    Friendly staff! They were able to accommodate my friend in a wheelchair and we were glad to be in the corner so we were out of the way. All of the food was fresh, hot, & delicious. Good sized portions. I recommend ordering tots and sharing an entree. Very cozy restaurant with nice decor. My party of 4 didn't need to speak too loudly to hear each other. Small parking lot and on-street/meter parking. Great place to meet-up or have a nice meal by yourself.

    Passing through and stopped in for breakfast. We both had a simple breakfast, eggs, home fries, toast, and bacon. Food was cooked to order and not bad. The server was prompt and accommodating. The decor was a little dated, the vibe boring. If you're looking for average food and a quick in and out this spot is for you. No frills, just food.

    Caprese Omelette with rye bread

    I found a week day breakfast/lunch place that offers Mimosas! My husband and I are on an adventure of dining at all of the Natick restaurants! We were seated at a table for 2. My husband felt cold from the above AC vent. I went over to another empty table to see if it would be better for us. The owner saw me, I told him the situation, he said Let me help you and moved all our place settings to the new table. So I get my delicious tropical fruit juice blend Mimosa while we wait comfortable for our meals. I enjoyed looking at the pretty window box flowers. Husband was happy with his pancakes and he's a pancake connoisseur! I had my first ever caprese omelette. The mozzarella and roasted tomatoes were delizioso.

    Breakfast! New place. I know the area and if you remember where the dolphin restaurant was, you'll know it too. Parking is limited. Very intimate. Seated quickly, menus in hand. Breakfast choices a plenty. Settled on "the Spartan" (scrambled eggs, bacon, pork sausages, pancakes). Fresh and hot. Coffee was good too. For 8:20 in the morning. Busy but not loud at all. Close and intimate so you don't have to yell to be heard. Easy check out and got to meet Eli, will be back!

    Stopped here for breakfast with my husband while in town visiting family. The restaurant was on the smaller side but we didn't have to wait for a table although they were busy. I ordered the French toast and the loaded tater tots which were both good. I didn't really like the spicy mayo with the tater tots but ketchup worked fine. I did like that the syrup was served warm with the French toast. The waiter was good and attentive. Overall it was a good breakfast experience.

    Breakfast Burrito with some cheesy tots blurred in the back

    Had a lovely experience getting some warm comforting brunch goodies this morning, especially as I was wanting something on the lighter side that I could wolf down with ease. I must say that the breakfast burrito really hit the spot, with how soft the scrambled eggs were and how the textures within the wrap complemented each other quite nicely. Though the real star of the morning would probably be the cheesy tots, with how flavorful they were and how satisfyingly crispy each and every bite was - it was definitely something to consume while fresh and hot! Great and friendly service, comfy and cozy atmosphere, and portions that were just right for an easygoing morning fare. I'd totally come back again!

    Great local spot for lunch! I love the art on the wall of vintage kitchen tools. They typically fill up for brunch and will have a wait 11:00am so get there early or be prepared to wait. Prices are very reasonable and they are very generous about keeping your coffee full. If you do have to wait, stay put it's worth it.

    Rise N' Shine w/ scrambled eggs, andouille sausage, home fries, and marble rye.
    David L.

    Big portions of decent breakfast foods, with a menu focused on egg-based options, including a wide selection of omelets. I opted for the Rise 'N Shine w/ two scrambled eggs, home fries, andouille sausage, and marble rye toast. A few little tweaks could kick this from 3.5/4 stars to 5 stars. The andouille provided a strong, smoky spicy kick, that the relatively bland skin-on earthy potatoes needed. The scrambled eggs were too well done for my liking, but to be fair, I didn't request them any particular way. Marble rye was nice choice, but it always bugs me when they put a dollop of butter in the center rather than taking a moment to spread it crust-to-crust. The restaurant ambience is pleasant enough and the temperature inside was comfortable, but it is in a weird building that doesn't seem to be heated in the hallway or bathroom, so the bathroom is freezing and had no hot water. On the bright side, the portions are perfect - enough that you can skip lunch or have some leftovers. Coffee was smooth and hot with refills upon request. The fruit cup is more like a fruit bowl, with a nice amount of honeydew, cantaloupe, pineapple, and grapes. Service was prompt and friendly on a busy Saturday morning.

    I find it rare to eat at a breakfast place and get great coffee and great food. It seems like you get one or the other. Eli's has both.

    Our family had a wonderful dinner at Buttercup this week. Delish cocktails to start, I had the…read moreshrimp / saffron risotto with a roasted beet salad on the side and it was absolutely delish! Great service, fabulous food, and warm environs... will definitely be back!

    This always pops up on Yelp, so we finally made reservations for our anniversary dinner…read more Disappointed they didn't do anything special or acknowledge the special occasion, even after replying to their survey post-visit. Server was nice but you could tell they were understaffed that night and sat too many tables at once. Once we sat done down and given water it took a while before our server appeared. The pacing was off and there were long periods between our order and apps, entree, and dessert. - bread service: kind of expensive ($13) for 5 pieces of bread and a dollop of each dipping sauce. Try just bread and butter for $6 - cornbread: delicious but small portion for $14. Also not a fan of the cutting board presentation - kids Mac and cheese: very cheesy ($12) - tiger shrimp risotto: ($34) good flavor but risotto was underdone - fried chicken: ($30) so crispy and cooked perfectly but had an odd spice in there like cinnamon? The star was the fried green tomatoes and the buttermilk ranch! Perfectly fried and crunchy while the tomatoes stayed firm and a very tasty ranch dressing! - dessert: warm cow sugar cookies were nice and warm sitting in butterscotch pudding, very cute! - the toffee in the butterscotch pudding ($11) was super crunchy, wish there were more cubes mixed in - warm chocolate brownie ($15) was missing the creme anglaise? Or the splatter of it was very small? I liked the open kitchen, high ceilings and farm2table concept but be prepared to spend $$$. Some street parking available and metered lot across the street.
