Had breakfast this morning. It was my first visit and the food was good, BUT, I ordered decaf coffee because caffeine gives me migraines, and was given regular coffee. I was specific, was told it had to be brewed and would I mind the wait. That was no problem. It was really good coffee which should have told me there was something wrong as decaf usually lacks flavor. I asked for a refill and when she brought the carafe, I asked again if this was decaf and was told it was. A few sips in, the caffeine began to hit me, shakes, heart pounding, head bursting. It had to be the first cup because a few sips from the second could not have taken effect that quickly. I am not sure who brewed the coffee, so I don't know whether the waitress disregarded my request and then lied to me or if the person who brewed it disregarded the request and then lied to the waitress or maybe it was an honest mistake all the way around. However, be it intentional or a mistake it is very concerning that more care is not given to a specific dietary request. What if I had a life-threatening allergy to something? I don't think I would patronize this restaurant for fear they don't take these issues seriously. But if you have no issues, the food was good, done perfectly (I'm pretty picky about my eggs), the service was okay, quick, but don't expect refills on drinks without asking, and the pricing is average for the area.

Always delicious food, great service, great atmosphere. They come up with seasonal plates and sometimes daily specials. There are more traditional and some unusual options. It's a great place to go if you want some good healthy food as well. This is probably my favorite sit-down restaurant in SM, though it can be pretty pricey. I recommend going for a special occasion.

Delicious every time I have gone. I prefer to order breakfast, because I could eat that all day for any meal. I also love their desserts. Very cute place underneath another building. Just off the square. Not cheap but not expensive. Cute place for brunch.

On a week night we got seated immediately. The service was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being pushy or invasive. Food was nicely portioned and presentation was fine. Their beer is improving though still rustic. Great spot for a clean bite with the family or friends.

Love going to this place. The beer bread with honey butter is absolutely amazing. The cheese plate is pretty awesome too and has pickled veggies, jam, lemon curd, mustard, bread, different types of cheeses, and fresh fruit. I never get beyond these two appetizers but I am sure the food here is just as great!
