I’m hooked on the Peach Basil Ice Tea. Very refreshing with the perfect amount of sweetness. Our waiter, Arnold (I think that’s his name), was awesome! Very knowledgeable of the menu! And the fact that he’s a foodie made it even better because he described the taste and experience of each item to a tee.”

We went on a Saturday around 11:30 am and were told it would be a 45 minute to an hour wait. Our table was ready in about 30 minutes.

The food came out pretty fast and was very very good. We all enjoyed our means and drinks. I had a boozy blue drink and it tasted amazing. And I also had the hash bowl which was very flavorful. My daughter had French toast and a lemonade and she said it was perfect. My husband had the chicken and pancake and he said it was delicious. And the biscuits literally just fell apart as you ate them. They were on point. Go check this place out!”

( There’s a little courtyard with a fountain right by the cafe) Everyone at the restaurant was very nice, attentive and helpful. There’s also a bar inside and a pretty big menu for drinks and a wine cart.”
