Busy place, the host offered us to wait 15 min or choose the bar. The atmosphere was very inviting. The bartender was very nice and helpful. Coffee was amazing, new style. I almost thought everything was perfect, but I hastened to a conclusion. Unfortunately ,the chef of this place thinks more about how meals look, then how they taste. The food was completely tasteless. Even a couple next to us said the same thing. So the people who work here should try the food before they serve it to people.

There is a 10 to 15 minute wait for a table. The servers are prompt to take your order, and the coffee is delicious. The food was served hot. We did have to frequently ask for more coffee but overall, the experience was pleasant.

We have found our “breakfast spot.” We moved to Bluffton 10 months ago and have tried a lot of restaurants.. found date night hangout, deli, girls get away… and now have our perfect breakfast/brunch spot!!

This is a great place for brunch – the food is plentiful and filling, all fresh, tasty and local, and the drinks are interesting and refreshing. It’s been perfectly cooked. We’ve stopped in twice in my time here and have had great food both times. The staff are lovely and informative, and the food tends to come out pretty quickly. It can get busy at the weekends, especially with the after-church crowd on a Sunday, so go early to avoid the queue. The pancakes are literally the size of a plate, so don’t think you can easily manage two unless you have a mighty hunger! They do have gluten-free options, which was nice. I honestly think this restaurant provides great value for money.
