I tried eggs Benedict for the first time and it was good. The crab cake was very good. I did not like the grits though, I felt they were very thick. The outside area where we ate was beautiful and peaceful and shady. I would attend again. They also give you a crumb cake while you wait for your food, which is nice, although a bit off putting if you were going to order something sweet. I ended up changing my order because once I had the sweet crumb cake I didn't want something else sweet with my meal.

Fresh Egg - Where Diets Go to Die (Happily)…read more Our group of 4 1/2 (yes, somebody only ate half their plate because self-control showed up late ) walked into Fresh Egg thinking we were just grabbing breakfast... and walked out needing a nap and a moment of silence. Let's talk FOOD. That omelet? Fluffy like it trained at egg boot camp. Stuffed with sausage, ham, bacon, cheese basically the Avengers of breakfast. The home fries were crispy golden cubes of perfection. Not soggy. Not greasy. Just straight-up breakfast excellence. The ham slices were thick and flavorful like they meant business. That biscuit sandwich? Soft, buttery, and holding everything together like a breakfast superhero. And those cheesy grits? Creamy enough to make you emotional. Add melted cheddar and it's basically Southern comfort in a bowl. Portions? Generous. Flavor? Elite. Coffee? Flowing like we were at a caffeine convention. Now let's talk about Jonathan Jonathan delivered AMAZING service. Attentive without hovering, friendly without being forced, and on top of everything like a breakfast conductor running a delicious orchestra. Drinks stayed filled, food came out hot, and he made sure our whole crew felt taken care of. That kind of service turns a good meal into a great experience. The vibe inside? Busy, lively, happy breakfast energy everywhere. You can tell this is a spot people return to again and again. Final verdict: We came hungry. We left full. We left smiling. And yes... we'll be back. Fresh Egg you cracked the code.

The restrooms were clean and well kept. The food was very good, with a wide variety of options. As well as the drinks, with lots of featured wines and cocktails.

The only issue I had was that a man was constantly worrying about people not joining his music trivia, otherwise I had no complaints!

I recently visited Torrence and Knox in Cornelius and came away with mixed--but mostly…read morepositive--feelings. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a great atmosphere and a welcoming vibe that makes it an enjoyable place to spend an evening. The location is convenient, and the space feels fresh, modern, and inviting. The service was also a highlight of the experience. Our server was friendly, attentive, and helped make the meal enjoyable from start to finish. 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.

Welcome to the Serve, the Cornelius answer to how to be active while enjoying good times with friends. Reserve one of their 10 pickleball court in their air conditioned room or grab one outside when it's not hot. There are also golf simulators, dining space, and event space so bring the whole crew to have fun and hang out. The courts are spaced out so groups can play and have a comfortable booth to sit and order food. Their bartender Krista was very engaging and happy to suggest a beverage with your favorite libation. We ate in the restaurant. My son enjoyed the kids chicken tenders. My wife and I enjoyed the short ribs grilled cheese and the bbq chicken pizza. There's a full breakfast and lunch menu and breakfast is available till 2 on Saturday so you have a variety of options to order. If you want to hang out as a family or with friends you'll have a great time at The Serve.

Our server was also really nice, but it did take us a while to refill our drinks. We were pretty much done eating when he came back around. The food was good, but for what you're paying you don't get a lot of food. I expect bigger portions from Americanized Italian restaurants. I loved the flavor of the white truffle garlic bread but it was a little too hard like it was overcooked. The meatballs were pretty good and had a nice ricotta on it. I absolutely loved the seared scallops though. It paired well with the butternut squash risotto, but then fish definitely could've used more risotto.

My wife and I recently stopped at this French bakery, originally intending to grab a pastry and go…read more Once we saw so many people sitting down to eat, we decided to stay and make a meal of it. The staff was very friendly, and everything in the pastry case looked amazing. Unfortunately, the dining area was somewhat dirty and disorganized. I realize that was probably a combination of customers not cleaning up after themselves and the staff being too busy to keep pace, but there was food smeared in several places, and we had to do quite a bit of cleaning before we could settle in. We really wanted to love this place, but we left disappointed overall. My croque monsieur was the clear standout--a genuine 10 out of 10. It was absolute perfection. Unfortunately, my wife's classic ham-and-cheese baguette was the exact opposite. The ham and cheese were excellent, but the baguette was blackened on the bottom and so tough that she couldn't bite through it. She eventually gave up and ate only the meat and cheese. A baguette should have a satisfying chew and a good crust, but it shouldn't require a battle. When you visit a French bakery, freshly baked bread should be one of the highlights. The turkey salad side was also unappealing. It contained a seasoning neither of us cared for, and the overall dish felt greasy and heavy. It needed some fruit, nuts, or another bright element to provide contrast and balance. The tomato soup served with my sandwich was perfectly decent, but it wasn't noticeably better than a good premade soup from the grocery store. We also tried a pear pastry, chocolate chip cookies, and another pastry roll. Nothing was bad, but nothing was particularly memorable, either. Everything was simply okay. We would be willing to give the bakery another chance and sample some different pastries. The bread used for my croque monsieur was outstanding, so I would gladly return for a loaf of that if it's available to purchase. Overall, however, the experience was good rather than memorable, and we don't feel any urgency to return. To those about to nosh, we salute you--and hope you don't break your jaw on an overcooked baguette!

Pleasantly surprised with the service and quality of food ordered. Wife ordered grilled cheese sandwich, a few cheeses used as well as tomato and bacon added, on a hearty bread.

I had a order of full pancakes, 3 rustic shaped pancakes with good flavor, added maple syrup and butter to make a delicious breakfast. Service was excellent and will again become a regular breakfast restaurant rotation.

Rise Café is a total Gem!…read more The food was absolutely delicious and the staff super friendly. I tried the corn beef hash and while it was described as house made, I would venture to guess it's actually high-quality store-bought, corned beef, finally minced and seasoned with the potatoes even so it was very good! The grits were really creamy although you can tell they're cooked with chicken broth rather than heavy cream, which is the traditional southern way. It is a bit small inside maybe 10 tables total but they have a nice patio in front that's fairly expensive. I would definitely return as a regular to this establishment. Thanks for a great dining experience!
