ordered the kitchen sink hash and it was delicious! lots of veggies and the sausage was a perfect complement, eggs cooked exactly as I ordered, and excellent biscuits. excellent coffee which can be hard to find. my family likes to order complicated recipes (unfortunately) and the waitress caught every detail and even offered a substitution we didn't even think of. she was so kind and attentive and took great care of us. I cant wait to come back.
We came here on a Tuesday morning for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised. If you get there between 8am-11am, they have an $8 early bird breakfast menu. We got a smoked salmon scramble and the tres leches griddle cakes. The total came out to $18, which is an incredible deal! The smoked salmon scramble was fantastic and came with roasted potatoes and an arugula salad. The potatoes were very crispy and seasoned nicely, the salad was acidic and complimented the rest of the food well. The griddle cakes, which were just regular pancakes, came with chopped almonds, sweet condensed milk and a guava syrup drizzle. The pancakes were fluffy and tasted homemade, and the guava syrup was a tasty and interesting twist. They have about 4 items on their early bird breakfast menu, all of which are a great deal for only $8 and change. Where can you find breakfast at a sit down restaurant (besides IHOP or Denny's) for $8?? Will definitely be back!
Today I had the #Misto Quente" the Brazilian eggs benedict with crispy potatoes - dalish. Sat at the bar; Sam behind the bar was in point. The restaurant switches out their menu theme every 3-4 months... including decor and vice. They just had Hawaii, now they're Brazilian and the next month they're doing New Orleans and then after that, they don't know lol... how cool though.
Amazing experience!!! Zach is a brilliant waiter - very attentive and engaging, I went here on a Winter's day - and sat in the corner- lured in by the sunshine I ordered a side of the smashed fingerling potatoes not listed on the menu but I craved potatoes and they told me they did indeed make them which made me sooo HAPPY I also ordered a cup of tomato soup. I asked for a dipping sauce like ranch and the waiter Zach said "Sorry we don't have any ranch but the chef has created a green goddess dressing - would you like to try that?" so that's what I tried I was WOWED - the whole meal and the dressing was so delicious! Dipping potatoes in and out of a dressing (which was named green goddess - but more of an elevated garlic aioli with pizazz and then potatoes into made-from-scratch refreshing tomato soup with Parmesan and the sun streaming onto my table - what a delight! I was in heaven. Thankyou for making my traumatic morning turn into a sanctuary away from all my troubles for an hour. I shall be back again and again
Justice gave amazing service with a friendly smile. We were sat promptly, explained the menu and time limits on ordering breakfast. Offered beverages. When my husband noticed I was cold next to the window he asked if we could move to another table. They had no problem accommodating our request. When it came to ordering, we had a couple of questions about the menu that Justice was well equipped to handle as she knew the answers off the top of her head. Our meals were delivered quickly, fresh and hot. Most of all delicious. Justice came to check on us but was not overly present. She provided perfect service. The staff moved quickly and seamlessly together. All the guests were seated appropriately spaced which provided a comfortable dining experience.
Went to Cooks Tavern for breakfast for the fest time and ordered their special Waffle Slam. They had so many options to good from their menu and was recommended to try the Waffle Slam and it didn't disappoint. The waffle was really crispy and fluffy and it goes perfectly with the house made maple syrup they provide on the dish. The bacon is perfectly crispy and the sunny side eggs were cooked to perfection. The service was great, the waiter was nice and friendly to us. We were seated to our table pretty quickly and our food came out quickly too even though it was a busy morning. The ambiance of the tavern is really nice and modern. Very clean and visually appealing. Overall my experience was really good and i definitely would recommend the waffles if you are in the mood for breakfast.
