    I was greeted by the bartender in the front because she just happened to be at the cash register. I actually could've walked to the bar area to see how it was as a whole section of it and it is nice and clean and stocked. It's a few customers inside. She's doing it herself, but she can handle it. They have one too. They have 3 big screens tv, I ordered tater tots and a glass of Chardonnay wine. Let's see how it looks when it comes out. they also have a nice happy hour from 2 to 5. I came at 1:20 so I was too early. OK, I add the ketchup and the hot sauce to it for my own flavoring but it looks good. Let's see if we can try it so far five out of five the bartender is great. Everything is good. Oops I just found something. I have no silverware so I have to wait for her to come back.

    3.75/5: I think it's my 2nd or 3rd time here. Came here for Galentines Celebration on Saturday and they were pretty busy so we waited about 30mins, which is ok. 3.75 rating is specially for the Salmon benedict. I was deciding between Crab and Salmon and went with Salmon because in the photos crab looks really small and it's not a crab cake so. Although the Salmon benedict was good, there was a very thin layer of Salmon under the poached egg and the sauce and I looked. This was the place closest to all of us so we came here.

    This was my second visit to this cute restaurant. I absolutely loved the vide and the ambiance. We were greeted before we even entered! One the staff was outside sweeping the front entrance. He even opened the door for us. My boyfriend and I were seated promptly. We were given a sufficient amount of time to browse the menu and make our decision. We placed our order and in about 12 mins our food was at our table! My boyfriend ordered the biscuits and gravy. It came with 2 eggs and hash browns. I ordered the Cinnamon Toast Crunch pancakes combo. Both of our meals were amazing! We also ordered the mimosa flight. Those too were good and strong. I didn't really care for the cucumber flavored one. It tasted more like straight champagne. We'll be back in near future! I want to try the Oreo pancakes
