This place is a hidden gem! We absolutely loved our brunch here. It was a Saturday, but we were able to get a table quickly. They do take reservations and that would be a good idea on the weekend. The menu was different, definitely a foodie place. I had the crab cake Benedict with pesto hollandaise sauce and I loved every bite! The sauce was special. It had a fried green tomato under the crab cake. Hubby had strawberry basil waffles and he’s still talking about it. He loved the berry and basil combo in the syrup. The waffles had sugar pearls baked in, ricotta on top and then whipped cream. Wow! The service was efficient even though they were busy. Take your time and enjoy the beautiful atmosphere of a wildflower garden. Go there for breakfast or brunch!

This was the first time I have dined there. A very nice place with a variety of items on the menu. We went there twice for breakfast. Did not have to wait long right after 9:00 AM. All of our food was good both times. The only bad thing I can say would be, I didn’t care for the (bacon?)gravy on the biscuit. The biscuit was delicious, for some reason, I always expect white gravy for breakfast. That’s just me, but I will be back the next time we are there. The place was clean. The waitresses were friendly and very nice.

This is a quaint little spot. We stopped in for breakfast, and both ordered the “Little Bird” breakfast. Eggs(we did scrambled), bacon, potatoes, and toast(sourdough, wheat, or English muffin) all for $12. Added a yummy cappuccino for $4. The food was delicious, but my only “nit pick” was that the potatoes were on the verge of being too greasy. Because of this, I didn’t finish all of mine. The Blueberry jam they gave on the side was so yummy! Definitely seemed like it was local and/or homemade. I gave it 4 stars on atmosphere because it is an old building and our table was right by a very drafty window. On a cold day, it’s hard to warm up sitting there.

I would say the only downside is that I did not know that we needed reservations. But we were patient and got a table, and the food is totally worth it. I love that they have such a variety of vegetarian items!

I had the biscuit quiche with side salad and a side of hollandaise the breakfast quiche was very good. However, it was near to the last piece and the crust was definitely close to burnt and very dry to the point of almost being like a cracker and nothing like what I expected. But everything else was very good. They definitely have very good coffee. Not sure if it’s a local Brown county Brew but it’s very good

This place is amazing but the bartender gave the worst service I’ve seen in a very long time. Blatantly ignored us while talking to her friend standing three feet away from us. For a long time and we were the only other people in the room at the time! We almost left. A bit later, another table in another room left because she ignored them so long, then she proceeded to bad mouth them to everyone in the bar. Extremely rude and unprofessional. With all that said I would go back in a heartbeat! The food was absolutely amazing! The drinks were wonderful and the atmosphere is really interesting.

They were busy when we arrived and seemed understaffed. We were seated right away and weren’t in a rush. They have a quirky kind of decor and it was enjoyable. The food was good, yet a bit pricey for what we had.
