For a $14 breakfast sandwich, they were at least generous as you can see from my picture, so much so that I took half home for the next day. My wife enjoyed her country benedict as we took in the decor which is straight up grandma retro throwback kitchen with lots of booths to sit in. Arriving at prime time on a recent Sunday, there was no wait, we were seated immediately. The service was friendly and prompt and you pay your check at the register by the door. So glad to have this option nearby, we'll be back.

The restaurant filled every box in the Greek diner handbook. Lots of food selections, outdated decor, open cooking area, etc. Food was fresh and tasted good. I had a triple decker sandwich that I could not finish and my significant other had an egg white omelet which more than half came home with us. They give you way too much food. I would have felt better with a smaller portion. Ambiance not fantastic. I felt as if everything was from the 1950's. The whole restaurant could use a makeover. I would highly suggest a makeover. We would go back to Country Kitchen

An overdue update -- we gave Brunch Cafe another shot…read more And another. And another. And another. It's quickly become part of our regular rotation for breakfast out (which, frankly, doesn't happen often enough in my opinion). The service has been consistently good since that first visit. The menu has evolved a bit over time. I love the stuffed potato pancakes. And I adore that you can now get *any* omelet potato crusted (including building your own!). Prices are reasonable and tables turn over quickly so there never seems to be much of wait -- or you can join the waitlist online before arriving.

We were able to get last minute reservations for 8:30 on a Friday, which was surprising given how extremely busy this place is on the weekends. We arrived on time and were seated quickly without a wait, which was another impressive moment given how packed the restaurant was. Dining here is like dining in the city on the weekends, with a majority of the crowd tending toward older groups of friends or families without children. There was one family of four who brought their child with them, but generally we saw couples and groups of friends. Dress seems standardly smart casual. Food: The menu here is organized into three sections: small plates, mid-size meals, and entree-sized portions. Keep in mind the mid-sized plates can be on the larger side, so the tapas-style menu can be deceiving. We ordered the steak and frites and branzino as our mains, with polenta fries on the side. For apps, we ordered the butternut squash ravioli and were greeted with complimentary cheesy biscuits to start. We finished our meal with the olive oil cake, covered in raspberries. Based on what we ordered, we'd give this place a 4/5, simply because the steak my husband ordered was a tiny bit tough and overcooked (ordered medium rare, received medium well). The cut was a strip or a ribeye, so unfortunately on the tougher side, and less flavorful. My fish was nicely seared but the cannellini beans that were paired with the branzino just didn't do it for me. Branzino is a white fish that tolerates spice and garnishes very well, so it could have benefited from some more complex flavors. That said, we will be back for the ravioli. I'd wager that it is the best thing on the winter menu (this place rotates menu selections somewhat frequently). It was creamy, complex, and soft, with a delicious umami sauce. The olive oil cake we shared for dessert was also very delicious, moist and well-paired with simple cream and berries. Nice and simple but did the trick without being overwhelming or cloyingly sweet. The biscuits are also a nice touch: soft and buttery, not dry, and baked fresh. Overall, I'd say that veggie and pasta dishes are the way to go here, and potentially the fish if it is paired with a more complex side in the future. We look forward to future menus!
