What Diners Are Saying
"I love this place. This time we came in a group of 4 people for brunch. We waited about 20 minutes. We could see a good number of tables available, but they weren’t seating more people. I think because they didn’t have enough waiters. They had indoor and outdoor spaces. This time we sat outside. It felt like a peaceful jungle. We also stepped inside and it was cooler inside and also nicely cluttered with mixed busy decor, but different. The selection of brunch items was not much. The menu seemed full, but when we started reading the description of each item, they all had the same ingredients: eggs and pork! Two of us were vegetarian, and one of us didn’t like eggs! So we were stuck with what to order. Maybe the lunch or dinner menu is better, but we didn’t order from those. I don’t think I want to go again for brunch! I might try going again for another meal at different time of the day. The service was less than regular. The waiters popped in and out very quickly to drop the goods and leave without any personal touch. I must say that I don’t like to have people with extra long beard carrying and serving my food. The beard was dangling a few inches above my food. I have no problem with people with beard, but it would be great if they can cover it while they’re carrying people’s food. I was frantically looking for hair in my food. I also noticed that more than one waiter/busboy with a long beard! I will go again to try to pump up my review with a better experience."- Anna Aljabiry
"I had such a wonderful breakfast at this restaurant! The food was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. Every bite was flavorful from the perfectly cooked eggs to the fluffy pancakes and freshly brewed coffee. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and attentive, which made the experience even better. The atmosphere was cozy and clean, a perfect place to start the day. I’ll definitely be coming back…. highly recommended!"- Saja Shaheen
"I am definitely not a breakfast person, but I love coming here for breakfast or brunch whatever you wanna call it. Their menu is so diverse. There were all kinds of cool items to order. My sister and I had a fantastic experience here. From the mocha to the breakfast to the maybe not the smartest idea to eat dessert for breakfast… but the Double Dog Cake is so good!!! Our server was a super cool dude. Even though we don’t really live close by I love coming down here cause the atmosphere is very cool. ."- mandy harris
"Wow! I got the fiery grilled chicken sandwich and I already want another. My partner got the French connection and the French toast was unforgettable and the kids blueberry pancakes were delicious as well! Not a single complaint. Wait time was 1 hour and we got in, in 30 minutes and got our food quickly. Will be back soon."- Haley Gill
"Was a random stop and even though it was busy it was beautiful. Once in a lifetime experience. There is nothing like this back home. The wait was worth it and the food was excellent. I loved the diverse menu and the portions. Im sad this will probably be mu only time here but it will forever be memorable."- Amy S
