italian wedding soup which were home made and sooo delicious!!

    Waffles from the chicken and waffles

    Delanie's was sold and has been rebranded as West Ave Tavern. Much of the old menu has been kept and the décoré is the same. If you liked Delanie's you will like this place. Service is very good with a very friendly staff. It is a casual environment good for families or if you want to watch a game at the bar. I had the chicken and waffles - they were okay. More like chicken tenders and waffles. My wife had a wedge salad that was very good. I will go back

    $19 chicken and waffles. Funny thing, only one side burnt and they didn't even think to put that side down in the plate!

    I guess i have to begin at the beginning to let you grasp the true sadness of this visit. Party of three at about 7:10 on a Tuesday. We were sat immediately. We hadn't been there in a decade so it was essentially our "first" time. We had enough time before we were greeted to look at the entire menu, many times, decide on apps and even pick, and change our minds about entrees before we ever met our waitress. She asked our drinks and quickly turned and returned to kitchen before i could order the apps. Upon returning with the beverages, she again quickly turned away, i spoke up and asked if we could order our apps. After about twenty minutes i asked her as she was walking by if we could order our food. She commented how she was waiting until after she brought our apps. We ordered. Eventually apps came. There where more examples of the poor service (a host visited our table and saw that EVERYBODY had an empty glass and said and did nothing, then actually when the waitress dropped off the apps she again turned away quickly and i had to ask for refills. When they returned my beverage was now in my husbands cup and his in mine. Our cups were different colors, but enough is enough. Food was over sold on the menu and over priced. Burnt "house made" waffle (what waffle iron burns one side?) dry frozen chicken , with syrup that tasted like they just mixed it with cheap bourbon. I can put up with crap service and no refills and never coming to ask me if i need anything after deliver the meal, if the food is on point! Lobster bisque??? My bad for not asking if it was real lobster. $8 for a bowl that is really a cup, i mean it's actually a cup, and fake seafood. $19 for the chicken and waffles! Bad food, bad service. So sad.

    Don't bother with the steak and eggs at brunch. Unless you like not-steak flavored bubble gum.

Very good, maybe a tad dry. A good Aioli was needed. A couple of beers and that was that. Good service. I will return for a slower paced night out.

I've never been here before but I know it's a fairly popular place so I was quick to agree to the location. We originally sat at the bar but the stools were so incredibly uncomfortable, so we moved to a booth. While our server was nice, it did take her quite a while to come take our drink order. I got a "lavendar breeze" for my first drink and it was delicious. The menu is small, with the focus being on grilled cheese sandwiches. I'm not a huge grilled cheese lover, so I ordered a wedge salad (with house white French dressing) and the sauerkraut balls from the appetizer menu. The salad was on par with what you'd expect, the dressing was tasty. The sauerkraut balls, though, kind of threw me. First, it's a HUGE serving. There was around 30-40 sauerkraut balls in the basket; way more than I ever imagined would be in an order. I was expecting four or five golf ball sized balls. Maybe I've been spoiled by having some fantastic sauerkraut balls, but these were subpar, at best. They didn't have a lot of flavor and the cocktail sauce they served with them was an odd choice. While I still enjoyed time catching up with a friend and the drinks were well done, I doubt I'll come back for food. The menu just wasn't appealing to me and what I did have wasnt good enough to lure me back anytime soon.

    This place was recommended to me by the Yelp! Community as one of the "Top 100 Breakfast Places" in…read morethe whole U.S.! I was NOT disappointed... the food was delicious, and unique. We sat at the bar counter and the service was fast, friendly, and welcoming. We went on a Monday morning, and the place was pretty busy - we didn't have to wait for a table or anything, but 85% of the tables were definitely taken. You can see the kitchen from the bar, and there is a small "take out" window where they run a Drive-Tru from. Such a great idea, and it seemed like a very smooth operation! As you enter the Blue Door Cafe, immediately to your left is a small Bakery Service counter, with a beautiful display case. It smells so good in there! The menu was very unique, but packed with lots of delicious options, and we were told that the menu changes frequently, based on seasonal availability of locally sourced ingredients. I'm not so good with words, but let me say this: Everything was incredible! Fresh, made-to-order, and delicious! I will let the pictures do the talking

    This was our first time visiting this restaurant while traveling from out of state, and we were…read moreexcited to try it. There are a few things to know before you go. Parking is very crowded, but you can usually park at nearby businesses. When we arrived, we were greeted warmly and given the option of waiting about 20 minutes for indoor seating or sitting outside with heaters. We chose outside. Even though it was raining, the heaters kept it comfortable and it was still a nice experience. The biggest issue was the wait for the food. It took about an hour for our meals to arrive. The staff was very apologetic and explained they were having issues, which we appreciated, but an hour is still a long wait. This was especially noticeable because the restaurant's website mentions that, due to limited space, guests are asked to limit their stay to about 75 minutes. The inside of the restaurant also felt very congested because of the front entrance layout and the constant flow of people coming in. One suggestion would be to add the bakery items directly to the menu so guests can easily order them with their meals instead of having to ask separately. Our server was very nice, and the food itself was good. I ordered the hash with scrambled eggs and a coffee, while my wife had a pot of tea and the Croque Madame. They also had specials available, but we decided to keep it simple. Sorry, no pictures -- we forgot to take them. Overall, the prices were slightly higher than normal for similar places we've visited.
