    Breakfast foods, delicious- yogurt bowl with fresh fruit and granola. Eggs and a large pancake, homemade breakfast sausage, all delicious! Coffee and hot tea. Q was fantastic, very helpful. The restaurant is cute , clean . Really liked the menu! Can't wait for our town In Illinois to open ! It's soon.

    Tri-Fecta- French Toast with hard fried egg and bacon

    We to breakfast here every morning. The service was great every time. My husband has the shrimp and grits with million dollar bacon, it was delicious. I had French toast with hard fried eggs and bacon. It was good. I had the morning meditation which is great. The waitress every time was friendly and nice. It was great environment, clean and pleasant.

    Bowl with horrible taste and not like picture on menu board. Greens missing or something.

    The hostess came to table once and never replenished our drinks. She was not familiar with menu and brought me wrong item. Additionally on my way pass the restroom a cook came out the restroom with his hands in his front pants and a glove on one hand and I said to him, did you wash your hands. And he said how would you know. I said you are pulling your hands out from the front of your private area and should wash your hands but he kept going to the kitchen area. Another host was putting her hair up with her hand in a clamp. She didn't wash her hands either. I lost my appetite. Wow what a morning. Sanitation is not a priority for this staff. My grandkids oatmeal was dry and overcooked. He didn't eat one bite. He loves oatmeal but not this one. Added milk didn't help. My granddaughter French toast was dry also.

    Upon entering there were two hostess stands, a small bar area with limited seating, and a waiting area with couches near the bar. We were told we would be 20 to 30 minutes so we opted to sit in the small bar area. There were people on either side of us receiving their food and everything looked appetizing. We ended up ordering chickichanga, and a ham and gruyerre omelette. My chickichanga was delicious and the potatoes and fruit. were perfect. I loved the cheese sauce on top of my dish. My husband said his omelette was fine. Nothing too special--but he LOVED the potatoes. The service at the bar area was great. The ladies were on top of it, and our food came out very quick. There were about five tables for outdoor seating, but they were all taken. One group had a pup with them so it is good to know dogs can be in the outdoor areas.

    The positives... This a cute place. Our server was very sweet and attentive…read more The negatives: The Food. We arrived at 12:30. Closing time is 2. We were informed there's no pancakes and no waffles. Strike 1. We ordered the crab cake bene, the original shrimp and grits and the French toast with scramble. The French toast was fine. Nothing special. The scramble however was a complete joke. They clearly have a vat of their "side eggs" just ready for the scoopin. They were cold and oh so dry. My sister's crab cake entree was absolutely disgusting. The crab cake was orange on the inside, it was mushy and no discernible taste of crab whatsoever. It looked like a dark brown salmon patty my mama would make with a Double Q. The shrimp and grits. Wow and not in a good way. 50 percent of the bowl was onions. Both raw (and almost raw) onions and green onions. There were FOUR shrimp that were absolutely TINY (about the size of a Wild West shrimp from Longhorn) and they had the poop STILL IN THEM. Did I mention that this cost us ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS!?!?!? I want to stress again.... Our server was great. I always feel guilty writing bad reviews but I just had to be honest. Yelp ya steered us the wrong way on this one.

    They are dog friendly and we were in the area, so we stopped in hopes of a decent lunch. We got…read moreseated in the very confined front porch (right side is what they call it, left front porch if you're facing the building). Our dogs enjoyed their Peanut butter yogurt with apples. My wife ordered the macho salad and I ordered the shrimp & grits. Immediately after placing our order, my plate shows up. Wow, that was fast. Meanwhile we wait while they then deliver my salad. Seems a bit out of order but ok. Then we wait. And get a Caesar salad. And advise - not ours. While waiting we hear the server next to us announce the specials - which our server did NOT inform us of as we arrived. My wife would have ordered different. Finally her salad arrives and we eat. My shrimp and grits were sparse on shrimp and were made with mushrooms and reminded me of ingredients found in an omelet. Not a typical flavor. I finished most but not all of it. Just a bit weird. And that 1/2 a biscuits? A lump of flavorless starch. Our server was nice but seems she wasn't as seasoned as other servers nearby. She should inform everyone of the specials. Ask your server if there are specials. Our cocktails were the best part of our meal. And the prices? That bowl of shrimp and grits, along with my simple side salad were a whopping $23. My wife's salad was comparably priced. The dogs split their bowl, which was $10 just a bit much but they did bring us a bowl of water. All-in-all average food, a bit cramped for seating, over priced and a server that needed to up her game.

Started with the tomato pie appetizer and it was a "miss" from our perspective. The entrees did not disappoint. Would absolutely go here again if in Bluffton.

Their menu is extensive with plenty of domestic and imported wines, craft beer and creative cocktails to pair with your meal. I opted for the Soup, Salad and biscuit "Nectar Combo" with She Crab Bisque, their Nectar Salad and a sweet potato biscuit. The Nectar salad has thick cut bacon, cucumber, blistered tomatoes, blue cheese, topped with toasted almonds served with their tomato vinaigrette. It had fresh mixed greens and was very good! The She Crab Bisque was flavorful but very thick - not actually a bisque texture. Backing off the thickening ingredient of their bisque would improve this soup. Lastly, I changed my original choice of Seafood Omelette once I found out their shrimp is brought in from Louisiana. I do not understand having access to fresh shrimp daily in this coastal area just off the Atlantic Ocean and opting to serve frozen, trucked in shrimp. I guess to comes down to profit? I was glad I asked my waitress, and I appreciate her checking and giving me an honest response. I'll return, but I certainly won't be ordering their shrimp unless they change their supplier to one of the local businesses.
