Power Plant is cute little cafe underneath the Edison, located at Cascades park. It's a place I…read morefrequent on my days off, and last week was my first time dining there since their recent menu flip. That morning I ordered one of my favorites, the lox bagel. I didn't realize that with the new menu changes, ordering a lox bagel meant all assembly required-- by the customer. I received a plastic to-go box with a toasted bagel, a ramekin of cream cheese, a ramekin mixture of capers and onions, and smoked salmon wrapped in a deli sheet. I was puzzled and asked for clarification from a sales associate, as the order was not to-go. I want to stress the fact that there was no negligence whatsoever on the part of the employee-- she's great and always makes my day when I see she's working. However, I find it to be quite a bizarre policy to require a guest to construct their own sandwich. Part of the reason people dine out is to be cared for and have a stress-free morning. It was also a waste of plastic cutlery, as I used a single knife to spread cream cheese and tossed the unneeded fork and spoon. Now while I am proud of my sandwich build and the flavor was good, I was left with fingers that smelled like salmon despite washing my hands multiple times. Not exactly what I was hoping for at 10 am on my day off from working in a restaurant. I understand the fine details of menu flips can be a bit clumsy at first, but I hope management receives this feedback and reconsiders this self-assembly method. I love this place and the atmosphere and staff. The lox bagel experience just didn't hit the mark for me.

My daughter made mention chili was good but a lot of beans for her liking. But flavor was great! Also ordered Pastrami Ruben ( no burger patty) & onion rings with 2 dipping sauces for an up charge of $.75 cents each. Sandwich & onion rings were great. Our server was polite & attentive. Food came out in a timely manner. My only feedback would be when there is an up charge we should have been notified and asked if that is okay. I didn't mind paying for the sauces & all flats but it's customary and appropriate for the waitress/water to notify of additional charges. We will definitely be back though.

We chose Hayward House to celebrate our son's graduation from Florida State University and made a…read more2:15 pm lunch reservation for 6 people because the ceremony was at 7 pm. We drove to Tallahassee that day, but unfortunately got caught in heavy traffic due to President Trump speaking in Sumter County near The Villages. As Soon as we realized we would not make our reservation, we called the restaurant to explain the unavoidable circumstances and asked if there was any way to move our reservation to another time that day. Initially, we were told no, so we canceled the reservation. Shortly afterwards, the restaurant called back and informed us we would be charged a cancellation fee of $ 150 - $ 25.00 per person. I completely understand having a cancellation policy, however, charging $ 25 per person for a lunch reservation during unavoidable traffic circumstances felt excessive and unreasonable, especially after we proactively called ahead. What was even more disappointing was the complete lack of flexibility or compassion during an important family milestone. I explained repeatedly that we were desperately trying not to miss our son's graduation celebration and were even worried about missing the ceremony itself because we were stuck in traffic. I asked about every possible alternative- a later dinner reservation, appetizers only, or even moving reservation to another day. Ever request was denied except for a 4 pm slot, which still was not realistic given the traffic situation. What upset me the most was not just the fee itself, but the unwillingness to work with us. A more customer focused approach could have been allowing the $ 150 to be applied toward a future visit. Because of this experience, my family will NEVER dine at Hayward House, and I would NOT recommend it to other FSU families celebrating special occasions.

Don't come here if you have a big party. We had two tables of ten. I must start this with each…read moretable had its own server. One of the tables had a nice experience. Our table was not great. After waiting forever to get drinks the waiter auctioned off the drinks (which is always a sign of bad service) he had just taken orders for. He served a margarita to a non-drinker telling him it was a mocktail he ordered. We ordered appetizers, which were good. Unfortunately they got cold while we waited for small plate. We asked for other servers in the area for them twice. They never showed up, so we had to eat them with our hands. This would be fine if the shrimp wasn't $44 dollars and not great when eaten cold. We had actually walk into the restaurant to get drink refills. We were there to celebrate and spend money, but we couldn't get service. Flagging down other servers to get another glass of wine or beer is not ideal. When it was time for entres they were not sent out at the same time and were again auctioned off. "Who had the scallops?" Funny thing is I had the scallops and they were stone cold. While waiting for the rest of the food to show up to the table they got even colder. After ten minutes I just ate. After three quarters of the table was served and finished their plates the waiter showed up and 3 people on the table had not been served. They rushed out the three missing dishes after a manager was notified. The craziest thing that happened all evening was when the check was dropping and they added a 22% gratuity. They did take off a couple items. It was hard to tell with a $1500 tab. I have worked in the service industry and am usually sympathetic to servers and restaurants as I have been on the other side of the house. But this experience was too poor to excuse. That being said the other table said they had a great experience. Maybe it was an off night for our server.

They also offer a 5% discount if you pay in cash, which is a nice bonus. I got "The Hummer," which has turkey, feta, black olives, tomato, onion, and lettuce on rye-pumpernickel with mayonnaise and house dressing. It was so good. The bread was SUPER YUMMY and looked beautiful too (if you care about aesthetics). All the flavors blended together really well without anything overpowering, and it had this refreshing quality to it that made it stand out. I would definitely order it again. My partner got "The Sauté," which is turkey with Parmesan, Cheddar, Swiss, and a mix of sautéed onions, peppers, and mushrooms on a warm poppy seed roll, plus lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, and house dressing. The roll was good and it was very flavorful but is was the combination of the veggies, turkey, and melted cheeses gave it a lot of depth. Everything tasted fresh. I got a combo with Mrs. Vickie's salt and vinegar chips, which is always a good sign. And the sweet tea--wow. It wasn't overly sweet, but what really stood out was the flavor. You could actually taste the tea, with slightly minty, earthy notes that made it feel really well done. That's rare. Overall, for what this place is, it deserves all stars. The staff was kind and helpful, the food came out quickly, and everything we had was genuinely good. P.S. There is no photos because I forgot due to it being so da** good!

Most of the drinks here are Mythologically themed- Aphrodite, Apollo, Hercules, you get the point. I tried the Persephone, which was a pomegranate flavored coffee. Super on par for Greek Mythology, if you know you know. Yes, getting a pomegranate coffee was extremely risky, but it was so intriguing I had to try it out. And let me say, it was probably as good as a pomegranate coffee could turn out. You could definitely taste it but it wasn't so overpowering or artificial tasting. I don't think I'd try it again as I'd rather just have a plain coffee but I was fairly impressed. There's not a ton of seating in here but could be a very peaceful place to study and do work. Plus a cute gated & shaded courtyard right outside the shop.
