    Western Omelette
    Ivan S.

    Went here for brunch with friends, was not disappointed. It's definitely a cafe style restaurant, there's not a lot of space inside and the tables/seats are a bit crowded. That said, everything is priced very reasonably and staff is very friendly. The food was good, and the only thing that fell short was my eggs benedict, the yolk was fully cooked and not runny how it's supposed to be. That said it still tasted great and the sweet potato fries were the perfectly crispy. Service was fast too!

    Wonderful Staff & Outstanding Food. Thank you ... If you are looking for a breakfast place ..... this is it

    I wanted Eggs Benedict. It came with country ham, way too salty, and very tough. Hard to cut. The side of fruit was small. Not bad, not good. Ambiance? What's that? Strip center, dark, so-so service. If I'm back in this area, I won't be coming back.

    Kristy and Laura Lee took great care of me, my mom and daughter. Customer service always seals the deal for me or is a dealbreaker. The deal was sealed. I pulled up to the door to let my mom out who uses a walker. Before I could get her out of the car, the manager I think came out and held the door open for us. She had even already selected the nearest table to the door and had our menus on the table. Come on! I knew then it was going to be a good experience and it was. I got some sort of shrimp and grits dish with this cream sauce which was delicious. I was told it's not always on the menu so I wanted to try it. Beware there is bacon in it. I typically don't eat pork but it was still delicious. Our service was great and both of our servers were very friendly. The kindness and care towards my Mom really stood out. We came in the afternoon on Saturday which was a great time. We were told in the morning there's usually a 45 minute wait. Food is so fresh. They serve breakfast and lunch and ended up closing while we were there. However we were not made to feel like we had to hurry our meal and get out. The bathroom is clean. Private single room. Large enough for my mom to take her walker in. Restaurant is not huge so if you appreciate quaint this is it. They also own Fresh Chef a few doors down. Both are worth checking out!

    Nice little breakfast spot with waitresses as sweet as peach tea. Amped my avocado toast with a cheddar biscuit in lieu of toast - yummy! Cheddar grits were solid, but nothing to write your Southern mama about.

    I really enjoyed my time here. Very small and quaint. The perfect spot for an intimate breakfast or brunch with a friend. My food was delicious. I ordered the spinach salad topped with salmon and a side of fresh berries. I also ordered a pineapple mimosa and it was delicious. If you're ever in Cornelius and in need of a quick bite here us your place! Service was awesome and quick!

    So this restaurant has been on our list for awhile, but weekends are pretty busy for brunch. So we came in on a Monday instead and there was no wait. I couldn't decide what to order, because so many items on the menu look so good, and the yelp page has such great reviews. I finally landed on the Baja omelette and ordered a side of hashbrowns with peppers and onions and a biscuit. It was really good, I loved the jalapeños in the omelette because I really enjoy spicy food. It was a lot of food and I was full by the time I ate half of it. I also tasted the Reuben and OMG it was so good we got one to go. The staff was super nice and friendly, and our server Tim gave us some great recommendations not only for menu items at the Fresh Egg, but also for other good restaurants in the Lake Norman area. It seemed like a lot of the customers were regulars, who knew what they wanted, ate their food and left. That may be us one day, because we'll definitely return.

    Let me start by saying.....when I say Fresh Egg is NOT to be missed out on, I mean it with all of me!! I had a major craving for a Reuben sandwich and outside of Katz Delicatessen in New York, Fresh Egg is now my #2, but is working it's way up to #1 (and I've only been once...so far). LOL! Fresh Egg is located on Catawba Avenue in Cornelius, where there are a variety of stores, eateries, etc. The restaurant is located in the same shopping center as fresh market and a ton of other stores, so it's super convenient if you have to make a stop. Upon arrival, there were tables/seating outside and upon entering the restaurant, there were pub tables and regular tables inside. The decor of the restaurant made it feel very welcoming as a breakfast spot and it truly felt like a place "where everybody knows your name". Come to find out, that truly lived up to that notion! While eating at Fresh Egg, there were numerous patrons that came in and the staff knew their names! That's how you can tell that this place is super legit! #regulars As I mentioned, I had a craving for a Reuben sandwich. As soon as I asked about the Reuben sandwich, Tim (the best waiter) immediately told me that it was hands-down the best! And he was right! Their corned beef is made in house and it is super tender. After seeing another review on Yelp, which described the Reuben sandwich as melts in your mouth, that's exactly what it did! In fact, it was SO good that we ordered one to go! The staff at Fresh Egg was absolutely amazing! And not only were they friendly, accommodating and welcoming upon arrival, but they also have GREAT personalities and make you feel so welcome, even as a first timer. It really helps you to see why so many people come back again and again! Tim was our waiter and he gave excellent recommendations, not only for Fresh Egg, but also for other eateries and breweries in the Lake Norman area. With service and food that was experienced, I cannot wait for my second visit (which will likely be in less than a week)! LOL! We let the staff know that they'll likely know our names and get tired of seeing us show up! LOL! If you are in the Cornelius area, PLEASE stop by or grab a meal to go! You'll be kicking yourself for not doing that!

The decline in food quality and inattentive service have removed this restaurant from our rotation.

    Wonderful place to grab breakfast! This morning I had my first experience at Cocotte. Our order was…read morethe Saint Germaine sandwich, the breakfast croissant, and two drip coffees. The sandwich was spectacular on a wonderful crusty baguette. It wasn't heated up and made fresh about two hours before I came in most likely, so it wasn't soggy as others mentioned. It was wonderful. The flavor was very savory. My grandmother was very pleased with her breakfast sandwich! Big, flaky croissant with fluffy eggs! The coffee was not weak and I enjoyed it. Creamer was offered as a self-serve from a pitcher. It certainly felt better than opening 9 creamer cups between two people. Free water was offered at the end of the line, too. So, no waiting for a refill. I also got two pastries to go-- both were spectacular. Sweet in a savory and memorable way, rather than being over-the-top and masking fake-y ingredients with sugar like many places do. The bakers do a wonderful job. Despite the crowd and line, the employees moved quickly and kindly. Pleasantries were still exchanged and things made-to-order were out in a timely manner. The people here work very hard. It's a hectic job but they do it well and they do it without sacrificing small niceties or helpfulness. The interior was nice, too. Tables were kept clean and there was a nice area for little ones to occupy themselves while parents enjoyed their drink and meal. Books, some plushies, and pretend-play toys were there. No tablets or items that could make them hyper. I very much enjoyed my experience after a hard night and morning. Thank you to everyone that works at Cocotte for showing up and staying kind. With tip, for two people you can expect to spend around $35. Not a terrible price for a great brunch experience with great environment + people. I recommend 100%. Though, maybe come early in the morning while everything is fresh. Others have different experiences late in the day it sounds like.

The restaurant is known for its casual yet upscale ambiance, which definitely came through during our visit.  Where the experience fell a bit short for me was the food. Everything was prepared well and perfectly edible, but nothing really stood out or felt especially memorable. It wasn't bad by any means--just not quite at the same level as the atmosphere and service. I went for the lobster tail ravioli, and it was just a bit too chewy for my taste. I was hoping for a dish that would make me eager to come back, but that didn't happen on this visit. I could, however, come back. I would give it a second chance and would like to try drinks from the bar.  Overall, Torrence and Knox is a great spot for the ambiance, service, and overall dining experience. If you're looking for a comfortable place to meet friends, enjoy drinks, or have a relaxed night out, it's definitely worth a visit. I'd return for the atmosphere alone and would be interested to try more of the menu in the future.
