Fall Menu is here!
Sep 24, 2024 - Nov 25, 2024
With the cooler weather comes those fall flavors you've been waiting for, including our Homestyle Meatloaf, prepped freshly every day, an earthy feast of ground meat, carrots, celery, onions, challah bread, baked to perfection, topped with a ketchup glaze and served with our hand whipped mashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Our Harvest Salad with baby kale, butternut squash, gala apple, crispy farro, brussels sprouts, candied pecans, goat cheese, all tossed in an apple cider vinaigrette. And if you're looking for something more savory, try our Apple Spiced Pancakes. We've also got Figs, and meat alternatives that include braised Shiitake Mushrooms and course, our home made chicken noodle soup. It's all back, a fall symphony on your plate.

I’ve always loved the food and atmosphere here. This time, the food was “meh”. I ordered the chicken and waffles. Chicken was crispy and tasty but the waffle was super disappointing - soggy and melted into mush. Drink and pop tarts were good, as usual. At minute 61, (I checked my watch) we were explicitly asked to vacate the table, which was unpleasant. We were about to stand up and leave, after my guest had returned from the restroom, but were actively dismissed instead. I am very sensitive to the need to turn over tables during busy times, but we had not overstayed IMO. (Not had we been rude, loud, demanding, etc. No reason for the staff to wish us gone.) It felt a little like they should just install eviction chairs that pop at minute 61! It left us feeling unwelcome and unappreciated, in a neighborhood with tons of more welcoming meal options. We won't be going back.

Great food and service as always. Our waiter, Michael, was very attentive without being overbearing.

Food was delicious. I had the stroganoff. I recommend experiencing the cinnamon roll for the table (it’s huge). I love that they have all day breakfast. Also there is a great variety of selections on the menu. Overall I love this place will be my go to for brunch.

Everything I tried was disgusting. Macaroni, truffle balls, pancakes, and the fried chicken honey sandwich was burnt

Really hit the spot. Loved the arrangement of the chia pudding - tasty and visually pleasing. Cubicle tater tots were excellent. Would eat here again.
