Brad Walker
It was our first time dining here and we loved it! Park behind the building and enter by the outdoor seating. There is a new menu every week with some interesting and all locally sourced options.

Was a beautiful kitchen and unique place. The food and menu items were a bit pricey for our budget, but the food is locally sourced, and the menu is new every week. Overall, it was a good experience! Food is a bit different, not the usual restaurant items, but the flavors were all good! There were a lot of vegan/ gluten-free options as well this week. Our favorite was the popcorn shrimp tacos! You can tell everything was fresh made. Drinks were small for price. For two people with one appetizer, one desert, 2 drinks (alcoholic), and 2 entrees, it was 91 dollars. I did still enjoy the evening, and it was a cool experience. I would be open to coming again

Everything was amazing. The mimosas are unique and absolutely delicious. Strongly recommend trying the flight. Not cheap at $20, but worth the experience.

Excellent for breakfast/brunch. I love the vibe and all the natural light. Servers were great, and the food was delicious. We loved the pancake balls. The Hollandaise for the Benedict was amazing. We also tried the Mimosa flight, my favorite was the raspberry one. Fairly priced. We will be back.

Great food and environment. The service could have been better. The waiter didn’t check on us at all after bringing our drinks.

Nice and cozy atmosphere, good food but not all. Salmon was tasty but very small piece and high price. Pasta very good. Burger was good. Pretzel and rhubarb tart not tasty. And VERY STRANGE – they have kids plays with many kids but don’t have kids menu. (Only not tasty pretzel). They should manage it.

We don’t venture into Rockford very often, but when we do, we check out new places to eat. I’m definitely glad we stumbled upon this hidden gem! The place seems to be very popular, it was full and busy on Saturday morning. We got seated right away, the staff was nice and attentive. Bar seating is fun, the atmosphere cool and relaxing. We had Danish pancakes and shakshuka, both were excellent, fresh, and delicious. Coffee hot and strong, just as I like. I will definitely be back to try some sandwiches and drinks.
