Went here for breakfast, staff were knowledgeable and friendly. My meal was marked with a toothpick to ensure I got the right meal, which felt nice knowing they were paying attention. I got the classic bacon and eggs with potatoes and fruit and it was really good! I would highly recommend!

Gf eggs Benedicts in so many flavors! Hasbrowns are gf too, and they cooked everything in separate, clean pans for me. Waiter asked if I was celiac- always a good sign! Really delicious mimosas too.

Excellent eggs Benedict on a gluten free English muffin. Small space, so might be difficult to get a table on the weekend (I went on a Friday morning). Open for breakfast and lunch.
