    Great menu, well-prepared and -served! Usually pretty busy ('cause it is popular); so a little noisy. Worth a wait, if necessary. Clean & classy.

    Such a nice place for brunch! I always enjoy the food and the service is usually good too. My only issue is the consistency, almost everytime there is something missing from our order. Today I had the choose 2 lunch with soup and the pecan salad. It was all delicious but the salad was missing the avocado and bread. Also I wish they would add a make your own breakfast option. My husband wanted a banana Pancake but didn't want eggs or meat with it just fruit. So he had to order a single pancake and a large fruit which ordered separately was $12. The drinks and coffee are great. They offer a free bogo meal on your bday. Kids meals are a little small but ok. Wish they offered soup, salad, and better variety for kids. The girls bathroom could use some repairs. There was an actual hole in the wall (!) Of the handicap stall and the latch on the door was hanging off. Overall, great healthy place for brunch in NWA!

    The Menu is NOT a traditional menu the food is over done with too many extras. The dining room was really noisy. 75 decibels Hostess was a SHIM. Wont be back. Black Bear cafe and Neal's have you beat 10 fold.

    Traditional Eggs Benedict... couple of bites missing from potatoes.

    Been sometime since we stopped in. Greeted in a friendly manner. Seated quickly. Our drinks came quickly after ordered. After that... our server had to be flagged down for help. I did see other severs hustling about taking good care of their tables. Towards the end she perked up and did good. My food arrived lukewarm, my wife's pancake was cold. They made the pancake again for her. I ate mine as I was very hungry after a fast for a medical test. I ordered million dollar bacon that did not arrive until I was well into my meal. But it was hot and delicious. The coffee as always was fantastic.

    Stopped in for breakfast. There was a short wait but the hostess was very friendly and got us seated quickly. French toast and breakfast tacos were very good. Egg, chorizo, cheese, tomatoes and avocado on whole wheat tortillas. This is a great location when you're hungry. Have a Yelptastic day!!!

    Went for brunch and I think they had just opened. The staff was very welcoming and most of them were cleaning which is always good because it means their kitchen is probably really clean too. We had 6 in our party. Everything tasted fresh and delicious, especially the fruit and the bread on my Monterey Club sandwich was super soft and fresh. The server Cas was super sweet. We were visiting our family in Arkansas and our pregnant cousin stated that this was her new favorite place for brunch.

I love the trendy laid back atmosphere, both inside and it includes a nice patio space. I noticed several people either dining with others or doing some reading or work on their computers, quite an endorsement of how relaxing the environment is. I had the Breakfast Sammy, which was absolutely delicious. The ingredients tasted quite fresh and each component was really nailed. My wife went with The Dagwood which she loved as well. Friendly staff to boot. I can definitely see us returning here soon.

The inside was bright and airy and had a trendy upscale hotel lobby feel- complete with background music. Jordan was at the register and took our order and was so helpful. Super welcoming and friendly as we navigated the menu. We had the Dagwood sandwich and the Chicken Katsu Sandwich- both with fries. Be warned- these sandwiches are HUGE. We could have split one and likely still taken home leftovers. These maybe the best sandwiches I've eaten in a long time. Well appointed, seasoned, Looking forward to going in early for breakfast/brunch and then one night for dinner.
