I ordered the Spicy Dill Caesar (my American friends, get on board already) and the Ribeye Hash and my wife got the Forager Benny. First off, Armaan has a gift as a Spirit whisperer and made me the only tomato based drink I have ever liked in my life! And then the Whiskey Sour he made later had the right proportions, ingredients, and presentation of a well crafted cocktail. The food was insane. The service was professional but friendly & comfortable. And we can't wait to brunch here again. Also sorry for the empty glass pic. The cocktails were so good I forgot to take a pic until I was done.

All staff were great / my friend is Celtic so it's hard to eat out sometimes but the 3 servers we encountered were all well versed in how to deal with this. I follow a low carb diet so it was more difficult for me to find something to eat. I ordered the pulled pork hash on greens - it was good but super sweet unfortunately. No demerits to the Spoon for that. I could have ordered a side of bacon. My latte was good and we got to sit in the sun.

Great ambience and friendly staff. very comfortable setting and great spot for catching up with friends. We ordered the egg benedict with bacon as well as the avocado toast. the egg benedict was very well made and the hallandaise sauce was great and went very well with the egg benny. The ring shaped harsh brown was cute and crispy. (forgot to take picture of the benny) The avocado toast was served with sliced avocado, which is exactly my preference, instead of the smashed avocado. The balsamic vinegar on the arugula was well balanced. Minor downside were the eggs. the eggs on both the benny and avocado toast were slightly overcooked. Would love it to be a bit more runny.

This seemed like a really great stop near the border which was a win as I was nearing hangry status. Funny enough, as we crossed the crosswalk in front of the restaurant the server was outside and happily greeted us and welcomed us in. It's a sort of long and narrow building with the cutest and most eclectic decor around. There was a young girl at the bar as we came in eating cut up pancakes, watching football, and I felt like I had hopped into a cousins kitchen for an impromptu brunch. We walked down the long, narrow hallway, passing cute signs and pictures before the restaurant opened up into a still small dining area with about six tables in front of a huge window that overlooked the harbor and the train tracks. It was quaint and cozy, and exactly what we were looking for. We both ordered a pretty basic breakfast. Mine was two eggs, potatoes, and toast and my partner got the same but with meat. Our server recommended the sausage patty, and it did not disappoint. The potatoes were out of this world slightly under seasoned, but nothing a little salt and pepper and hot sauce couldn't fix, but they were absolutely cooked to perfection so any under seasoning was easily forgettable. The potatoes were what I would normally call pan fried potatoes, but they were the perfect combination of soft and crunchy, and you could tell they were made with so much butter, which was much nicer in flavor than when these are cooked in heavy oil. The sourdough toast was delicious and the eggs were perfectly cooked. They definitely seemed like they were basic eggs and it would've been nice if they were a little more higher quality, but I recognize that that would've driven the overall price up. Food came out really quickly and coffees and waters were filled regularly. Our server was super attentive and you could hear her having conversations with regulars throughout our visit and it was an overall grade vibe. If you like hot sauce, I definitely recommend you try their Viking blood hot sauce. It's made locally and was absolutely delicious. Brought a nice smoky flavor without burning your face off. The meal was a little spendy. I think it was about $17 for the non-meat version and a couple extra bucks for the sausage patty. Coffee was good, but nothing to write home about. I was pleased that they accept cash or card as some of the previous reviews showed that their cash only but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. We will definitely be back!

This was by far and away the most delicious lentil soup of my admittedly long lifetime. The Beyti kebab was delectably seasoned and paired with a lovely tangy yogurt. We had a fresh and delicious eggplant starter served with a warm fresh pita. Our wonderful server Sema recommended the chicken shish kebab and it was so delicious. My 9 year old son has had Mediterranean food, but this is his first time trying Turkish food. When he saw me writing a review he wanted to write on too -- he asked that we bring some spiced bulghur rice home. I can't wait to bring my elderly father here -- he will love the music and the feast!

It's hands down my favorite and makes a great taco shell! We got the Adnan kebab, lamb shank, and some eggplant appetizer, and had no room for any dessert, unfortunately. I would 200% order everything again, but would also ensure I hadn't eaten in days so I could eat more. The meat was very flavorful and tender - no dry meat here! The only things I might say could use some addressing is that the service is pretty slow - only got my water glass filled once - and the music was LOUD. Otherwise, it was a really nice dinner and I appreciated the decor and ambiance. Note - it is dry restaurant, but the food is so good, you won't even miss the booze.

While the food is insanely good, the service is extremely slooooow. They take slow to a new level. 3 tables were occupied when I was there. While the server was quick to seat customers and bring menu, they were super slow in taking orders. Priority seemed to be to seat customers. I didn't realize two tables did not have their orders taken yet so it took a while to get to me. My coffee mug had lipstick stains on it and it took a while before I could catch the staff's attention to have a new mug. The classic and pancake breakfast are inclusive of coffee (refillable) which are pretty good at $16 inclusive of tax. I decided to get the pancakes. The bacon was made perfectly, one of the best I ever had. Crispy and not oily. The pancakes were fluffy. Eggs done over easy. Food was really good and portion was decent. I could not finish my pancake. In hindsight, I should have gotten the half order. I like that they have that option. 2-hour street parking is available. And it is CASH ONLY. They put up plenty of signs around the restaurant to remind customers. And the staff knows the regulars by names. Very nice. Come here if you're not in a hurry.

From the hostess to the server to the runner, not one of our interactions was great. No one was friendly or even smiled. We thanked them so many times and they were nonchalant. I don't even think we were needy. They were just not friendly at all. Food was delicious! I can't say that enough. From the pancakes, waffles, taters, and omelettes, the food was stellar. I got the Greek Frittata Omelette (Spinach, Feta, Sautéed Onions, Mushrooms, Topped with Freshly Diced Tomatoes & In-House Garlic Olive Tapenade. Served Open Faced with Toast & Pan Fries) and it was MASSIVE. The flavor is on point with fresh veg and amazing flavors. The tapenade is such a unique and nice salty touch.
